He most likely will be running windows 10 anywys

Data spills around more than soy milk

"everyone does it" yeah what a wonderfull argument :P

What should he be buying then

its like giving plaintext CC details in your wordpress site "everyone is in risk anyway so i might as well do this

"risk is same anyway"

....

So tell me what should he be buying then

not supportting known violators in first place

So which one

afaik for example HP does not have history of abusing their market position to implant malware

or at least have not been busted about it

inb4 "touchpoint"

Kek they had keylogger installed at one point

https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/technology-42309371

So give me another company

Hp hardware is dogshit too

FYI it was synaptics direct code not HPs

but ~yeah

iirc it had workaround for some bug what they forgot into code anyway

and inactive until registery was edited

same case as was with conextat audio shit

"root" level apis/drivers

well duh that they can do that on windows

I thought it was about not supporting known abusers

indeed hp does not use conextant audio code anymore

as far as i know that is ?

second comapny what comes to mind is samsung laptops what dont have anything that i can remember

they were blamed from false-positive some time ago tho (f-secure confirmed how badly behaving AV misjudged based on >foldername)

Is buying from BangGood the same as like GearBest? Like... I don't need an agent or anything like with TaoBao, right?

yeah

@fedora then there is clevo,gigabyte,fujitsu(iirc),Getac,originpc,System76,

aand probly some others what i forgot to mention

🤗 Thank you

what are not on my blacklist atleast

all those mostly due due they sell windows as clean install without bloatware as option (or linux) ((but this is so far on off-topic now that -->)

cube????????????????

are the shark sd cards any good? I see them on /g/ but I'm a little skeptical about buying them

no buy locally its almost the same price and no chance of getting chinked

they're good but the main attraction was that they were once super cheap

locally is a bit more expensive and not really worth it
