The same Lenovo that got caught using rootkits to keep their software installed on PCs? https://www.zdnet.com/article/lenovo-rootkit-ensured-its-software-could-not-be-deleted/
that was in 2015 though
like 10-11 years ago (as of march 2nd 2026)
I still haven't forgiven Sony for shipping malware in their CDs, Lenovo will never get approval from me.
Are there any companies left that haven't done some shady shit in the past?
A few small ones.
you mean like Sony shipped DRM?
Yes and when sued they provided a removal tool that put a new malware on pcs.
Ohh I see.
But thank God DRM is no longer kernel level.
Oh shit I forgot about that, we're old :|
