I inherited a Lenovo machine that booted Linux from 'ROM', i.e. a secret partition on the SATA drive accessible from a button on startup.

I think it was a Windows 7 starter edition machine that was so underpowered it was a proof of concept if you got fed up with the main OS it would boot into 'lightweight' Linux.

So yeah baking a live CD into recovery partition is nothing new.

Sony still has their 'Open Devices' platform, focusing on Sailfish? They exited the Australian market some years ago, so I haven't seen an Xperia in many years.

Pinephone is all but dead, so the era of open handsets appears at an end.

But Lenovo going above and beyond here might have flow on effects for other projects through documentation.

I am currently on vacation, I might have considered North America again but the current administration isn't projecting a welcoming environment for tourism.

That's upwards of $US5000 I might have contributed to the US economy...

I don't need the drama; the weather in Iquique, Chile is decent in 'winter', thanks for askin' :)
