Just stop buying their product. Issue fixed !
If only life were that simple. Whose laptops am I going to buy?
Dell: Marks up replacement SSD prices by 10x (including the predatory behaviour of embedding QR codes to these in the bios to be shown in error states)
Apple: ...
Lenovo: History of installing literal spyware
Microsoft: Bad products
After decades of Apple I go for Lenovo without OS +Linux nowadays, really good experience.
The correct answer to that question is currently Framework.
You know you can just pop in a Crucial MX500, right?
And I did. The issue is they put in a QR code for their own $800 500 GB SSD in the bios error message for when your SSD breaks.
My non-technical friend had no idea it's an obscene price and may have bought it just to get his laptop working.
