  • Thank Christ they aren’t sold here in the states. Can you imagine a Chinese owned tech in your pocket or in a form of an app used by millions? Oh god even worse, a US owned app or device in your pocket or a device listening to you in your home… /s

    The least surprising thing about this news is that they announced they are in Afghanistan with decent enough service with all those mountain ranges. Why is this news?

    Sorry not be a cynical duck about this news, but we have zero day chip incidents from China, known spyware being masked as social media, doesn’t matter where it comes from most if not all spy on you. And most companies admit it


  • I moved to sf 7 years ago for work. Let me tell you. This isn’t that insane. Some of my coworkers would share a one bedroom with 5 + people to save money. They can afford the rent in South Bay or east bay. They just want to save enough to put 1m down on a house as soon as possible or they are sending money back overseas or they own a house somewhere else and commute on weekends. I have a feeling those paying for these are making less than 200k a year and don’t want to commute via Caltrain or BART and will shower at a gym. But I could be wrong

    For what it’s worth, Wife and I lived in a 2 bedroom literally on the beach for 4k a month and we did it so we weren’t miserable after work and our dogs could enjoy our lives when not working. We ended moving back to Colorado with a nice downpayment during Covid but still.

    This will do well cause the mentality of just having a place to sleep is enough. However! I hope this is used by others and not just tech workers.
