We all know its true...

Our Laptops at work are Monster platforms that run like a PC from the early 90's thanks to Windows, McAfee, the Corporate Network and other garbage s/w they add to keep tabs on what we do.

Ours are not good machines. Mine isn't awful, but that was due to tiger sending the wrong one.

Your whole IT team should be fired for allowing McAfee in the building, much less on the computers. Microsoft Intune would be far better.

With corporate IT it's not always about what's better but what's alright and cheaper that the other guys.

Oh!, How I wish it were so... We're locked down so tight on the Corporate Image we're just glad the keyboards still work... :(

A lot of company-issued shit is all locked up, and you're punished if you screw around with pre-installed shit.

Ransomware is partly to blame for that.

That's so very true too but my family hasn't been willing to ransom me outta this job yet... :P

Granted, considering how companies get infected sometimes through rogue software on laptops, they need to lock things down.

yeah- but McAfee? almost anything else would be better (except Norton).

Yeah..., I'm not saying they're wrong... but it sure does suck.

Yup. but so do pink slips from being targeted by spearphishing, and encrypting the corporate network with cryptolocker.
