it seemed to work for apple. they don't even allow nsfw apps or games
Is this true?????
I think it’s true for dedicated pornography apps but there’s an 18+ rating option that developers can set. So, like a social media app that allows nudity is allowed in the App Store. (I think the NSFW filter has to be on by default.)
“THE NUDITY IS FUN UNTIL YOU WAKE UP AND REALISE YOU’RE OVERWEIGHT”
Big Brother/subliminal message issues aside, this is pretty funny.
Oh, I laughed out loud. I immediately thought of the messages in the game Only Up.
I know right? Having an anti-porn filter is already weird but having one that actively insults the user is amazing
I wonder if this is a common sentiment in China?
Promiscuity is a big topic in Chinese insults. And I've seen some crazy propaganda messages. But unfortunately the cause of the message was not so fantastic. I've updated the post with more details.
This is a bit victim blamey but why the heck would you buy a Huawei device outside of China? Have to assume you can’t be familiar with the many criticisms…
I felt bad thinking the same thing but JESUS PEOPLE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. There are other great low-budget Android phones out there. WHAT ARE YOU DOING buying a Huawei?
-
Everything is made in China.
-
Affordability, there's a reason I'm using a 5 year old sub AU$500 smartphone.
3 Suitability. It works well, has all the functionality I need.
-
Strong consumer protections and tech watchdogs in Australia generally have our backs with electronics.
-
China adjacent 5 eyes country under the yoke of the US military industrial complex; my data is balls deep in a dozen intelligence agencies anyway.
Downsides: No tap pay.
-
"Made in China" and "Made by China" are different.
-
Used phones are good and cheap. Profit because other people are greedy.
-
Most phones "work well". That's not a reason to choose a bad phone.
-
The consumer protections are the same for all phones. That's not a difference between different companies.
-
This is just you saying you don't care about these privacy issues. But you made this post???
You're confused about what you want and think Huawei is a good deal. You are being unnecessarily cheap.
- I hate when people say this. Very untrue. Samsung makes the vast majority of their phones in Vietnam, for example. It's pretty damn easy to find one not Made in China if you do 5 seconds of searching.
My phone is made in Vietnam.
My wife, too. If you don't mind me asking, what manufacturer?
Libertarian guys with asian wives moment
It's a Samsung Galaxy S8. I don't know how to find out who the actual manufacturer is.
We have a Samsung plant in Thai Nguyen in the north. Very cool, I didn't know they'd been putting phones out for that long.
At least in the US I bought a pretty nice 18 month old Motorola without a bunch of crap on jt for $150.
Motorola Mobility LLC, marketed as Motorola, is an American consumer electronics manufacturer primarily producing smartphones and other mobile devices running Android. Headquartered at Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Illinois, it is a subsidiary of the Chinese multinational technology company Lenovo.
Before it got sanctioned a few years ago, Huawei actually made the best phone in the budget class. The camera was way ahead of other budget phones. There are also many random thing which might not sound significant, but actually pretty impressive when you think about it, especially when compared to their competition. For example, you can even plug a PS3 controller using a USB OTG dongle and the phone recognize it as an input device without needing to root your phone. I was really impressed by their budget line back then.
Not only victim blaming, but how is it in any way germane to the discussion at hand?
Fair but it’s also easily avoided by buying literally any other manufacturer who doesn’t pull shit like this
How about Lenovo laptops? I'm looking and they seem to be the only good one (budget gaming laptop).
This is why I use custom ROMs, and buy only phones that are supported. Laptops also get wiped. There are too many OEMs that put garbage on your devices, or this crap.
That update, lol. I had no idea that was a thing that could happen.
Any pics?
I don't have another camera handy unless my housemates are home, and the message is intermittent. But working on it.
"Huawei anti-porn filter may be active ( on or in ) non-Chinese devices."
Auto-correct ate it when I typed non.
You can edit titles here.
Cool.
Twice, it seems.
I don't see the subliminal message in your example at all, where is it?
