Lenovo business practices
Yes indeed, an ScD of Cybernetic Systems DOES qualify me so long as my understanding of what is involved in the System (computer hardware and-or software/or biological/or structural/or heating-cooling/etc) and how it/they are configured is correct. I am not arguing because I don't need to prove anything to myself or anyone else for that matter, only taking issue with a backhanded comment calling me a liar.
In any event you have provided pertinent, additional information that:
1- Was not provided by the manufacturer before/after the sale or ever
2- Actually proved my point that the information you provided was readily available and hence, any/every manufacturer should have been aware of it when configuring a 'system' for sale
3- I don't know how you could have helped me with Lenovo then or now
When I buy a refridgerator, Fisher & Paykill for instance as I think they are manufactured in your country and I happen to own one, I do not ask the salesperson details on how the motor is configured to the cooling system and how the chip in the display provides feedback to regulate coolness/features nor do I go online for that kind of detailed information.
What I do not understand is why, if it were a software problem, it wasn't easily fixed. Software modifications are a piece of cake. Instead they sold out of the product lines (mine in particular 8 months after I purchased it) that had the configuration, then did 'Clearance Sale' on spare parts in inventory (like batteries, an accessory) and never produced the accessories they advertised would be available. Having also run a profitable company I am knowledgeable as to cost of inventory and spare parts, cost of re-manufacturing and so forth. Yes I know your point relates to the tree in the forest, "it is software", and not these points but they do make it harder yet to swallow the software only pill.
So, from my perspective this thread is closed. I agree to disagree, if that is what you want; I do not agree to be labeled a liar. I am happy I do not have the where-with-all to tell other members of the forum that they must come to your conclusions, but so be it, that's your thing.
