When this happens and after the baby chimp gets 3 yo and speaks like a human 3 yo, we'll have humanity face with horror the totally unexpected. Then the questions. What do we do with "him" (or "her")? Can (s)he have children? Is (s)he a danger for us humans? What about other labo chimps and animal cruelty? etc... We don't need that to happen.
At least that wikipage has decent references on it. Some portions of wikipedia are no better than getting dating advise from bathroom stall scribblings.
Superfish was previously included on some consumer notebook products shipped between September 2014 and February 2015 to assist customers with discovering products similar to what they are viewing. However, user feedback was not positive, and we responded quickly and decisively
According to the wiki only "some" Lenovo are affected. But according to the same page, that fat fish has ~100m users monthly. So it is likely other products are affected...
The question we are entitled to ask is: why aggression is of interest for Mr Hawking? He is stuck in a wheelchair and cannot move at all. He communicates with the external world via a muscle in his cheek. That must make him particularly sensitive to aggression.
Microsoft should temper the learning machine cleverness. As someone may ask the machine one day: "which company having a quasi monopoly, is involved in bribery scandals, astroturfing, paid false product reviews and comparisons,... ?"
I use mainly Crucial stuff and the sound is not that bad. Doing a "find /..." produces some low dB noise, but it's nothing compared to the noise coming from the good old mechanical hard disks.
What? NSA is consistent with what happens in most companies. In these big corporations is a top management [government] not much aware of the tecky stuff, and takes more or less irresponsible decisions based on incompetence. How a government is supposed to decide the good and bad of actions of which they're totally incapable of understanding the implications? Something that should be understood by any gov that doesn't require much skill is that the more an entity has power, the more it has to exist a counter entity able to control it. The police has such a controlling entity. Why isn't there anything competently controlling the NSA?
Ok that was something I read being younger - but it seems it's actually wrong. Sorry my dear/.ers... we didn't have wikipedia at the time! List_of_animals_by_number_of_neurons Brain size

systemd relative importance has been discussed here on this very site. It's deemed overrated.
Maybe not. But such crapware would have been detected much faster on Linux.
Are you suggesting that Lenovo couldn't have done this if Linux was preinstalled?
Lenovo wouldn't have dared doing it.

What nerve!
This page seems to work fine for most users.

Not their job.
So why do they Urges Lenovo Customers To Remove Superfish now?
use OpenBSD!
Actually installing any Linux fragrance would completely wipe-out this stinky big fish crap.
+1I, that's what I thought.
To be fair, 90% OSes in the world are Windows. What do you think would happen if 90% OSes were Linux (besides my complete satisfaction)?
"Lenovo began installing Superfish VisualDiscovery software on some of its computers as early as 2010". And Homeland Security, with all their skillful teams, their heavy means, could not figure out that dirty adware before 2015?

They sell them for hundreds to fools!
And they sell $5 cables to fools who really think it's gold.

Name is enough or you need phone and address as well?

Gorillas have a bigger brain (than humans)...
I first ensure the wrt is openwrt compliant. Then the 1st thing I do after purchase is installing openwrt.
Superfish has completely disabled server side interactions
That means they probably have no way to disable the client side. Poorly implemented crap.
