Still rings true a little, their quality is far better than their competitors though. I've had a lot less issues with the functionality of lenovo laptops over the crap acer or asus or dell produce.
It kinda became muddled around the X1 Carbon when they decided that thin chasis = better, and then started cutting features
I had to do a battery replacement on the L480. They had top-notch support on what part number to order, video guide on how to properly disassemble the case, remove ribbon cables, etc etc etc. I wish all companies had that kind of support.
Lenovo makes consumer crap with their own brand and they have Think -line of products from the big blue and the latter is pretty much comparable to all the other big players (dell, hp, fujitsu…) on desktop/laptop market. Each have their own annoyances and fuckups and in general if you ask opinion from 3 IT professionals on which brand to buy you’ll get 4-6 answers.
Personally if I’m looking for a laptop I’ll go to pre-leased and refurbished thinkpad. I currently have T465 and for wife I got pretty decent Tsomething from the office for peanuts.
I bought out both a T430 and L480 because of their build quality and stability, and just got a little confused as to whether the opinion changed recently or if they merged divisions.
I was recently provisioned a Dell and… well, I’m not buying that one.
They had a Chinese back door in the firmware. Don’t know if that’s still the case. techworm.net/…/lenovo-pcs-and-laptops-seem-to-hav… They’ve had several major (intentional) security flaws over the years. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo They had a modified UEFI that allows insecure execution of EXEs. The Lenovo laptops given to US military in Iraq had keyloggers that sent all inputs back to China.
Maybe, but it’s also not hard to imagine them seeing that there were reptiles of multiple sizes and they got bigger and bigger (maybe even crocodiles via trade or just native).
“This, but huge” is a pretty easy path to folktales.
I think none of them are actually insane. They all know they are attempting a scam and hoping it works. The reason is that absolutely none of them would take a remittance coupon if they were selling something.
I’ve long accepted my furry nature. I blame the artists. There are incredibly talented furry artists. I mean what do you want me to do? Not look at great art? I don’t thinks so buddy
