>...because it’s the hardware management service and if it goes down you’re no longer managing the hardware?

I’m no expert on device drivers but to my knowledge, Windows already allows you to manage devices and install drivers through Device Managers.

Then if drivers are already installed for the various devices and hardware components, what exactly is the hardware management service managing on top of the individual drivers?

I am asking this as the only plausible reason to be doing this (at least for me) is if Windows isn’t providing enough tools for device management that needs coordination between the hardware components on the machine, so I would appreciate someone with more knowledge to shed some light on the subject.

From Microsoft’s blog post:

Inspecting MateBookService.exe!main revealed a “startup mode” that revived the service if it’s stopped – some sort of watchdog mechanism meant to keep the Huawei PC Manager main service running.

I agree that it’s hard to prove malice, but why should any PC management software go out of their way to ensure that it never gets shut down?

Out of curiosity, how did you find out about the IP theft?

Also, what are some actions (if there are any) that one can take if one learns of such IP theft? Are there any legal protections or is it simply a lost cause at that point?

Well, maybe this specific case doesn't apply to you, but enthusiasm and passion weren't the vocabulary used to describe many of my friends' experiences working late nights at fb.

Twitter is already in a bad state as is - I wonder why they decided to turn it's back on the public now.

This. My wife's MacBook Air is slowly dying and we've been hoping for a 13" MacBook Air with Retina display but it never happened. We went and tried the new MacBook Pro with the touch pad and the 12" MacBook, but she just doesn't like the feel of the new keyboard. This truly disappointed her as she really liked how light her MB Air was and the battery life, but she just couldn't get around the feel of the new MacBook Pros' keyboard. When her laptop finally stops to function, we'll have to choose between a 2015 MacBook Pro 13" or a Windows laptop.

While I do agree that the current immigration laws need to change in order to allow for international students with a US college degree to pursue a life in the US, I believe that the original intent/purpose of the H1B was not to provide a way for new grads to stay in the US but rather to attract talented workers from abroad with skillsets that are hard to find in the US.

That being said, as someone in a similar boat (graduated from a US college, lived in the US for more than half of my life), I strongly believe that there is a need for a reform in US immigration laws. Even though I spent more than half my life in the States, I don't qualify for any programs/paths to pursue permanent residency in the US except for the H1B route.

From the context, I believe the OP meant US employees of the said companies.

Am I the only one disappointed by the butterfly keyboards on the new Macbook Pros?

I've been a Mac user for roughly about ten years now, but I think it's time to switch back to Windows.
