I think GP was referring to SuperFish,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfish

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9072424 ("Lenovo Caught Installing Adware on New Computers")

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9074110 ("Extracting the SuperFish certificate")

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9524536 ("Class action lawsuit filed against Lenovo over Superfish")

etc.



This seems to be a windows spyware, the OP refers specifically to hardware, and this discussion is about linux so I don't think he was referring to Superfish.

Incidentally, the OP is troll account with -3 Karma so I think he was just trolling anyway, I didn't notice that when I first replied.


Yeah CCP shills do say that to those who oppose them ;)
