Negative sentiment has been accumulating against the company for a long while, rebrand is a good strategy

FB execs aren't stupid. This is not about the metaverse, it is about deflecting from bad press and ill will into mockery about this aloof nonsense.

A few weeks or months ago you probably noticed your sentiment towards facebook turn pretty negative. Just thinking about the company as dorky instead helps their bottom line.

We all know this project isn't going anywhere, including maybe everyone but zuck.

The more noise about this lame ass project instead of how fb is ruining society, the better for them.

big +1 to this response. I got a lenovo (thinkpad x series) and it hit 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, obviously implying 4.

I tried really, really hard to like the lenovo. It just was not built good enough for every day use. It was just a piece of shit.

One more very important point:

If it breaks and you need support, what happens then?

MBP: take it in to a nearby apple store. if not immediate fix or replacement then very rapid turnaround

Lenovo: Send it to china! and wait 6 weeks and maybe you'll get the right computer back, and maybe the problem will be fixed
