Thanks for dumping ice water down my back.... We use Lenovo for every laptop and desktop.
It's basically the only thing Lenovo is known for.
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.

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!

Not sure what you mean?
Of course - if you didn't uninstall the software and didn't update to the newer driver that removed Superfish, then it will still be around - just like the millions of machines that never get updated and have Melissa still running around the internet (ok maybe not millions today).

This was a laptop manufactured April 2021 from the factory. So I really don't care if there are alternatives available. Lenovo has proven to lie about it so often already that it's to much of a risk, and legal liability.

I think that they've been caught. It's just so unimportant to American consumers if Chinese companies are spying on them that literally reporting it has no value.
