The company's justification is bold, to say the least.

Acemagic developers, "in an effort to enhance user experience by reducing initial boot time, made adjustments to the Microsoft source code, including network settings, without obtaining software digital signatures, and the RGB lighting control software was also without one. This oversight led to isolated reports of virus-infected mini PCs manufactured before November 18, 2023."

That was the first question that came to mind when I saw this post yesterday. The manufacturer is Invenda. apparently a Swiss maker of "intelligent vending solutions."

Their "solutions" are really creepy, offering "facial recognition, real-time inventory control, digital signage, remote pricing and telematics."

More importantly, the machine "communicates with an operator’s home office via a secure wireless cloud connection."
