    Lenovo has always been trash; like it’s not that bad style. The best was the clit mouse thing.

      Apparently the mouse nipple is good for people working out in the field with big gloves on. I don’t for the life of me know why they put it in the middle of the fucking keyboard instead of in any of the empty space beside the trackpad, but it has a use, allegedly.

        The actual use is for text/document editing, you don’t need to move your hands away from the keyboard to quickly select something with the clitmouse. Thinkpads are business laptops.

    Lenovo has fallen from grace. The last decade they were just riding the reputation they had when they were under IBM, while they cut cost and lowered quality.

      for context

      The FU100 is “just an SD card in a fancy case,” Li said in a March conference talk. It is, as a result, trivial for anyone with physical access to get to the drive’s data.

      I bet some engineer was tasked with the whole thing, under budget, over extended, and had their whole team cost savings cut from covid when they built that.

    Well, I guess that explains what the “FU” in the model number stands for!

    The fingerprint reader only enabled the USB connection, and nothing on the card was actually encrypted.

    Pathetic

    They’re the people making the next GrapheneOS hardware. There’s some interesting cognitive dissonance.
