Remember when Lenovo pre-installed spyware on every laptop for years? Dell did the same thing. These “tech” companies are actively detrimental to technology as a concept.
To Dell, Lenovo, HP, any sign of technological progress is taken as an opportunity to cheat and steal.
Lets not forget that in doing so, a self-signed root HTTPS cert was put into the windows store creating a man in the middle for ALL https connections.
When a user visits a web site, the software intercepted the connection, created a fake cert on the fly for that domain and signed itself with a private key.
WORSE! The private key was the same across ALL laptops and extracting the keys were trivial, so an attacker could own them all.
