I find it funny when libs say not to buy Chinese phones because they “may” send data to the CPC (because they connect to the internet from time to time, so scary!)
What can the CPC do worse than my own government can’t? Like you should be more scared of the government you live under, not one that’s some 3000 miles away or whatever.
Don’t buy Apple, it leaks data to the CIA.
The Chinese police might look at your DMs to see if you’ve talked about having an abortion… oh wait
Libs tend to assume that the “bad guy country” is 100 times worse than their own at all times, at all things. So if the US cops wantonly murder people in the street and the CIA tracks the calls of every US citizen, China must do all that but like…more. They’re just better at hiding it.
Honestly I would rather Xi read my texts than all the feds Google is probably selling my data to.
I’m just like, if the CPC is spying on my shit, then that’s just gonna be good for me if I ever decide to try and flee to there lol.
3000 miles away or whatever
Fun fact, the closest distance from mainland USA to China is still over 7000 miles, the lower 48 is around 3000 miles coast to coast. (Don’t worry, I totally understand the rest of the comment, I just figured I’d provide additional context to point out just how preposterous the original joke is)
Edit: correction in italics
I recently bought a new phone from OnePlus and when looking at the specs online, one of the cons was: may leak data to Chinese government.
I hope not, they might find out I’m a commie or something
If you dislike the stock OS, or find it too bloated, you can flash LineageOS anytime. Most of the OnePluses are supported. It’s a way better experience than any stock Android imho.
Except for the camera quality normally, because all of that A.I. assisted image processing is proprietary code.
Which phone? 4G or 5G? How much did it cost? Still using Poco F1 bought in 2018.
OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. It cost me 200 euro I think on discount from 229.
What device did you use you till now and since when? I don’t like to change my device if it’s not broken but once the battery gets old it becomes a compulsion to buy new phone due to unavailability of original batteries. Phone companies should provide original batteries till at least 5 to 6 years of launch.
Thats a good device you got there.
i wish xi saw my posts
I paid 250€ for my current Xiaomi and I love it. It’s ridiculous how good the phone is compared to its cheap price. No way I will stop using Chinese phones (especially since the CIA is a lot scarier than the CPC)
I love how, with the Snowden leaks and more, we know definitively that the US government is collecting all our data but people are super scared right now that China might be spying on them.
One thing’s for sure: capitalism seems to be miles ahead of any socialist country when it comes to propagandizing their citizens. Because the best propaganda is the kind that you don’t even know is there.
Lol, the US 3 letter agencies are more likely to disappear me than anyone in China.
Same, xiaomi phones are 10x better than samshits for a third of the price. Really funny that the with the US blocking huawei, and now soon xiaomi, that the US will have access to only the worst phones.
I might start looking at Xiaomi next… I started with Huawei but they’re getting expensive now. Still very good phones, best camera on the market on the P50 pro at the time, but they’re iPhone prices now
Xiaomi phones are extremely good…i’m too deeply entrenched in Apple’s ecosystem though.
Suggestions? My Motorola is getting rather dated. Do they still have aux ports? I hate the trend of companies getting rid of them.
I’d rather entertain Xi than some NSA loser, honestly.
Unfortunately you’re probably more likely entertaining the NSA agent than Xi
