Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than bluetooth competitor. The us won't benefit from it for now (newatlas.com)

Compared to bluetooth :

  • 60% lower power consumption
  • Six times higher data transmission speed
  • 1/30th the latency
  • 7 dB improvement anti-interference for a more stable connection
  • Twice the coverage distance, and
  • 10 times more network connections

Notice it's not talking of compression yet, but raw connection performance.

Due to the US Huawei ban, the tech won't arrive to the US yet. Nor maybe ever until something is done.

At least with some American corp. there's a chance it's not under the control of some government agency with free reign to abuse the data they're collecting.

The opposite is true.

With some US-American corp. it's guaranteed that it's under the control of all kinds of agencies with free reign to abuse everything.

How is there a chance with Patriot Act and Cloud Act? Collective weed smocking needs to stop friend

Have you actually read those acts? They don't let American government agencies just browse corporate data willy-nilly. There are plenty of checks on it.

I don't know what you mean by "collective weed smoking".
