Remember them pre-installing superfish? Pushing ads into the browser, compromising HTTPS by adding their own root certificate, and it was all kept in the bios so even a wipe of the OS wasnt going to fix it.

Or their software in the bios that pulled in lenovoo software before windows started?

Or all the CVE's their bios had?

And then there is all the feedback software that they added that ran silently in the background.

I am not sure they enshitified or just simply always have been shit.
