No Intel, no Qualcomm: Huawei unveils its first '100% domestic' desktop

This seems significant.

That’s a pretty big deal if that 100% is genuinely deep/all the way. Don’t think any other country can do end to end in house?

This will make some people very angry because, according to them, you are supposed to close up shop, not build internal capacity and capabilities, when America sanctions you.

Interesting, with a tagline like '100% domestic' I would have expected this to be RISC-V based but it's actually ARM.

Huawei has a 'good news' drop ready for every time the rest of tech has a bad day. At this point it is quite evident that the US/euro moves against Huawei/China were badly miscalculated, and have only served to focus and motivate them, and it's the reality of bieng cut off from imported tech that is actualy very good for there R and D , marketing, financial management, investment, manufacturing,government planning and regulation, gone is the need to juggle importing the 'latest' tech,with domestic production, and now nobody can say diddly boo about them bieng protectionist, ever again. Worse, a look at what Chinas imports before the tech ban were will almost certainly be an exact match for the margin that big tech needed to stay afloat this week. Extra worse, everybody, even microsoft and apple hard cores are going to wonder if the Huawei desktop is actualy just simple and nice to use, but we wont know because we , yes, us, have FREEDOM FROM CHOICE™®© we are living in a cartoon distopian apocalyps as drawn by the worst petulant office dweeb who is doing WAY to much acid on the weekends

So not really 100% domestic since it runs on ARM and is built using C, C++, Rust and JavaScript but they are close. I prefer something more open like Linux or more integrated like macOS, but fun for them.
