keylogger in HP laptops
Saw this in Peterborough LUG, and reposting here because a recent thread involved HP laptops. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42309371 -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca>
Along the same line, Richard Stallman talks about problematic Ubuntu. https://youtu.be/CP8CNp-vksc On December 12, 2017 1:57:22 AM EST, William Park via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

There are so many unknowns with Windows privacy/security. Especially adware (which this was not). The vulnerability I mentioned yesterday is underneath the OS level so it applies to Linux, BSD, Windows, OSX and DOS.

imnsho, HP laptops are still the best hardware to run Linux on :) You will note that the response from HP regarding synaptics, etc. was open, quick and decisive The same cannot be said of so many other hardware peddlers. (as most of them are not vendors)
