Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300

  Especially since calling a laptop “<some>book” is hardly a civilization-level achievement, hardly even an idea, it’s fashion and I approve of Chinese treating trademarks like this.

  I think trademarks and patents should die. We’d see a better world without them, and very quickly.

    Star Treks prime directive always stated two criteria - warp tech and calling non-stationary computing devices books. Having invented actual books with pages isn’t necessary.

  China has spent an eternity stealing IP and undermining security by steal top secret info through state sponsored hacking efforts.

  They’ve built a strong solid reputation of impeding on personal privacy and doing tons of shady shit at the expense of everyone else.

  People have every right to question this and be skeptical of what they are up to because they’ve shown over and over in the past that they cannot and shouldn’t be trusted with anything.

  However your mind immediately goes to xenophobia. What a fucking clown.

    So the Chinese state hacked western corporations (that prob have all production in Asia somewhere) to illegally obtain know-how on RISC tech? Or how to attach keyboard to the computer? Maybe how to call a laptop ‘book’?

    Imagine wanting free market “but not like that”, lul.
    Im just glad more actual competition is gaining root & we might finally move away from x86 & ARM.
