FYI Lenovo options are very cheap in the MENA region, so it's flooded there cause we are very price-sensitive people
(I'm starting to be white a bit... did I just say price-sensitive) -

My apologies for resurrecting a long dead thread, but I just collected the links today because I've had multiple places I wanted to reference them this week.

Glad to be of service... not.
Look at it this way, you at least won't have to talk about this in front of the company meeting next week.

Knowledge of Lenovo's misdeeds is STILL unknown to most people. So I'm going to have to bring it up in the next all-hands meeting here

it will always be that way - because most people - including most business owners - hell likely even most IT - don't know don't care.

Not exactly unknown. Mostly ignored. Not quite the same. People hear about it and instantly say (to themselves), "I don't care about this, it doesn't affect me" and chose to move on and not internalize what the risks of Lenovo mean to them in a meaningful way.

You have to know to not care. It's willful in most business owners. A desire to ignore info that is available and to avoid being informed by IT.

In this case, we are supposed to be acting as IT for our clients. Yet the people ordering equipment keep ordering Lenovo..... Latest one is for a PD

Well, how are the able to order if you are "supposed" to be IT? Clearly there is a conflict of thought as to who is "supposed" to be making the decisions. If no one has stepped in to rectify the situation, the safe assumption is that whoever is able to make the decisions is IT and you are shadow IT. Otherwise, they'd not be able to do that.

Actually went quite well. Management wants to start having conversations with clients about replacing every Lenovo.

Sure - because that means more billable hours....

I'd like to see recent references; everything I have found hasn't been updated / linked to since 2019 about the 2014-2015 incident.

Why should anyone keep reporting no news?

Exactly - There's nothing newer because they haven't been caught doing any dirty shit in the past 2-3 years. But at the same time - the same management is in charge, so why would we expect them to do things right?

I just confirmed Superfish is still around because of that laptop from last week that got sent back!
