     @chris @alda get it replaced, I’d bet on there being a real hardware issue

     @chris @alda I have 4 systems in the house, 3 m series laptops and one older intel and all of them are getting weeks of uptime between OS updates with zero odd software crashes

     @dustinrue @chris I've worked in warranty services. It's is very difficult to reproduce some things, especially if they require real-world workload to happen.

     One of my old machines had a GPU glitch, but it's not like I'm willing to lose my machine for a week for them to tell me there's nothing wrong with it.

     @chris @dustinrue The keyboard issues were the last straw for me. I know they've improved and will accept it if any future employer insists on me having a Mac, but I will not spend my own money on their products in the future.

     @chris @dustinrue @alda I’ve been having issues with my work machine similar to this. Personal machines are fine. I think it’s all the corporate spyware that’s installed causing problems.

     @alda @chris yea that's unlucky but you are basically stuck. I would dump it and get something else because you're wasting time (and money) fucking with it.

     (my apologies, I'm feeling extra spicy today because I'm working with Azure and it is my kryptonite)

     Meanwhile, Lenovo sends someone wearing an IBM polo shirt to meet you in your office to replace your Bluetooth/WiFi module when it starts glitching out.

     @chris @ramsey @alda oh yea, I didn't think of that. I could see that being an issue but more so if others are experiencing it
