Playing some video games with the wife. Been a few months since we have had a chance to do that.

So anyone who purchased a Remix Mini, if you do the recent update it will remove all google apps and the Play Store. If you want the Play Store back, you have to side load it and then reinstall all of your apps. If you skip this update, you won't get any more updates.
Trying to debate whether I want to update or not.

You mean the auto scaling for the avatars? Yes it does. It does not say it anywhere, but I found after testing that you need a square image for best results.

They make good workstation computers.. Not sure why you assume the decision was made based on price.
Very few left in the mobile workstation market. Dell laptops suck anymore bad quality control. HP no longer has a good selection etc.

I mean, why lenovo with their antics as of the past year.
I would never consider a Lenovo product again because of they way they've acted.

And Dell, HP, ASUS and others have had their fair share too.. Don't use the OEM image and your fine.

Told a Buffalo LinkStation Duo to reset itself a few hours ago. That apparently also wipes the drives in some fashion. When I started, we had 1300 minutes (22 hours) to go.

I used to have a Terastation at home.. Yep reset doesn't just clear the config it wipes the drives I believe it does the 3 pass DOD short wipe, but I couldn't confirm.

The one issue they had would still load their drivers even if you image. It was loaded from the BIOS. However, I still have one I use as a Linux workstation.

It wasn't loaded via the BIOS, sure if you used the drivers from Lenovo for your image you still get it but not if go direct to Intel nvidia etc. plus Windows 8/10 does pretty good at downloading straight from the vendors on its own. If you're referring to LSE that wasn't any maililcous code, just auto installers and it can be disabled/removed

It used WPBT to load the drivers from the BIOS.
