we hope will will see some reviews by western media, with clear comparisons against AMD and Intel solutions.

So Tom's Hardware is hoping that someone with motherboard expertise will step up and test these things proper so (presumably) Tom's Hardware can report the results.

Is there even a reason to continue development of Loongson now that China's deep into RISCV?

[–] SinJab0n@mujico.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If they can compete with AMD instead of the dying intel, sure, why not?

Are they x86 to begin whith or r they another ARM based cpu?

It is a custom architecture somewhat related to MIPS

Western corporate media’s wild rumors of GINA spyware > known NSA spyware.

Hey, it"s not bad if it's the US doing it... freedom for everyone

EternalBlue says hi

[–] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's absolutely bad when the US does it. I made no claim otherwise. Cheap tech being used as an entry point for data mining the customers, regardless of country the products are sold in is pretty well documented at this point.

[–] fatalError@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No different than the Amazon Echo devices, Google Assisstant hardware and other such devices being sold at a loss just to squeeze all that juicy data.

And people willingly put these spyware always on mic devices in their homes.

We need more awareness on privacy...

[–] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

100% agree. I've only just started my privacy/self hosted journey almost exactly 1 year ago. Still learning, but I'm loving the experience so far.

He said, on his qualcomm-based phone

[–] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Jokes on you. My phone is two soup cans and a length of string.

[–] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As if the american based companies don't do the same lol

[–] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, and....? Did I claim otherwise anywhere? Privacy isn't a zero sum game. You cant fully protect yourself short of ditching tech and the Internet entirely. And even then, there's already a digital footprint left behind you'll never get rid of. But you can make informed choices like not trusting Google or Microsoft to host your personal data, not buying the smart home devices, keeping data local only/host your own cloud, use Linux instead of Windows, etc.

[–] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Fair enough
