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
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
Oh shit
Can you use Line Pay?
I know a guy from Switzerland here in China
And never heard of Line Pay
Line Pay is pretty much everywhere in Taiwan and it works prepaid, and you can charge it over PayPal
And it's just connected to a phone number, which may be a foreign phone number
Oh yea Taiwan
well I got a chinese phone number
Taiwan and Japan use it a lot, I don't know about China in this matter
Nah
well Paypal is actually not blocked in china
but any local services ONLY use Alipay or WeChat pay
