see it when you have the time. This OS is direct threat to US software dominance. You can bet the CCP will be pushing this OS and the Huawei hardware over the world. It is a complete walled garden eco-system, same as Apple
If China has it, why would I want it...necessarily? Seems a little obvious to me.
I wouldn’t go that far. Something like this is seen as poison to any external market. You can be assured this has everything the CCP has required of it, including encryption backdoors and monitoring features for everything the user does.
Anyone else would be crazy to use it. If anything, let them do this, I’ve no issue. They’ll soon find that actually trying to advance technology themselves, instead of steal/copy+1, is more resource intensive than they realize. The depth of features that OS’s like iOS and Windows handle isn’t something that can be easily replicated without the source code (ok, maybe they stole that too!). I’d also argue this isn’t something global device makers are eager to support, so writing device drivers to support this OS might be a challenge - which would be a constant drag on supporting the latest technologies.
It’s also “security through obscurity”, not transparency, like Linux. I’d argue that it’s ripe for being vulnerable, an entire OS that has not endured decades of attacks from around the globe. I’d bet there’s folks in Mossad & CIA that are drooling over the possibilities.
IMHO - this is more of a threat to Microsoft, as it’s the go-to corporate OS. Why they didn’t start with the Linux kernel is just bizarre. It’s a proven, scalable, hardened, real-time capable, OS with thousands of device drivers. Does this OS scale across multi-core? The data-center? Maybe - but the world wouldn’t touch this with a 10’ pole.
