In 12 months the Chinese will have an android system of their own. Donald has done them a favour

Huawei actually pay for the uk government’s testing of every product used in the uk- there are basically full time employees paid for. Y Huawei as part of gchq that test their equipment.
They seem to have money to burn, and are in a constant recruitment drive. Despite the pay there is no way I’d work there and there is no way I’d buy a Huawei phone, even though they are very good.
Which is ironic as they'll probably pinch everyone else's copyrighted ideas to do it-just imagine,a chinese browser.Google will be effed.:hehe:Quote:

I think protectionism plays a big part of this.
I'm sure there will be some simple software workarounds available very shortly in any case
I have no idea Malcom , and Rhodri, but I'm glad we discussed it ( sssssssh they are listening )Quote:

Have one, it's a fine phone, does everything I need and more without paying ridiculous money on it.
They can spy on me anyway, they would soon get bored of porn, video games and football.
Go into apps
Find Google
Turn off microphone
Just in case the local Chinese are listening
I don't think I would get bored of thatQuote:

It gives them time to gather whatever they are looking for.
Porn is GCHQs most useful tool. Fact.
Surely that is not how surveillance works.Quote:

Waiting around until you watch porn because your attention is elsewhere (even though any snooping is done in the background without your knowledge)? Not quite so convinced.
Stop chatting shite :hehe:Quote:

I did so purely for mobile internet data to tether at home as speed achieved through the phone line is and always has been utter shite.
The next day I read a lengthy article which claimed the reason modern smartphones increasingly have a non-removable battery is because the only way to be sure spooks and hackers can't eavesdrop and the device isn't saving and transmitting location data is by removing the battery. Sure enough, the Umidigi came with a non-removable battery. Grr.
That is not the reason mobile phone manufacturers are all switching to built in batteries.Quote:

Apparently many of its main components are made in the USA so fun times ahead.
I'm guessing this will be over soon , as soon as the Trump calms himself, or wins his latest spat.
I'd like to know how you have suddenly become the world's expert on copyright.Quote:
