Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than Bluetooth competitor - eviltoast

Compared to Bluetooth:

  • 60% lower power consumption
  • Six times higher data transmission speed
  • 1/30th the latency
  • 7 dB improvement anti-interference for a more stable connection
  • Twice the coverage distance, and
  • 10 times more network connections

US won’t benefit from this tech due to the US Huawei ban.

    Why is that weird? Western governments are generally bound by constitutional agreements to not utilize that information against their citizens. That’s not to say they don’t do shady stuff with that information, but getting “disappeared” is more the butt of a Hillary Clinton joke than it is an actual reality for Western citizens … unless you’ve really REALLY pissed off Hillary Clinton.

      You should really read up on the revelations that we have from Snowden if you believe all that. Meanwhile, you should let people like Manning and Assange know about not having to worry that you’ll be disappeared and tortured if you say something your regime doesn’t like.

        Ahh, yes, because they pissed off the Deep State, which is ultimately controlled by Hillary Clinton. Sorry, forgot about that one.

        /s … if it wasn’t obvious

                Right. Okay, I’ll do your homework for you…

                You’re claiming that a handful of people pointed out some things Western governments were doing that were illegal according to said governments’ legal governing documents, but because of the way they did it, those governments (and citizens) are pissed off at them.

                I’m saying the systematic oppression of the free press, human rights, and the decades-long genocide of Tibetans and Uyghurs are perfectly legal according to the PRC.

                These aren’t even comparable. Keep trying.

                  Buddy, your country has an entire torture camp in Guantanamo on the land your regime annexed from Cuba where you disappear people in a middle of the night without any due process. Your country passed laws like the Patriot Act that allow the government to disappear citizens.

                  Meanwhile, this is what China liberated Tibet from, and your Uyghur conspiracy theory has been thoroughly debunked many times.

                  You’re right, these aren’t even remotely comparable. Keep trying.

                    That history article you linked goes as far as the 1950s.

                    Who’s debunked it? The CCP? Are they still sticking to the “reeducation centers” line? Have you been “reeducated”?

                    There are some perverse arguments that let Gitmo exist. It’s a heated debate around whether the US Constitution extends to non-citizens. As usual, Wikipedia has a fantastic summary.

                    … which is a debate that can occur in a diverse nation with a free press. Do you feel threatened because you’re arguing against Western Democracy on the Internet, a product of that same Western “regime”?

                    Didn’t think so.
