anyway what's the deal with xiaomi phones? are they made off Uighur slave labour using chinese back alley dumpster components? are they subsidized by the CPP to spy on us? how are they so fucking cheap?

[email protected] im sure the components are like most phones produced in china. The software spying can't be much worse than the one from google or even apple.
i would say that it's more that all other phones are just overpriced (1k apple and samsung phones :kekw: )

@smugumin@poa.st pretty much, yeah... at least the subsidizing and spying part, dunno about the Uyghur, but it's a well known fact that pretty much all of chinese labor is slave labor.

@smugumin@poa.st they make money through their skin and their apps. They set a 5% margin for profit on each phone sold. They don't forbid people from modding their phones because that'd make them lose popularity, most likely
