You can't really feel okay with having your banking data, SS#, private family info, spousal info, kids' info, all taken by a group of third parties.
I have never said it's okay. Now you are calling me a liar and shaming me, though not as pathetically as others.
You are implying that it is okay over and over. By asking what we know that they took (rather than what they exposed), acting like the NSA being able to get data makes this irrelevant, stating that someone being in a store is not the same as theft... all downplaying the actual issues. That's how you make victim shaming - it wasn't "bad enough" and we should have to prove damage. Those aren't okay things to imply or ask or say.

Allegedly. You dont think the US is doing anything?
@Obsolesce said in Lenovo Owns Motorola Discussion:
What data did they harvest from you?
@Obsolesce said in Lenovo Owns Motorola Discussion:
I was just curious how he knows what was harvested. Did he capture packets being sent to them, was it all data? I'd like to see the results he's has showing all of his data was going there.

It's okay to take off your tin foil hats
@Obsolesce said in Lenovo Owns Motorola Discussion:
Adware using a stupid method to insert ads into your web pages, somehow translates to OH NOES! Lenovo is stealing all my data!!!
@Obsolesce said in Lenovo Owns Motorola Discussion:
All of your data is not being pirated by Lenovo.
@Obsolesce said in Lenovo Owns Motorola Discussion:
I seen a whole lot of "could"s in there. Someone inside a retail store "could" steal something... Just because he could, doesn't mean he is stealing.
Here is a quick rundown of where you implied that either they didn't do anything, or what they did do was okay. And this is after you started on this thread reacting to us pointing out that Lenovo owned Motorola as if that wasn't true, then you changed it to being about labels... which was something different than discussed. You started by attempting to downplay or cover up that Motorola products were Lenovo products. Then went to this instead.

@Obsolesce blaming the end user is like Equifax blaming the US Citizens who don't have a choice about the credit being monitored at fault for Equifax having horrible practices.
As if the consumer should be the person aware of how Equifax systems are setup and are in charge of maintaining security over them . .

Not quite as bad, at least we have a choice to avoid Lenovo. You can't avoid Equifax.

Sure, you have a choice to purchase something, many businesses purchased Lenovo at the time (in scores of their consumer line - personal experience) and their employees used those laptops for all kinds of things.

Well sure, but at least those employees know to only put company data on there. If the company chooses to have its own data stolen, that's up to them. The employee knows now to visit a bank website from that computer, for example, or to log into anything.

Knowing "not to do something" doesn't it mean it didn't occur. I know tons of people who use their work device for literally everything because and I quote "work gave me a laptop why would I have my own".
It's just scores of bad that goes on to affect so much more than just people who opt'd to purchase Lenovo, but businesses that forced people to use Lenovo products, and they willfully using said product for personal use.

Yes, but that's still "work didn't give me a secure option but I decided to do it anyway". That's clearly prioritizing not being your own computer over being secure. If they didn't have that job or a work provided computer, they'd need some way to do it anyway.

How is anything you are saying not victim shaming if you aren't calling me a liar?
First of all, no, I do not believe you are ever lieing because, lies are false statements made with deliberate intent to deceive. If I feel you say something that is untrue when you believe it to be true, and I disagree with what you say, does NOT ever fucking make it okay for you to tell me I'm calling you a liar. Stop doing that. I'm not talking specifically about this case so don't quote my previous statement because it will then be out of context. I'm saying in general, that if someone disagrees with you, does not in any way give you the right to say they are calling you a liar. Lies are specific to deliberate intent to deceive, what you are inserting is wrong.

So if it's raining outside and you ask me what the weather is, and I tell you it's sunny and clear.
I'm not lying?
