It hasn't been mentioned yet how Lenovo preinstalled malware on their machines in 2014-15. There isn't really anything that can redeem that sort of behaviour in my eyes. Also they've used Uyghur forced labour.

Shouldn’t have read the article, it’s gut wrenching. How can people be like that, without any empathy and emotional attachment? I understand that there are more brands involved, what I don’t understand is how no one really talks about the situation. It’s ugly.

FWIW, and this is a Thinkpad-specific Ask HN - the malware was never preinstalled to Thinkpads, only their budget/consumer line of laptops.
