Thank goodness I don’t have any shares in that company. LOL
Crossing Lenovo off of my prospective list of laptops for the next few years, if not forever.
D icks....
I was wonder why I was getting so many advertisements about foreign brides and hot dates ... oh wait ... never mind. ;-)
Lenovo is a Chinese Company, I like their hardware, but won’t buy from them for this reason.
“Lenovo is a Chinese Company, I like their hardware, but won’t buy from them for this reason.”
Unbelievably, NASA recently started putting Lenovo Desktops on every desk at NASA. I couldn’t believe it. After a PC that OUT Of THE BOX tried to upload data to China, MSFC stopped deploying them.
Yeah and I bet the only thing they are sorry about is that they were unable to hide it well enough. Me thinks that is the big mistake they are bemoaning about.
Destroying their investment, I am sure they are sorry
Guess what computer I will never buy?
Ok, now that we know that superfish exists, how do I find out if it’s in my laptop? I’m presently using a Lenovo T60
I have one setting on my desk, running the Windows 7 it came with. Malwarebytes and the free Trend Micro scan have never shown any problems.
I should be getting a free upgrade to Windows 10 soon. I don’t see a need to re-install an OS until then.
More to the story than meets the eye?
At any rate I am still glad I never invested in the company. Also glad I don't won one of their computers.
Is Superfish made by a Chinese company?
FWIW, I’ve hated Lenovo’s products anyway.
It will be SOP soon on everything. Xbox already has facial recognition software and will acknowledge anyone who has been entered into the machine when the walk into the room.
On the one hand I can see it as an excellent anti-theft system for smartphones and laptops and such. But I guess I am too old-fashioned because it creeps me out when I think of it, and visions of "Open the pod bay door Hal" I'm Sorry Dave, I cant' do that" AND the NSA using such as the ultimate Big Brother app.
Have you experienced the stated behavior? If you google pics of patio furniture, do ads for patio furniture start showing up?
Correction: Should say, Also glad I don’t OWN one, LOL
