Comment on Lenovo PC boss: 4 in 5 of our devices will be repairable by 2025
pimento64@sopuli.xyz 1 year agoI take it you don’t remember the SuperFish scandal? Lenovo just settled the class action lawsuits not too long ago. I don’t blame anyone for not trusting Lenovo after they sold PCs with built-in spyware that ran MITM attacks using self-signed certificates and hijacked their SSL/TLS connections. You really don’t need a study for something that Lenovo admitting to doing.

I don’t remember the superfish scandal, had never heard of it actually. Thank you telling me about it though, I was a child when this was a thing. Looks like it came out in 2015 and settled in 2017. That is not recent. Though, I can understand the aggression you’re giving me seeing as how you’re being downvoted for something which may be a legitimate concern. I’m sorry for that, and would like to confirm I’ve not been participating. My thanks was honest. Though, I cannot see the link to it being a “chinease spyware” situation. Would you be able to provide links for that one? I see superfish is and was headquartered in california. What makes it chinease?
For the lazy, here’s some excerpts from a PCWORLD article:
Wow, maybe that one shouldn’t be limited to 20 years. Maybe that one shouldn’t be limited to lenovo, huh
I assume for the better right guys? right?
That ones fun

My dude, that was 8 years ago. I am 23. There are people younger than you. In high school I was not interested in pc companies, let alone privacy. This has since changed.
I was 15 when the news broke. I liked playing video games and dnd.
You are a very strange man to think me thanking this person for sharing their knowlage and changing my opinion accordingly is trolling.
