I wanted to point this out since the whole thing reeks of sabotage and normies will never talk about this openly.

I'm thinking of getting a new phone/laptop and decided that I'd rather have China spy on me than (((CIA))) because at least Xi won't suicide me or lob a Mercedes at my car during my commute.

Edit: I should have added that the failures of USB-C on Lenovos products was widespread and a huge PR hit to them publicly. Some of the thunderbolt chips were physically fried and unfixable via software. Media was quick to point the finger at Lenovo and attack their reputation as an enterprise solution. I don't care about China but I hate Intel even more for their faggotry.

Is the Librem a really a viable alternative to android/apple phones? It seems promising but being in it's infancy, it seems pretty limited. I'm really hoping it gains traction, but I'm waiting till it advances a bit to jump in.

You never know.

Better not call him Winnie; China's got agents all over the U.S.

How about "that rotund commie fuckhead who's such a pussy he can't stand being criticized"?

Or maybe Chinktator?

I assume you are referring to this:

In January 2019, Intel announced an investment of over $11 billion on a new Israeli chip plant, as told by the Israeli Finance Minister.

Got any information that should make us this Intel is actually under israeli control?

First time hearing this, thanks for sharing. It's quite amusing how privacy minded individuals don't recognize who is doing the spying and censoring.

Yeah, the viruses are in form of hardware backdoors.

They have. With backdoors. For quite a while actually.

They also stopped being the best if you haven't noticed. Amd is where it's at now, it's CA based so you might not like that lol. This is the guy behind the curtain: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Papermaster (cto) - the CEOs a random girl

The backdoor is literally burned into the hardware. It doesnt matter what you install. Welcome to the future

Remember that Intel still has critical design flaws that can't and will never be, fixed.

All things being equal (and assuming they both spy just as much as the other), you'd be stupid to overpay for Intel when you can get a Ryzen that performs just as well for less money and requires less power.

Everyone should. Intel cpus are literal garbage compared to amd now. Amd is beating them in performance and price.
