So malware magically ceases to be malware as soon as it’s preinstalled by the vendor?
It wasn't malware to start it. > computer software that is designed to damage the way a computer works https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/malware
Also your definition doesn't capture spyware.

You underestimate the cognitive ability of the masses. 10/10 of people I know buy for the brand.
Well that's exactly my point. They're entire marketing & product strategy seems to be to convince people their stuff has the same reputation / quality as Apple.
A shamefully ignorant article that--like many of the comments here--utterly misses the technical value of HarmonyOS, which I was able to glean in 5 minutes from looking at the official documentation. Check out the architecture diagram on this page: https://developer.harmonyos.com/en/docs/documentation/doc-gu... HarmonyOS is evidently not a peer competitor with Android or iOS, but a further abstraction layer above the…
Fascinating to see how much is 'inspired' by Apple's design and Microsoft's for the document app. I'd feel dirty in so blatantly copying someone else's design, but Huawei doesn't share those concerns. Maybe for good reason.
The problem is that, in general, when a company doesn't respect intellectual property laws or obviously makes use of industrial espionage (and I'm not suggesting either is true for Huawei) they are sending a clear signal that laws do not apply to them. So as a customer why would I trust any company with my most personal health, banking or own intellectual property if that company sees no reasonable limitations to its…
Thanks for this insight

IP law favours incumbents. Ignoring IP law has been the fastest way to secure Chinese prosperity, and that is what they did. It makes sense and it doesn't tell us how a Chinese company will treat their customers. Note that despite the argument that IP law promotes invention and creativity Huawei is a world leading tech innovator in 4G. Despite obviously having little respect for IP law. They'll probably discover the…
> IP law favours incumbents. Yes, that is the whole point. IP gives an inventor a reward in the form of limited or no competition for a period of time. > it doesn't tell us how a Chinese company will treat their customers. This is like saying your wearing the wrong running shoes to swim five miles.
It is easy to see how a company could believe that and also believe in treating their customers well. It would be a very competitive company.
> This is like saying your wearing the wrong running shoes to swim five miles.
I don't follow your point but I agree would be foolish to wear running shoes while swimming.
This thread is full of suspiciously pro huawei and pro china comments and a lot of legitimate concerns are being downvoted. I've never seen so many grey comments
Try saying anything against China on this platform and you risk getting flagged and downvoted. I've experienced that already.

Ok, well now I can't do most of the stuff I was doing on GNU/Linux without doing it on a machine that someone else is hosting. So that's still a step backward.

Is that an admission that it makes sense?

If you read the article Ars Technica points out the direct lies Huawei is telling: "no single line of code is identical to that of Android," and in the linked original piece of reporting, "is completely different from Android and iOS." Huawei's top brass doesn't appear to value truthfully disclosing either the provenance of its software or what it actually is so why should I bother with it?
