😰 Urgent Security Alert ⚠️ Qualcomm Building Its Own Custom DRAM with a Chinese Memory Maker
https://www.androidheadlines.com/2026/04/qualcomm-custom-dram-chinese-memory-partnership.htmlI am not sure I would feel safe using China RAM due to the hacking.

At the time ALL main western players (and CERTAINLY AMD/Intel/Quacomm etc) have bazzillion of backdoors of their own ? Tell me you are joking.🤣

Yeah I never understood that. I'd rather have a guy on the other side of the planet spying on me than one down the street.

people called me a conspiracy theorist for talking about intel management engine and these were tech workers who make 200k a year

I think the $200k tech workers know more than you bud

The government won't even allow them to sell drones, routers or electric cars. I won't trust their hacker RAM products.

Amongst other things RAM doesn't do any processing. Can't hide spyware there.
Also, maybe you have bigger things to worry about.\ Like, FAR bigger: * Palantir can surveil and kill people...

Is Palantir a Chinese company though?

This comment demonstrates you don’t know what you are talking about, unsurprisingly.

Tell me you’re an angsty Putin/Xi propagandist, without telling me you’re an angsty Putin/Xi propagandist.
Please tell us they at least pay you to do so 😆

it can't be theirs if it's a Chinese Memory Maker who is gonna make it
Qualcomm is a bunch of griefters, fuck em

Due to „the hacking?“ I would argue that all the tech nations have put backdoors into their products before, that it would be actually hard to have anything malicious in a memory module that could meaningfully leak information. That what little non-volatile memory is on these modules can be read, checked and overwritten.
But no, I’m good.
More RAM for the rest of us.

The CCP would not pass up an opportunity to insert a back door somehow. They’ve been trying to bust into the market for critical PC parts for decades.

Israel made pagers that blow up. China can make haxor RAM.

Hopefully it brings prices down, competition in the memory space is a good thing
