That Dell was still certainly made in China. And the SSD, while not manufactured in China, likely had components which were.
It's practically impossible to avoid it.
- nordsieck 4y agoIMO, the best one can practically do is to just buy used. It's not 0 support, but it's a lot less than buying new.
- pantalaimon 4y agoUsed hardware usually has better support in Linux anyway.
- daveguy 4y agoI think the point is they haven't purchased a new one in 10 years. Therefore, no more purchase from China.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoI mean Xi has been president for the last 10 years, so even that Dell would have supported ol' Winnie. For someone with such a strong anti-china stance (enough to create a throwaway), I'd expect full devotion to the cause.
- soperj 4y agoI think you're letting perfect be the enemy of good.
- throwawayccp 4y agoLaptop was purchased before XI became president. Agree we can't avoid completely but still doing something is better than nothing.
