While controlling the FCC this would be yet another conflict of interest.

Those are the only interests he has.

Show me a camera with a longer life.

NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz · 15 pts · 1y

I'd rather have a long life camera than AI face unlock.

I'm kinda looking forward to finding out which Chinese OEM is building this thing and how they will be contorting the definition of Made in USA to apply it here.

hexonxonx@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y

They'll declare the Chinese factory part of the US Embassy.

MADE IN THE USA

My goodness, they’ve found a way to open chip foundries, screen factories, and mass machining factories all within 150 days! Who needs democracy or due process or science policy when you have results like that?!

Press X to doubt.

"Made in the USA" only applies to the sticker that says "Made in the USA".

Wait, this actually runs Linux? This isn't how I imagined mass adoption to go lmfao

Had to take a look at it and... nope. It seems clearOS is a linux (or you know gnu plus linux) distro, but clearOS mobile is android.

ckmnstr@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y

What even is this. It's like a Foss OS & Store but all proprietary? More like unfreephone

With free Russian malware preinstalled

shinxir@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 1y

Correction: Chinese malware.

Russia does not need to gather such intelligence when they can simply phone Trump to get the news.

There's something ironic about the Trump Mobile site having a GDPR cookie notice.

The AI face unlock can determine residency status and the GPS will ping your location every 5 seconds to DHS and ICE if you don't have legal residency or citizenship.

You know what's fucked? How much we really do need a public utility option for cell phones (and Internet). But this ain't it, fam. Oof

Perfect surveillance device to keep track of all the proles and listen in everywhere.

What are the odds that this phone filters media for its end users?

Would be nice if the law would be enforced on these fucks who continue committing crimes without consequence.
