@fsf And this is why I pretty much always disable secure boot.

@fsf :ablobcatknitsweats:

@fsf Their hardware is complete crap too. Hard pass on ever buying something from them again.

@fsf this would have been mitigated by just disabling SecureBoot, right?

i have no reason to keep it on and it's the first setting i change whenever i get a computer

@fsf You forgot to say "by default". https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/Enable_Secure_Boot_for_Linux_Secured-core_PCs.pdf

@fsf What's with the link to what to be a poor quality bot-written/stolen article?

@fsf I'm perturbed by windows in its entirety. It's malware. It also seems to me that they want to push people to eventually reside completely on some kind of cloud architecture. Maybe they'll call it skynet.

@fsf No surprise. A few years ago, Lenovo shipped computers with intentionally installed spyware, called Superfish. https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2015/02/19/superfish-need-to-know/

@fsf Guess I'm done with Lenovos. Guess I'll try System76's laptop next.

@fsf @vfrmedia There is some interesting stuff in this article but it’s very poorly written and chock full of ads. Is there a more reliable source?

@fsf
Fuck Lenovo, then.

I guess they want to be the next controllfreak company like apple.
