Mine gave me a top of the line MacBook Pro, fully loaded.
Then loaded so much security crap on it that all cores are maxed out without me even touching machine. Base vim nearly unusable.
Then they made it so I could only access things via a double Remote Desktop tunnel.
Basically an expensive space heater.
3 months of nothing done until security software suffered an unfortunate accident.
- DelightOne 6y ago> suffered an unfortunate accident scheduled or unscheduled?
- treeman79 6y agoI actually had a loop in background that would kill -9 various services every few seconds until I finally got them all uninstalled.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoIf you can kill -9 it sounds like it could have been uninstalled?
- a1369209993 6y agoYou need to kill -9 the denial-of-service-causing services so you can actually interact with the system in order to delete them. (I used to have to do this with organizational Windows machines before I realized I could boot off a livecd and either rm -rf them, or just install a real operating system; I assume OSX/MBP is similar.)
- marcosdumay 6y agoIf I select "unscheduled" will I have to fill a survey before I can reboot the machine?
- joshstrange 6y agoUgh, this is something that friends of mine have to deal with. Thankfully my current employer sent me a new MBP with nothing on it but the core OS. It does annoy me they didn't get the 32GB version, like it was ~$400 to bump that up but no. I've easily spent more than $400 worth of time watching a beachball spin while I find what is eating all my memory.
