Have a look at the Xiaomi 18 fold. It’s an interesting size and much more compact than the previous versions.
For me personally, I have not used any AI product or service and trying my utmost to avoid any product or service where ‘AI’ scans my data. I use donotspy on my windows to stop all the shit that now comes with Microsoft as unfortunately my work requires a windows platform, Firefox because I can disable all that AI shit and have my extensions up and running.
It is nothing more than an advanced version of ‘if… then… else’ except it gets it wrong 48% of the time.
Today I had to find a new email client because EMclient also decided to add slop to their app.
As much as I appreciate the warning about uploading any file to any AI client, never in my fucking life.
That blows. I was genuinely looking into proton after the news that Google will use their shitty AI to scan Gmail. Fuck that.
Like is nothing private anymore? Soon in Europe all your chats will be monitored, email monitored, ID verification, age verification.
Fuck this new internet.
China phone manufacturers like Xiaomi, OPPO, Huawei already have 5th or 6th Gen folds and they are awesome. Many people here use folds. The build quality is outstanding.
Plus the software is actually designed to use either the full screen or split screen. What Apple have done is a joke. The few people that bought the Apple fold, are returning it because the software is useless.
Good thing that you can’t buy the reasonably priced Chinese EV’s in the US, like in the rest of the world, or the mobile phones, or the network gear. All banned by the US.
It is best you buy only American and see how far you get, especially in innovation.
Why do you think the US government is removing all options for competition in any field?
Look at ASML and Nexperia. The Dutch government bend over and take it all the time. That happens when politicians have no spine and follow the lead of that cunt Mark Rutte. The one who called Trump ‘Daddy’.
Think about the poor oil barons.
The rest of the world doesn’t give a flying fuck about what anyone calls anything in the US anymore. You lost.
So ironic after bending over time and time again for the US. Think ASML, think Nexperia. Fuck Rutte and Jette - mini Rutte wannabe.
Pretty sure Europe’s GDPR has something to say about that.
_Speaking in New York, Mr Albanese said the OpenAI agent gained unauthorised access to the Medicare statistics reporting service portal administered by Services Australia on June 18.
The AI agent accessed both public and non-public files, but Mr Albanese said it did not appear anyone’s personal Medicare details were accessed.
Mr Albanese said he had a “frank” discussion with OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman, saying the company took three months to notify the government of the breach and, when it did, the notification was in an email sent to the Services Australia public inbox._
I’m a car nut so yes I’m very aware and knowledgeable. However Lexus is Toyota which is a well established brand for many decades before they branched out. The same with Infinity.
Xiaomi is just starting out making cars for 3 years now, only have 2 models, and should work on their own brand first, before creating a new brand. The market in China in EV’s is already extremely competitive. So introducing another brand, just is complicated for the consumer. Xiaomi is such an established brand here, keep it under that banner.
And the Skynomad is nothing special or high end luxury. That was my point. Build your brand first and in due time, create the spinoff if needed. Now in China, everything is accelerated but still.
Xiaomi first car is an amazing sport sedan: SU7. Followed by my personal favorite, the YU7. Actually the SU7 has been the best selling car in China for a few months.
The Skynomad, this new SUV, strangely is not marketed as Xiaomi but purely as Skynomad. They have separate stores, whereas the SU7 and YU7 are in the normal Xiaomi stores, between the phones fridges and laptops. Definitely a different target audience so that could be the strategy. It doesn’t have a Xiaomi badge either.
The same goes for Huawei, who have a whole suit of different models and types of cars. The most insane one, from innovation perspective, is the Maestro, a competitor for Rolls-Royce.
Such bullshit. You’re buying into exactly what the American propaganda bubble wants you to believe. The US is now pretty much the only country in the world banning Chinese EV’s.
It has been proven that there is no distributed spy network. Unlike the ability to disable features in the F35 which is why most European countries are moving away from any American tech. Talk about spyware.
But please keep buying outdated American combustion cars with no innovation. Or Teslas that don’t even pass the basic safety tests in Europe and can’t be sold anywhere outside the US. I’m loving my Xiaomi SU7, just like Ford CEO who refuses to give it up.
Another something orange.

Good thing I never have, not ever will have any iPhone or Apple product. Personally I hate this walled garden concept.
Never anything good comes out of a ‘walled garden’ historically.
