Arguably HP open-sourced webOS, but they did also got backlash because they killed that entire product line without warning.

Same here, I had a working IPv6 setup previously with my DSL provider, but now that I moved to a fibre connection, the new one refuses to support it.

Doesn't look like there's an official way to, most seem to involve hacking the search bar engines or installing an extension.

IIRC there's some patent on how the pointer accelerates based on the pressure on the nub. This was why the other pointing stick devices (I've used ones from Toshiba, HP, Dell) don't work quite well as a Lenovo/IBM TrackPoint proper.

The web version of Office apps still is not the same as the full-featured fat desktop version, which only runs on Windows and Mac OS.

You can't use the web version offline, they are not a PWA, for instance.

One step forward several steps back though, with all the other terrible crap like copying your entire drive to OneDrive by default then attempting to make you subscribe when it fills up, adding all kinds of telemetry and ad tracking, shoving Copilot in your face whenever it can, just to name a few.

You mean Spectre? Heartbleed was the SSL bug.

It made me think that Microsoft's Certified Refurbishers actually take a large hit on these, they are the most likely to have inventory that all of a sudden take a sharp loss of value, just because those didn't make the cutoff.

Corporate has been replacing systems even without this anyways, most large companies lease the machines for their warranty life.

Reminds me of my old Corsair Voyager. "Rugged" USB stick housed inside a fully rubber enclosure, which constantly causes the USB plug to snap off. Forgot how many times I had to RMA that thing.

That started with Windows 10 actually, the moment they made it a free upgrade from 7/8/8.1.

I just installed Windows 10 on a VM and laptop, both are getting non-stop "suggestions" to "finish setting up my device" with Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

You mean HDCP? I would be shocked if computers stopped getting IP addresses just because it doesn't have DRM, lol.

Entry level ThinkPads aren't really ThinkPads, the E-series in particular. Those ones were previously known as ThinkPad Edge, which were designed by a different team.

> Short term ad revenue comes from lurkers.

Except that's what startups are about these days, CEOs pump and dump the company onto Wall Street, then jump the crashing plane with their golden parachute.
