Buy a Mac for each of these guys to use at home. Put the Linux distro you're using on the Mac in a VM. Task them with setting up the machine to run remotely on the corporate network under both OSs. They'll have fun learning, and will then be prepared to support others.
The gift is also a nice way to reward them for their years of service.
I've had Kaspersky Internet Security for a couple of years now. It's my understanding that Russian law is similar to Chinese law about software--to sell in those countries, you must provide the government with your source code. I have no doubt the Russian spy agencies found an exploitable vulnerability in that source code and have been using it.
I'm no more worried about that than the NSA's covert knowledge of vulnerabilities in Windows. And I place little credence in anything that Israeli intelligence says.
KIS works very well on my system and doesn't slow it down. I accept the privacy risk, because information privacy is pretty much non-existent in these times, except perhaps for Tor. I don't keep work materials on my home system for exactly that reason.
I'm going to support Kaspersky by keeping it on my system at least until my license expires. I'd hate to see a quality company have to shut down for lack of sales from an incident that wasn't their fault.
Windows 10 recent versions, including the Anniversary release, apparently install a corrupted version of opencl.dll. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem, but hasn't fixed it to date.
I use madVR as my video renderer in all my video players. Certain settings use OpenCL, and madVR correctly uses the opencl.dll that come with the graphics card drivers. I have one player, though, that must be loading the corrupt version first, preventing madVR from loading the good one. The devs don't seem to be interested in the issue, so I'm just using other players.
How about a fix, MS? You've been aware of this for months.
