- officeplant 5y agoNot really as they have always been fairly open about working closely with factories in Shenzhen that product the products if you subscribe to their monthly email digest. Their previous US based offices seemed kinda pointless.
- amelius 5y agoBut what happens if China takes over control in HK?
- CameronNemo 5y agoChina already has control over HK and the non-HK factories and shipping centers where the products come from.
- officeplant 5y agoA change in geopoltics?
- fsflover 5y agoThey publish schematics for their devices.
- coffeecat 5y agoIf you're worried about that, you can go with Purism. But, because their employees make San Francisco salaries, and they lack expertise and connections within China's supplier/manufacturer scene, Purism can't even come close to competing with Pine64 on price.
