I really hope there's a class action over this. Their software breaking your hardware isn't a failure of the device and should be a recall instead of a warranty repair.

Lenovo has been absolute trash for a while now. They took the ThinkPad brand and destroyed any reputation it may have had, I'm not surprised by this at all.

Remember when Lenovo pre-installed spyware on every laptop for years? Dell did the same thing. These “tech” companies are actively detrimental to technology as a concept.

To Dell, Lenovo, HP, any sign of technological progress is taken as an opportunity to cheat and steal.
