HN comments are underrated
The comments on that &quot;Lenovo is blocking Linux on some new laptops&quot; story a while back were truly abysmal. I think that&#x27;s the only time where I was really disappointed by HN comments. Now obviously (and as many of the more thoughtful commenters pointed out) this was just a case of missing support in the Linux kernel. There was no &quot;secret deal&quot; between Lenovo and Microsoft that the customer service rep on that forum revealed. Intel posted some patches to fix this a few days ago: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;marc.info&#x2F;?l=linux-ide&amp;m=147709610621480&amp;w=2" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;marc.info&#x2F;?l=linux-ide&amp;m=147709610621480&amp;w=2</a><p>The thread I question, with over 1000 points and 500 comments: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=12545878" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=12545878</a>
