The Chinese run all their businesses like mafia operations.
As the West’s manufacturing base is being dismantled, all of our electronics and other appliances are now being made in China. And we’re starting to get a small taste of what that means for our future.
The Chinese have no such things as morals or common decency; they’ll exploit every small way to make an extra penny, no matter how illegal or ridiculous, as if squeezing water from a stone.
So it’s not enough to manufacture cheap PC’s using borderline slave labor and low grade components prone to failure.
It’s not enough to manipulate their currency exchange rate and trade deals with foreign countries to get the best possible price for their crap products.
It’s not enough to ignore all environmental laws while making those products just to shave a few pennies here and there.
No.
On top of that, they’ll also infect their PC’s with hidden adware to get a few extra dollars out of third party companies, even if that exposes their customers to security vulnerabilities and constant annoyances.
We’re dealing with Lo Pan tier evil here, folks.
The FTC said Tuesday that it cannot stop computer makers from selling computers that inject ads into webpages to US consumers. The statement covers Lenovo’s practice of having sold computers pre-installed with the so-called VisualDiscovery adware developed by a company called Superfish. This adware, which was installed on computers without consumers’ knowledge, hijacked encrypted Web sessions that made users vulnerable to HTTPS man-in-the-middle attacks and shared user browsing data with third parties.
In a Tuesday court settlement with Lenovo, the FTC said the Chinese hardware maker, or any computer company for that matter, was free to sell computers with the adware made from a company called Superfish—as long as consumers consented before it was downloaded on the machine.
That’s like ruling that a plumbing company has a right to install defective pipes in people’s homes, as long as they sign a consent form.
It’s ridiculous.
People are freaking retarded. They won’t read, let alone understand, any prompt for consent. That’s why we need the government to control what these evil foreign corporations can do to our people.
Is this what you want? Well, I gotta admit it looks pretty cool, though.
“As part of the settlement with the FTC, Lenovo is prohibited from misrepresenting any features of software preloaded on laptops that will inject advertising into consumers’ Internet browsing sessions or transmit sensitive consumer information to third parties. The company must also get consumers’ affirmative consent before pre-installing this type of software,” the FTC announced.
The commission said Lenovo has stopped installing Superfish’s VisualDiscovery software. In February 2015, the software became one of the hottest topics in the security world after it was disclosed that the Chinese computer maker was shipping computers with VisualDiscovery pre-installed, unbeknownst to consumers. The software secretly installed a self-signed root HTTPS certificate that could intercept encrypted traffic for every website a user visited. When a user visited an HTTPS site, the site certificate was signed and controlled by Superfish and falsely represented itself as the official website certificate. The FTC said Tuesday that 750,000 computers with this software were sold in the US.
Are you looking forward to a future controlled by the chinks?
Sure, they’ll probably exterminate the Jews, Moslems and Blacks.
But how the hell are you supposed to run an intergalactic empire if all your computers are overloaded with adware, spyware and other bloated crap? How are we going to beat the insectoids if our ship’s targeting systems pause to show us tampon ads?
“I can’t aim! It’s showing me ads again!”
Also, what the hell is the point of having a trade commission (the FTC) if they don’t do anything about such blatant abuse?
We need institutions that actually look after American’s interests for a change.
