They are a Chinese company you know... They are obligated to allow the government to inject their shit in to it

No intel ME tier shit

Oooh in that sense yea

free from America, not from China though

I doubt there's any backdoor

They're low end MIPS chips

Yea but.... It's china man

They have cameras on every street

Stallman uses one

Like every phone and Chinese app is backdoor'ed

oh shit

Buying them on TaoBao I guess?

Try to buy a fuulong series barebone instead of just a mainboard

Christ, Stallman's autism runs deep

kek

Finding other hardware that works with those boards might be difficult

But that's <#189467888657235970>

well yea... But if it works with Linux and just has standard USB ports then most should work just fine

Also don't forget to visit a mi shop

Been to one already

Also how come they all use Windows XP? Didn't the "free upgrade" to windows 10 apply to China?

Oh of fucking course they wanted to backdoor the OS first

The MIPS lemotes won't run windows though

Yea I don't need windows

but if you guys are ever visiting china you should get a chinese credit card.. because you can't use western credit cards for anything other than withdrawing money

can't pay in stores, can't use wechat pay, can't use Alipay or anything

Provided you want to bend over for the Chinese government of course and give them all your details

My bank offers me a China ready credit card on demand with UnionPay

But then again, they already know everything about you

Oh shit

I thought every western bank has that offer

Just use cash keep strapped and throw gs

well I'm not from America, nor' do I have my own bank soo no idea to be honest

just know my card and other exchange students here can't use their cards

and yea I always pay with cash

I'm not American either

where from?

Switzerland
