- lenerdenator 3y agoFirst one, then the other. I wouldn't go for the subscription until you're near a covert international police station though. You're really just not getting the totalitarianism for your money.
- quenix 3y agoUgh, enough with this
- cpursley 3y agoIt's really tiring; political comments on here have become reddit-level.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoThere is literally a guideline specifically about this. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit.
- cpursley 3y agoHuh, well regarding the snide political remarks that always follow mention of certain countries (i.e., non-Western) it has. Maybe we need a new guideline for that. I mean, can we just chat about the technical aspects of Neom or MateBooks or whatever without all the political stuff? There's other communities for that.
- Wytwwww 3y ago> Maybe we need a new guideline for that. So, don't say anything demeaning about China or the CCP unless you write at least two (for now anyway...) paragraphs? Sounds like a reasonably good idea. 500 social credits for you.

- junaru 3y agoThere is literary a guideline specifically about the top comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Or how about: > Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity.
- cpursley 3y agoPerfect, thanks for pointing that out!
- fwip 3y agoSince I live in America, I'd rather the Chinese government spy on me than the American government.

- himinlomax 3y agoI source my personal electronics from South Korea and Taiwan very deliberately.
- lenerdenator 3y ago> so there is nothing stopping foxconn workers fro installing spyware on the factory floor. Which would mean that Tim Cook would be getting a late-night phone call from an alphabet soup agency explaining to him in no uncertain terms that Apple's days of manufacturing devices in China are over, starting five minutes ago. There's a business interest in not compromising hardware made in PRC for foreign companies. That doesn't exist when the CCP controls the company too.
- sofixa 3y agoIt's an interesting theory. Doing such a thing (Apple stopping to manufacture in China abruptly) would severely disrupt Apple manufacturing and sales, and probably tank its stock price while they take years to ramp up manufacturing in alternative places in India. Such an event would have big ramifications for the US stock markets and wider economy. Do you think the US government as a whole would accept the risk of a stock market run by ruining a $2.6 trillion market cap company?
- Wytwwww 3y ago> would severely disrupt Apple manufacturing and sales, and probably tank its stock price And the whole thing becoming public knowledge wouldn't cause that? Anyway... realistically they'd take some "measures" to make sure this never happens again while staying in the same factories and then probably accelerate their plan to move somewhere else long term.
- lenerdenator 3y agoIt might not be "abrupt" (was taking poetic license with "five minutes ago") but there would probably be tremendous pressure to accelerate the creation of production capacity in countries less adversarial to the United States and its allies.

- sofixa 3y agoThe specs look pretty good on paper (super light, low TDP, decent CPU, lots of storage and RAM) and the price is pretty low: the top level model (32 GB RAM and 2TB storage) comes out to a bit less 2k euros. Of course it'd be more expensive when it actually comes to the EU for sale, but still, the pricing is pretty competitive.
- RadixDLT 3y agohow are they using Intel Core Ultra 9?
- luyu_wu 3y agoThey have had a license to import Intel chips since the ban, I think it just got renewed too.
- cmcconomy 3y agovery carefully
- knd775 3y agoThey must be running it at its minimum frequency all the time. And/or lying about the TDP. I'd assume both
- luyu_wu 3y agoThe first point you raises goes with the second. Some obvious prejudice showing through. It's already been tested to maintain 40W by third-parties...
- knd775 3y agoNo, my comment was entirely based on the fact that it apparently uses significantly less power than the CPU alone is rated for.

- alberth 3y ago12" MacBook I'm surprised Apple never re-released the 12" MacBook with an M-series chip. Since that was the defining moment when Apple realized they needed to create their own computer cpu (M-series). --- For context, in 2015 Apple release for the first time both the: - 12" MacBook (running Intel) - iPad Pro (running a beefed up A-series chip) The form factor of these two devices was near identical. But the speed and power consumption was hugely different. People constantly complained how slow and hot the Intel 12" MacBook was. While the iPad Pro (with it's beefed up A-series) had super long battery life, fast and cool. That's when Apple realized that Intel wasn't going to be able to produce the CPUs they wanted and went all in on creating M-Series.
- _visgean 3y agoAny information how well it plays with linux?
- luyu_wu 3y agoPast Matebooks have had OK support. If I remember correctly, there's some packages that provide some of the functionality of Huawei's window drivers (third-party though).
