Please quote your sources or retract.

Not saying you are wrong, just ask if you make a claim you link to your evidence. You see if i don’t live each second of existence assuming someone is wrong, I risk being wrong myself about most things.

Also the amount of effort being skeptical has to be proportional to the importance. If you said you had a cat, I’d simply believe it, as you having a cat is not important to me. If you said you had a black cat, I’d assume it true as also not important. If you said you had a cat which could sign the USA national anthem I’d assume it false but you can easily allay my skepticism with delivering said cat.

Show me my claim. It was a question, and that is why it had a question mark at the end.

#23

That is a basis of knowledge so quote your source.

If you simply made it up, then say so. I ask as we live in an era where people want more opinions than they have time to make valid ones.

:roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes:. If I added the amount of emojis I need to express myself, it would be considered spam.

I’ve heard people talk about it (one person in particular). I’m not sure if it’s true, so I asked you.

My two Huawei devices have received the monthly Android security updates faster than my Lenovo, LG, OnePlus devices.

I am aware that Huawei has claims related to security about them but I have never seen any proof. I have to hold a hand up to halt rumours being allowed to go unchallenged as we live in a time when someone is able to say something false and pass it along and then something not true becomes accepted.

No proof about security problems, is proof enough for me that Huawei is on the up and up.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Ad infinitum.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Neither is the inverse true.

However, @professor would be correct to argue that, as of right now, its not clear that apple, google, amazon, or anyone else has more respect for your privacy than Huawei.

I assume that companies are on the up and up, unless there is explicit proof (or at least some sort of evidence) that they are mischievous.

So In this case, absence of evidence is evidence in and of itself

Why assume anything? What advantages does it afford you to assume?

The device in your hand now, it is vulnerable to:

  • malware from software you installed
  • the local network, devices compromised
  • the internet
  • the OS
  • device drivers
  • chipsets

No specific brand is either safe or unsafe without evidence.

Given you cannot be sure, best to not have an opinion. Neither is it doing good for anyone to share hearsay.

What you can do is judge:

  • price
  • performance
  • quality of customer support
  • timeliness to respond to issues.

@TechMan

What if I told you evidence of absence might in fact be evidence of presence?

While we both know that the thread is about technology, with my dying breath I cannot let go unchallenged your flawed logic.

You are stating that something is true til proved otherwise. Really really bad proposition.

I am willing to accept a claim of something unimportant, as life is too short to doubt everything, but you made a claim, based on hearsay, that a major brand is insecure. When I challenged you to back it or withdraw you just waffled.

I suggest that something is not true til it is proved to be true, or its not important enough to care. You can live an entire life on that basis and be incorrect rarely.

#34

I refuse to argue as we both have completely different outlooks on life.

#35

Nothing to do with life. To do with how you get to knowledge through facts. By all means have opinions but in a shared reality we have to share facts.

Something is not true til it is either proved or not important enough to care.

Well which is it?

It is very important that you doubt everything.

The specific point you doubt, is typically not important.

The more impact of a conclusion, the more important you check your facts.

e.g.

  • a cat exists, is not worthy of fact checking, as we in general seen enough cats to believe it
  • a black cat exists, is also not worthy of fact checking
  • a black cat exists which can sing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody should be assumed false til evidence delivered.

“Might” was the operative word in that post. :wink:
