I mean, $2k is about okay for a month of labour in much of the world

True, but the guy who fixed it is an EU researcher in CS in Canada. I highly doubt he did it for the money. He seems to be into puzzles. It sucks that Lenovo did not compensate him though.

First of all, it says it took a month of time from when he posted the initial bounty, not a month of labour... Maybe it took less. Anyway if someone has this sort of skills, they should make good money anywhere.

So what was the fix? Where's the link to the repo?

Thanks, I read it and scrolled up and down looking for it, but either it blends in or I was insufficiently caffeinated.

Happens to the best of us

Was it really easier to post this question instead of reading the article?

Yep! That's why we do it. Some people like responding to the comments! I'm sorry it bothers you, but not that sorry.
