Comment Re: When I worked at Huawei in my country... (Score 1) 25

I worked at Huawei sales until the end of the last decade. We used a hodgepodge of different systems running on Oracle SAP and Salesforce masked as "eQuote" etc. It was a fucking nightmare...

Nowadays I'm working as sales in a large US IT company and we use Salesforce along with dozens of excel sheets and some legacy systems.

So, have you got any arguments or are you just virtue signaling?
You know, there is a whole wide world beyond the US borders, and technologically and scientifically, the US have been surpassed a couple of decades ago even the Chinese are now far now advanced.

But then again, who gives a fuck... Just keep trolling.

No and no.
Either provide credible docs or stfu.
Neither Huawei bitte the ccp are the innocence in any ways, but neither are any other telecom supplier in the world or government party.

Calling Huawei the prolonged seem of the ccp is just like calling AWSa prolonged seem of the US administration.

FISA act, CLOUD act for a beginning - considering all market leading tech companies are from the US, all of your data is being shared with them.

Also, my former European employer Nokia had to give access to their whole source code, as well as their root certificates to the US gvmt, something the Chinese refused to do and good banned from the us telecoms infrastructure market.

And finally, not cooperating with your European $COUNTRY is not an option, add most countries have a security apparatus in place which takes legitimation from"protecting" the constitution ( something we call "secret police" in countries we don't like) ie Verfassungsschutz in Germany, DST France, Security Service/MI5 UK,....

Look, my first smartphone was a Visor, after that, I had an iPaq
Similarly, my first VR Headset was a Cybermaxx, later Vuzix, Oculus and now we have to use Facebook.

AR wise, Magic Leap and Nreal Light - both duds...

As much as I despise Apple and their iSheep community, these guys at least are able to disrupt the market. So, Let's wait ans see where the market will follow.

Apple is not an innovator, Apple is a signal that the market is ripe...

These multicopter designs usually rely on outrunner motors without reduction, as they use constant speed props with a relatively small range of load/rpm.
A reduction gear in aircraft motors is needed for larger props with a lower rpm than where the highest efficiency of the electric motor lies. So, you basically keep the speed if the motor the same but change the prop pitch, depending on the load you want to put on the prop.

I think we have different notions of wokeness.

Being humane and against racism and discriminations is imho not wokeness.
Replacing characters based on a forced ideology, and thereby discriminating against others (whites, chinese, terf women etc.) Is what repels people (including me).

And I am an old socialist, tending to the left, but this shit coming mainly from the US has nothing to do with social justice. It's actually the opposite.
