Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Damn, that comes with some pretty incredible implications about domestically made chips

Huawei already makes Linux phones using ARM chips so the groundwork is already laid.

which linux phones does huawei make?

For sure, I very much expect a lot of RISCV based designs on the market in the near future. This also opens up possibility for doing SoC style architecture like Apple M series. Moving away from the legacy x86 design creates a lot of possibilities for performance and power usage improvements.

NASA recently standardized on RISC-V for future space-based computers.. The idea is to have a standardized CPU that's radiation-hardened, has a minimal power draw when inactive, but has the computing power necessary to handle high-performance operations with reliability at critical times (course corrections, landing sequences, command-and-control of sensors when doing rapid flybys, etc). And they want to be able to use multiple CPU vendors without having to make hardware or software redesigns of their own.

That's pretty awesome.
