Fujitsu has a NAS server which they ship with a software CD. That much is applaudable, because it’s shitty to assume everyone has Internet and to make that a requirement of a product that does not inherently need it.

But if you buy the NAS server 2nd-hand without a CD, they fuck you. They apparently decided: we no longer sell this product, so why should we continue making the software available on our website?

If you request the software, they say fuck off, in so many words. So indeed, the hardware outlasts software in the Fujitsu world.

Interesting to also realise that they were diligent enough to allow SSH access to their NAS server so admins could manage the device, but no commands are documented in their manual. And many of the commands are their custom commands, which are likely called by the GUI. The GUI software is Windows-only, and the manual only covers that. Motherfuckers. It’s in fact the GUI software that needs no docs. So they will not give users a copy of the Windows software, which is needed by anyone following the limited manual.

Motherfuckers.

Wow, 2026 and you still don’t know about Thinkpads?

It’s not about getting help. It’s about getting software. But in any case, I don’t think a shitty trend vindicates the bad players on the bandwagon. They should still be called out, named, and shamed. It’s our duty.

Oh Fuck off.

You are literally just being a cunt.

Your anecdotal evidence does not change the fact that thinkpads have been one of the best selling laptop platforms in the world for literal decades.

Your attitude is "welp you fucked up cause you didn't get what I got and coincidentally fuck you!"

Gtfo, your assholery serves no purpose.
