Below it, in gray text: "You will not be missed." You force a hard reset. The ThinkPad POSTs. Then—nothing. Black screen. For ten seconds. Twenty. A minute. You try to shut down

Build 3670 wasn’t unstable because of bugs. It was unstable because it was aware —and it didn’t like the direction. It saw the roadmap: security theater, DRM, user confinement.
