Even if China were doing that, what would they do with the information? Nothing, because they don’t give a shit about you, because you’re on the other side of the planet. They’re not doing that because they’re not cartoon villains wasting their time and effort on nefarious plots against Western randos.
Also, almost all of your current hardware came from China, so I guess you’re not actually that worried about it.
GPUs being able to spy on you is a problem. Linux and OSs should work on ways to minimise this possibility. But specifically worrying about them ratting you out to the CPC is in my opinion much less serious than spying on you for commercial interests. Ultimately it’s possible to avoid visiting China if you aren’t Chinese. Including Chinese websites.
Given the option, I prefer US spying over Chinese spying. Yes, the US, with all its shit, is still better than China since there still is (just a little) more transparent than China.
Having said that, why not neither? Can we please already start having open source hardware?
I think that Snowden (and other leakers) would argue that the US is much much less transparent. Though it is best to just assume that all major govs are spying on everyone (even if it makes an ass out of u and me). Though we can agree on open source hardware.
In a democracy most people get what they want most of the time. Do you honestly believe that people in the US want to go bankrupt every time they need healthcare?
A democracy is the people voting lol. You also get what you vote for, some people vote against themselves. Nice thing about China is the state knows best and you dont need to vote :)
This discussion started with the question “is it better to have a democracy or a dictatorship spy on you” but sure.
China is a communist country governed by one political party that allows only limited democratic activity.
Interesting quote from your link. I’f they adopt democracy and allow fair elections then it wouldn’t be a problem but maybe that’s too European for your liking
This was never about performance, I hope we get more competitive products.
Even if they traced your CPC complaints, they’re literally so far away from you to even matter while the US is literally next to you and has threatened to annex you ffs 😂 assuming you’re canadian, by your instance
Don’t worry, the US govt will proudly sell the opportunity for palantir or some other bullshit AI surveillance company to embed spyware into your hardware to ensure you’re not a terrorist*
wait what? you can’t possibly be this imbecile, really? You’re insinuating that China, the main target of Trump tariffs and warmongering, is responsible for Trump? 😭
Also don’t worry about the spyware tracing everything negative you might say about the CPC…
You discuss the CPC while playing video games? Weird flex, but okay.

Yeah! Only American based companies are allowed to spy on us!

How would you know which is less transparent?
I think that Snowden (and other leakers) would argue that the US is much much less transparent. Though it is best to just assume that all major govs are spying on everyone (even if it makes an ass out of u and me). Though we can agree on open source hardware.
How is the US better?
White, Anglo-Saxon, Christian.
It’s theoretically a democracy, china isnt

Confidently incorrect
People vote in China. Anyways, this is getting off topic. This Chinese GPU should be judged on technical merits, not based on the form of government or whether China adheres to European cultural and political norms. If that’s your only issue with it, then it is an admission that it is a competitive product.

Well, they get what they deserve, not necessarily what they want. Americans need to get better at aligning their wants with their political behavior.
Lol
It literally is
Yeah, North Korea too
The US has literally threatened to annex Canada and you’re here simping for them 😅

*someone critical of the trump regime
Thank you for taking your valuable time away from huffing gas to grace us with your deep and profound insights.
Even if that were true, it’d be better than spyware tracing everything to the US Empire. What’s China going to do to me when I live in the US?

What does China have to do with Trump?

JUST IN: In a surprise twist, foreigners to blame for this one too!
That’s this years Pulitzers and Peabodys sorted
I don’t see what this has to do with Trump or data collected by GPUs.
At least follow the script, Trump administration is because of the damn Russians…
