While the whole exchange must've sucked for them, I've found their reaction extremely amusing at times, especially the carpet banning for life of everyone within a country/state to the offending party. But hey, that'll definitely show AMD how to hire those coreboot developers

So they're just Clevo reseller?

The sure made it sound they're way more than that.

    Well, at least they used to be a while back: https://l.opnxng.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/ukgaf/general_consensus_on_malibal/

    Just tried to find teardowns of more recent laptops of theirs to see if it's still the case, rather unsuccessfully. Although, I've found a few more reviews (in addition to those in the comments):

    Soo, now I'm even more skeptical of their statement that their communications to those developers were nothing but polite

    Holy shit what a nut job. Reading the comments the real gold is apparently their terms of service. They've got a giant laundry list of things that will get you banned including using Chrome or having a gmail email address.
