i guess it's time for tech news um oh right the tech link shirt um
okay yeah it's never been washed
not even once a huawei testing lab has been raided by
the fbi seeking answers as to whether they tried to reverse engineer another
company's product yes oh wow a gasp last year huawei
expressed interest in a new scratch-proof diamond glass screen in
development by another company called a con semiconductor and they asked for a
sample to evaluate it but two months after akan sent huawei a sample of their
screen they hadn't gotten it back like they were promised huawei finally sent
the sample back five months after they got it
and it was damaged and broken into multiple pieces sounds like a con to me
ooh that would make sense if it was the other company it'll we can do it akan
was concerned that huawei was trying to reverse engineer their tech so they made
a complaint with the us government the fbi then reached out to ocon and
outfitted the company's ceo with a wire as he met with huawei executives at ces
2019 in las vegas we were there this was
happening right under our noses ocon didn't get the answers they sought but
the meeting was apparently evidence enough for a judge to approve an fbi
raid on huawei's san diego testing lab where the screen sample was supposedly
sent the fbi hasn't released any info or charges against huawei yet but akan has
released a statement saying they believe huawei shipped the product overseas
without authorization and damaged it in an attempt to steal their technology
this is straight up out of like a spy movie
yeah where tom you're around where did you do this
countries are trying to ban huawei right now for security issues with the chinese
government and everything but now we have to worry about them cracking our
screens too come on huawei
not our screens now microsoft on the other hand has a
different kind of dream they apparently want to spread the love and joy that is
