Huawei officially banned from using SD cards in future laptops and smartphones
- iamnothere 7y agoIt's frightening to see how a company can simply be banned from the use of common technical infrastructure like this. This is obviously a coordinated direct assault on Huawei, and whether you approve of the company or not, I think it's scary that this sort of attack is even possible. With what we've been seeing domestically, people being banned from social media, payment processors, and banks and the like in a coordinated way, I suddenly feel very concerned when I see this happening to Huawei. It feels like we are rapidly entering a form of totalitarianism in the West.
- Someone 7y agoI agree. I think it also may backfire. The Chinese market, backed by its government, is large enough to develop alternatives, and those could become the cheaper and/or better alternative.
