That other comment is pretty mild. They're already trying to claim it wasn't a real flood, but was caused by cloud seeding to fake climate change, and saying the kids were murdered.
So not only does Lenovo hide executables in alternate data streams, that can be launched as if ran from within the Windows folder. It's writable by logged in users. And it was first discovered six years ago, and is still there.
On top of that, Lenovo is apparently not going to release any patches, they're just going to give out some "remediation guidance".
I live on the other side of the world from their HQ, and I can hear the lawyers screaming and paralegals furiously typing.
Some like it and some dislike it. A lot of it can be changed or turned off anyway, so most just pick what they like.
Then there are the RBG-phobes. They talk about it like it's the devils work and seemingly get upset if other people have it in the privacy of their own home.
One of the big reasons many people are "okay" with making fun of him. Is that he could basically make it all go away if he just admitted he was wrong.
The whole thing stems from him being so full of himself that he cannot admit any fault, ever. He has been objectively proven wrong many times on several different topics, there are a lot of situations that heavily indicate misconduct, etc. And he literally went on a stream with a licensed psychiatrist who tried to explain some of his faults. To which he laughed and said "Okay, don't see it that way, but alright".
At the end of the day, he seems almost incapable of admitting that he ever did or said anything wrong. So people keep making fun of him, since he's objectively proven wrong repeatedly.
It is representative of how British people often avoid the truth or confrontations and instead use sarcasm, idioms, etc. that understate the situation.
The English are also a worldwide example of people who go "Oh no, everything is fine." when everything is wrong.
There are even famous British comedies like Fawlty Towers, that have a lot of jokes about how they don't like to be honest or confrontational.
While you're right to be skeptical, if they just wanted to collect data they would have an Android version. And their stated reason for not supporting it, is that push notifications on Android would require them to at store device-IDs, which they want to avoid for privacy reasons and being vulnerable to subpoenas.
Yeah, as long as no other energy is put into the system, nothing will happen. Since the two parts are statically attached to the same object, so no additional movement or energy means no effect on the overall object.
It is basically like putting two nails in a piece of wood and stretching a rubber band between them. Nothing will happen without additional steps
Unless something huge and world-altering happens, there is a 100% chance that it will not disappear in ten years. That would take generations because of the outliers. Although it will massively reduce in usage, and it wouldn't surprise me if non-food stores begin to phase out cash purchases in a decade.
China is already demonstrating this, since pretty much everything is paid for with a phone these days. And some vendors are using "no cash" signs.
Just remember that ctrl+alt+del is a system level interrupt that should always work as long as the kernel is running. Ctrl+shift+esc is not, and won't work in some situations like being used inside a fullscreen frozen program.
