>who would spend so much cash on a MACBOOK >heheh mactoddlers >GOOGLE IS THE BOTNET DUDE LMAO >muh privacy
there is literally no good excuse for you to defend windows anymore. let alone any windows laptop. or even blame le botnet meme on chrome. you are all fucking retarded
Ian Scott
>preinstalled >not installing a bear bones installation on your own You faggots deserve it.
Tyler Reed
>new laptop >doesn't format and reinstall Windows day one wew lad
Evan Wood
This is the same thing as superfish.
Anybody who isn't dumb is gonna reformat the second they get the machine.
How can anybody deal the with bloat anyway?
Gabriel Peterson
>not installing hackintosh on a new laptop wewlad.
Connor Morales
>bear bones lol
Cameron Johnson
kek'd
Owen Gomez
>who would spend so much cash on a MACBOOK Retards looking for a status laptop? Is this a trick question? Are you saying MacBooks are immune? If your macshit has an Intel processor I've got bad news for you...
Easton Robinson
>HP >thinking people will type anything interesting before it catches fire
Xavier Flores
>macfags think Apple doesn't collect data You guys are fucking retarded toddlers
Levi Ward
Posting from my 10 year old macbook, still works great, only got it because all of my pc laptops died within a year from hardware issues. Runs windows great.
Leo Moore
>iToddlers can't understand the concept of not doing a clean installation by yourself Keep playing with your iToys, faggots
Connor Brooks
i hate apple but there's a difference between the government having your data and jewcorps having your data
Jeremiah Allen
>government is owned by jewcorps >difference No.
Jordan Reed
You can't be fucking serious...
Jonathan Cook
have fun with your dualcore, toddler
Colton Clark
this has nothing to do with windows, mactoddler. it's applel's fault that shit like this is normal today.
Ayden Gomez
thats oooooooold news
Juan Bell
>claims to write is own audio drivers for laptop with custom buttons Yeah fucking right kiddo
Jacob Jenkins
>iToddlers can't understand that companies who sell your data also keep the data MacToddlers are beyond retarded. Apple truly is for the technological illiterate.
Carson Jackson
>he doesn't wipe the hard drive and install a fresh copy of windows when he get a new computer
you deserve it
Jayden Cook
>Not formatting and installing the OS by yourself The faggots who don't do this fucking deserved it
Josiah Murphy
>he can't write a driver laughing_programmers.jpg
Eli Long
>write custom audio drivers with custom buttons >write drivers with custom buttons >custom buttons iToddlers are truly retarded. Why not talk about all the recent events that fucked up your company? Such as the extremely vulnerable exploits discovered by researches, the problem where iPhones changed "i" into "a," and the update that brought back the root vulnerability (all of this happened in one fucking week)? Why not talk about how your company charges one and a half grand for a fucking dual core, half a gb of an ssd, 8 gbs of ram, and an integrated chip? Do you think that is worth your money?
Angel Moore
Only dumb normies have to worry about this. Anyone with even slight intelligence knows you wipe the drive and install an OS fresh when you get a new system.
Easton Gray
ITODDLERS BTFO
Gabriel Collins
>Company I work at has a supply contract with HP Ok, I format all of them with our own image beforehand, but even worse >Workers go ahead and use our business laptops for personal matters
Lincoln Perry
I'd say around 99.999% of workers do that.
Landon Long
not him but 80% of current laptops have dual core cpus desu
John Flores
HP would bundle spyware even if GNU/Linux was the default operating system. Nuke and pave is the only thing you can do.
Jayden Collins
That doesn't justify the hefty price tag for the iToddler toys. Many cheaper laptops have way better specs. Do you think paying 1500 dollars is worth a dual core, 8 Gbs of RAM, and an integrated graphics chip?
Michael Morales
>he thinks the real spyware isn't on the hardware level
Parker Barnes
>OP is a macfag >never heard of editing the host files to block data transmission iToddlers are truly beyond retarded. Go back to letting your corporate overlords change your diapers for you.
Henry Reyes
What if the IPs are hardcoded in the spyware?
Mason Jones
That's a good point too. Intel ME and AMD's own security black box. Too bad mactoddlers probably don't know what those are. I'm just wondering, does nvidia do the same with their graphics card? Do all mobos come with built in spyware? Are there any alternative CPU companies that don't put spyware in their chips?
Oliver Anderson
Again, editing the fucking host file would most likely work. That's what many windows users did to block most of the spyware from transmitting data.
Cooper Lewis
>See thread >"Oh shit, dun HP goofed this hard?" >Some pre-installed shit Yawn. Don't you have a root password to reset?
Logan Bennett
I don't think you understand how hosts file works.
Christian Gonzalez
thinkpad yoga 460 was around that new with same spec desu but i think that worth a lot more than a standard laptop because it has the wacom digitiser it also has a hdd bay. I think i would maybe buy a mac if they did two in ones
Jace Thompson
Microsoft stores have that signature laptops with zero bloatware, but people ignore because people only buy laptops of Wal-marts
Ryder Miller
This had nothing to do with Windows though? It was up to the manufacturer?
Robert Russell
the chances of you buying a macbook with a keylogger preinstalled is literally 0%
Jason Thompson
True, this is a threat to facebook grannies. But the majority of this board would install a distro as step 0, so to them it doesn't matter if it comes with 4 different bitcoin miners and a Tor node.
Michael Myers
keylogger even with linux installed? does the keylogger work with linux?
Benjamin Bailey
the perception that hp laptops are crap is good because it means no one will try to steal it. they are more likely to want to steal a macbook
Christopher Wood
>status laptop
You neckbeards need to go outside and stop thinking that the average person is going to judge you by your laptop. Real life is not Sup Forums, don't be fucking retarded. Most people don't even know the exact model of laptop they're using without double checking. The only status that comes with a Mac is that of having the best personal OS at hand with an unparalleled ecosystem of products.
Zachary Howard
nobody said that fucking windows isn't botnet, dude
John Harris
>The only status that comes with a Mac is that of having the best personal OS at hand Opinion.
Sebastian Ortiz
kek
Sebastian Richardson
I cba to read the details on this case, but previous shit like this has been on a BIOS level, meaning it gets reinstalled even with a clean install.
Lucas Davis
No, previous shit like this (superfish etc) has it on the bloatware that the manufacturer shoves on there for extra money.
