Oh no. Really. Shocking.
I bet if you looked at other Chinese designed circuits, you'd find other unnecessary devices too.
Anything that has comm capabilities is automatically suspect.
Is that the possible issue what happened with Spain's blackout recently?
Nah, they just relied on flaky resources and those resources got flaky.
No one can be surprised
I find this headline believable, but if you dig the report is based from Reuters, who had 'anonymous sources'. The same anonymous sources that said Putin had a video of Trump getting peed on, I'm sure.
Everything is suspect, but I would not put it past the Chinese to do something like this. The only issue is actually getting data on to the cellular network without a registered SIM. Carriers are really asinine about letting non-paying devices use their networks.
