      I see Lenovo adds ALL over the place on spiceworks. No idea why.

      Just me?

      Lenovo is one of a select few companies that spend lots and lots of money on advertising with Spiceworks. They seem to get special treatment from that. Also makes me question weather I can continue to trust anything Spiceworks related 😞

      After the LNO situation, how does this make things more "questionable"?

          We had an IT and Security audit last week. Guess what the auditor was sporting... A Lenovo laptop!

              At least you didnt have to pay extra to have extra eyes on your security audit 🙂

                I had to laugh about it. Last year I got dinged for not blocking github and the similar sites. This time they tell me I can go on github and get a piece of software that will compare my firewall config and detect any changes. The logic makes ZERO sense.

                    WHAT logic? No auditor I've ever met knows jack s*** about tech. As your experience is proving. They've got a check list and that's all they care about.
