        Good. Pump that up. I want to be able to run my favorite open OS on open hardware.

          Worth noting that just because a CPU uses the RISC-V instruction set does not make it open hardware; it just makes it possible for it to be open hardware, but it’s still up to the copyright holder to release the source files and design as open source.

              That’s true, but open source software is generally written in high level, portable languages that can be compiled to multiple CPU architectures without changing the code, so proprietary software is really what would have any problems running, and even then, there are x86 emulators like Box86/64 and FEX out there and can even work transparently using systemd-binfmt.

                At the application level? Yes. At the OS / package level? It’s still a work in progress. And you need the latter to use the former.

              In a small way, yes, in that the software ecosystem built around it would work on future open hardware, but the hardware could absolutely still be fully, 100% proprietary.

    This reads like fake news. No publication date, no sources listed, very vague and self-contradictory on the details. How is no other news outlet corroborating this?

    I’d take this one with a huge grain of salt.

    That’s going to make things very difficult for them short-term. Medium-term too. Bets are still off on long-term.

    I can’t read the article for it opens some 1x1 gif at loading, but I suspect they’d only need to write a long form proof of why they need to use exactly that foreign brand for their work etc, and probably if they also have the leverage to do so (so many get filtered out, maybe). That’s how it works in Russia for plenty of years after we proclaimed we’d replace imported goods with something we don’t even produce lol.

    This must mean that they’re getting cheaper in the West now, right? Right?!

    Bro the trade wars are already poping off. Problem is China has already snapped up the whole global souths market. (minus Australia and New Zealand.) the US and the west don’t have enough industry to compete. My god the economic collapse is going to reshape the west. Hopefully what happens after is a far left economic and political system because the far right plan will be to turn the trade war into an actual war to reclaim profits.

    China is willing to let millions of it’s own people die to achieve its goals. The west doesn’t have enough blind dogmatic people in their militaries and governments to suppress civil unrest. We saw this in South Korea recently. The military just didn’t have the will to fire on their friends and families. So they just meekly followed orders until it was clear the conservative party wasn’t going to be able to maintain power. Hell half of South Korea slept through an attempted dictatorship and the ruling party still couldn’t hold power.
