AFAIK the ad/spyware wasn’t BIOS level, it was “only” bundled with the preinstalled windows. Also, while it doesn’t exonerate lenovo, the spyware doesn’t exist anymore.

I have noticed similar issues recently and also suspect their DNS is to blame.

Get a smartwatch with Gadgetbridge support and keep your data on your phone.

I started using the webos port of kodi + jellyfin addon. It was surprisingly easy to install and doesn’t require rooting. Kodi plays all the DV profiles I’ve tried. Only issue was a slight audio delay, but once I dialed that in it has worked flawlessly ever since.

Your point being?

I am bilingual (non-english languages) and use those languages with friends and family. I also use English daily on social media etc.

I use openboard and it does exactly what I want it to do: it displays characters I can type out myself. I don’t use swipe typing, predictions or autocorrect as those never work well enough, usually exclusively giving shit suggestions or corrections. I also use three languages daily, so I’d have to constantly switch the keyboard language, if I had autocorrect/predictions/swipe turned on.

I do understand that my use case is not the norm, but I still wanted to give my two cents.

Same but with scanners. Plugged in a canon protable scanner, which requires their software to work on windows while it just works on linux. The cherry on top was that when I then had to make a single pdf of the things i scanned, I just ran pdfunite file1.pdf file2.pdf ... output.pdf and guess what… it also just worked.
