Lenovo going down the drain. All they had to do was continue the Thinkpad legacy left by IBM. It's honestly breathtaking how badly they've fucked up. After the touch-based function keys, ruining the trackpoint buttons and now this. It's unbelievable.


They brought the trackpoint buttons back on the latest line and you can switch the F-keys back to being the defaults via a bios setting. Just in case you were curious.


And they never preinstalled this on ThinkPads as far as I know.


Still, it ruins trust. Apparently Lenovo is morally corrupt enough to inflict this on their customers. Who knows what else?

One can only hope that they keep Motorola as an independent business unit.


That hope is pretty much gone, now.
