I still haven't forgiven Sony for shipping malware in their CDs, Lenovo will never get approval from me.

Are there any companies left that haven't done some shady shit in the past?

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

A few small ones.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

you mean like Sony shipped DRM?

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yes and when sued they provided a removal tool that put a new malware on pcs.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 16 hours ago

Ohh I see.
But thank God DRM is no longer kernel level.

All the major companies have too many ghosts, and will do things I do not like.

I really want to support more ethical organizations
