There are two things I like:
This story has it all!
ARM architecture 64 bit. It’s the style of CPU in your phone and MacBooks, known for being energy efficient and it’s performance is getting better too.
The big downside though is that loads of old Windows apps aren’t going to run on these as effortlessly as they would on conventional x86-64 CPUs from Intel and AMD.
The phones is the hardest one, there just is no practical alternatives to the main two. Even degoogling is centered around pixels and other mainstream brands.
I am looking at Nothing at the moment, I want something green and private.
I did see some work arounds for banking apps with harmony OS. I kight have another look.
There are barriers, I dont want AI or the crazy HDR processing but I do want a decrnt camera. I'd love a phone with hardware kill switches for loads of features.
Sorry I was mixed up, I dont trust Huawei one bit. I think they make great tech but I dont want them in my life.
Yeah I'm not entirely sure about that, they are all the same one is just state sponsored.
HarmonyOS is their property, its not like they couldnt get nefarious shit into it
Yeah...Im not defending microsoft here I dont use a single product of theirs outside work.
Im saying they are the same, with less oversights, tramsparency and more state complicity(or at least visibly so)
I didnt say it was laudable oversight but it is more than what we see of China.
