alt Hacker News> It's crazy that Lenovo will still be trusted to build secured hardware after that.
Lenovo already has an history of backdooring the devices they sell, sometimes in exchange for money. It's insane that anyone trusts them for anything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levono#Security_and_privacy_in...

Precisely. They gave up integrity so early after acquiring the ThinkPad brand as to be immediately unusable.
How can I be sure my lenovo laptop is safe? I have a clean install, but should I dump the motherboard firmware and ask ai to decompile it? Is there another place they could hide bloatware? Besides main storage / motherboard firmware?
Should I check network card firmware?) Maybe they added a rule to forward certain instructions to the OS embedded in the CPU
