#computer

I've noticed my screen flashling blue for a while now. And it's random. Anyone else or am I alone?

There was no restart needed and no advanced warning of a download to be done as usual so that I could schedule it for another time. Got 2 inconsistent on my review last week. Is this a sign that I get let go tomorrow?

The title says it all. We’ve got so much in the way of cybersecurity, spyware, performance monitoring, key logging, etc, that it’s negatively impacting the usability of laptops. Forget blaming the usual sources like Microsoft, or support, this is clearly a self-inflicted wound if you take a look at the application stack consuming a good percentage of your system’s resources.

Dock and undock? Best of luck with that. You’re in for at least a minute or more of zombie mode before the state change is recognized.

Standby? Good luck. Your notebook will continue to run in your bag despite selecting standby. It’s overheat or run out of battery which ever comes first.

If I were to be laid off, I'd return them but unwillingly. I have 2 systems from Dell, a corporate phone, and a few other items issued to me. I know for a fact that Dell can simply de-activate your machine's access to VPN's and such and it wouldn't exactly be difficult to wipe the computer clean and start fresh, if you wanted to.

The two systems I have are likely worth a combined $1100 at MOST. The phone is an iphone 10x, which obviously would have it's service cut but, you could theoretically put service onto it yourself (out of your pocket.) That phone is worth maybe 150.. The other device I have is worth closer to 1k I think and is the only thing I'd want to keep if possible. I'd say only about 100 people in the entire company have this device. I'd tell you what it is but I'd give myself away as to what org I'm in and what department I'm in..

But, what if a laid off person was to just not return their computer, badge, etc...?
