In my opinion, touching anything made by Fujitsu is not ethical.

The OA was describing the use of a refurbished laptop made by Fujitsu Japan (so 50% owned by Lenovo since 2017). No profit goes to Fujitsu UK (a subsidiary). And the Horizon system has a complex history [1].

But still, perhaps no, simply in solidarity.

Yes, Fujitsu did some nasty things, but half the world would have reasons not to do business with the UK.

Plus, the Post Office Scandal had a lot of input from the PO itself and the British legal system.

It was a very British failure overall.

I would say buying used Fujitsu from a third party seller is still better than letting it become e-waste. It's not like Fujitsu is getting any of that money.

This was my first thought as well.
