  • The shitty aspect is their actually not bad hardware. They last forever and seem to be held in high regards in the tech community but it's as if people forgot a decade later than their still owned by Chinese. Still banned for security reasons for military use even currently after 20 years. Now the military still supplies them just not for mission critical purposes but for personal devices not govt use.

    Wild. Every tech person at some point shills for Lenovo and they do have great things. Just screams Trojan horse to me still. IMO

  • Why not use drip or mensinator? Both FOSS.

  • Isnt lenovo the company that used to make the rugged military laptops that actually had Chinese or foreign backdoors installed?

    Edit: for those interested https://www.investigativeeconomics.org/p/government-still-buying-lenovo-laptops

    Edit 2 from a quick search. Lenovo laptops have faced allegations of containing backdoor vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access to data, particularly concerning military use. These concerns have led to bans on Lenovo products by various intelligence agencies due to potential cybersecurity risks.

    Lenovo Laptops and Backdoor Concerns

    Background on Lenovo's Security Issues

    Lenovo, a Chinese technology company, has faced multiple allegations regarding security vulnerabilities in its laptops. These concerns primarily revolve around potential backdoors that could allow unauthorized access to sensitive data.

    Notable Incidents

    Year Incident Description 2008 U.S. military investigators reported finding backdoored chips in Lenovo motherboards, which allegedly logged keystrokes and transmitted data.

    2013Intelligence agencies in the U.S., UK, and Australia banned Lenovo PCs due to backdoor vulnerabilities discovered during testing.

    2015The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charged Lenovo for pre-installing adware that created security vulnerabilities, leading to a settlement.

    2016The Pentagon warned that Lenovo computers could introduce compromised hardware into the Defense Department.

  • This. Plus offline games. All the online micro transaction bullshit is pathetic.

  • Doing the lords work! 🫶

  • Internal temp is 120 not 165 so you ate it partially cooked?

  • Not all . ml people are crazy cases. Its not guilty by association. I joined ML early in its life with the Reddit exodus because it was the developer instance and I thought this would have more programming and tech people on this instance.

  • Jack black saxophone 🎷 solo 😭😂

  • That's a lot of donations!

  • What's the amount they get donated or funded? So we know how much to raise yearly.

  • I think this accurate or close to it for phones but my laptop battery a Dell has degraded very quickly through 50 plus or more cycles of battery like 15 percent. It went from 59wh down to 50wh and it ebbs and flows. Runs Linux mint and installed power top and some other low power mods to help dumb things down to conserve. I feel like arm processors vs x86 are wildly different.

  • Its hard. I have highly sensitive. Cooking on separate equipment and dishes. Disposable dishes at times. It's even harder than my room mates and family do not understand even though they see how much I've been in the hospital and suffered immensely. There's certainly more food options that years ago but that's about the only good win. Most people just think your a nutcase the moment you tell them. They think your woke or something. Even doctors and hospital staff like nurses don't fully understand. It's very hard to navigate and a lot or most things are trial and error still.

  • Being gluten free is a nightmare because of the stigmatism from the gluten free movement and all of those idiots fadding. Sincerally a gluten allergy sufferer well not so much an allergy as much as a immune system disease.

  • Not necessarily. I mean sort of. Yeah. However there arent always buyers, especially who will pay total asking price and or close to it. Some situation call for much lower pricing. It's all about what the asset is and timing. It's more of a theoretical value more so than anything. He could leverage credit against the asset amount but it's dependent on a lot of factors.

  • The wolf just AWHOOOs. I am the wolf spirit.

  • I am totally on board this is my pre face.

    That is not cash though. That is accumulated paper assets. I know people with million dollar net worths on paper that are broke in reality. As in unable to pay their bills. Assets and liquidity are separate things.

    While I understand the point of rampant enshittification and capitalism, I thought that needs some clarity.

  • Perhaps if these high profile people use it, it must be worth using? Fuck those people but there has to be a legit reason you'd think.

  • Thanks for the link. Wild.

  • How do you know which models do and dont? Print tracking dots.
