I mean, $2k is about okay for a month of labour in much of the world

    First of all, it says it took a month of time from when he posted the initial bounty, not a month of labour... Maybe it took less. Anyway if someone has this sort of skills, they should make good money anywhere.

    True, but the guy who fixed it is an EU researcher in CS in Canada. I highly doubt he did it for the money. He seems to be into puzzles. It sucks that Lenovo did not compensate him though.
