[We need your help!] Help fight vendor lock-in, sign this petition to Lenovo

[sinip]

Just signed up! And few weeks ago I've finally got rid of that Atheros crap that came with B570e, with it I never knew whether I'll get connected to some AP or not. Even if you would get connected at some place it wouldn't mean you'll get connected few days later at the same place, same AP. What a relief after installing Intel card!

I just signed it. It is aggravating to be stuck with the broadcom 4313 chip with no linux drivers that will let me reliably connect to an access point.

Signed! Let us hope they will come to their senses.
Just look at all the requests on this forum.

I just signed the petition, Lenovo's modus operandi is "be average" not "for those who do". By the way anybody ever watch this awesome critique of the new Thinkpads vs the original IBM Thinkpads?

Showed my support to our cause. Hope they listen to us. Else will never buy or evem suggest any product of theirs .

I signed this a little while ago, and I agree with not supporting Lenovo. Hopefully they'll realize that whitelisting can put a dent in their market and remove the whitelist. I'd much rather them remove it than play around with modifying the bios but it's been a learning experience for me. I still haven't gotten the BIOS to flash though, I keep getting a "may not have EC rom!" error.
