the full name of xiaomi is xiaomi-cellphone (they swapped the rifle out of the idiom) so making cheap devices, initially, also made sense with their name and I guess they're hoping to lead a revolution in the devices market

I know that you live in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Like I said you live in a communist run country. Hong Kong is controlled/run by China.


Whats really sad about this thread is people are making fun of a company because of it's name like bunch of high school bullies.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
