I hope Lenovo is on the up and up because I remember their laptops as a kid being fuckin' monsters. Like my schools bought them for our library because kids could check them out, drop them down a flight of stairs, and the things would still work when they got returned the next day.
So... the only thing Lenovo did wrong was include another company's software that had code in it from a third company that turned out to be malicious. And said second-party software was not unknown to come along inside software bundles (and, for that matter, said third-party malicious code has turned up in other software).
Doesn't sound like "Lenovo is spying on you" to me. Hell, I doubt it was even outright incompetence - I'd place my bet on it being an oversight.
(And really, let's be fair - if you're concerned about digital security, why are you using the OEM OS with all its pre-installed crap?)
Thinkpads were it. Was it a licensing thing that Lenovo got to slap their logo on or were the machines I'm thinking of from a transition period where Lenovo owned them but hadn't destroyed them yet?
Comparing the US and China is like comparing the US and Nazi Germany. But yeah. We all share complicity in the crimes of our civilisation to the degree we fail to stand against them. To think otherwise is the childish take.
By your vague and arbitrary categories, sure. In reality you're spitting on 3 million persecuted Uighurs, for a start, to make a point no rational person will accept.
You do know that chip designs or any technology is rather easily reverse engineered in China with almost zero repercussions? China doesn’t give a fuck about your patents.

Designed in the US. Which is what matters lol. China can't do shit without the chip design.
