Oh man ... the cruft that corporate IT installs slows down the computers so much. Its better if companies start handing out linux machines if they cant afford macs. I would trade my windows laptop with IT cruft any day for a linux machine.
- hn_version_0023 5y agoIT will cruft it up no matter the OS. I’ve had to run TrendMicro on AWS linux instances because of the gov’ts settlement with Sony re: “North Korean hacking”. It destroyed performance. Also it was poorly configured by the checkmark-brigade in their “security & compliance” department. All I’m saying is careful what you wish for. Edit: spelling
- unionpivo 5y agoYou have too much faith in corporate IT. They can fuck up macs and Linux just as well.
- abawany 5y agoCan confirm: got Symantec End-Point Protection rolled out on macs here and it has turned them in slow crashy pieces of ... garbage; I've had to restore my machine from backup a couple of times already when a macos update with this thing running would result in an unbootable machine. It would have been more cost-efficient and secure to smash our machines with sledgehammers than force us to run this ... junk.
