They didn’t show their work citing misuse as the reason, which leads me to believe it’s fearmongering and that it isn’t going to work so well for the people who are actually trying (AKA have good OPSEC).

The ones doing the identifying will argue that they are right until they are blue in the face because that’s how we do things now. By lying harder until the ones you’re trying to convince believe you or give up because it’s not worth it to keep arguing. I’ve been accused of being other people or using AI to write, and those people argued or harassed me until I blocked them. I can probably expect more of this going forward.

They still don’t seem anywhere near as rugged as the tanks that were the IBM thinkpads and Early Lenovo Thinkpads. Which is a shame. The OG thinkpads were some of the best built laptops there were.
