      You joke, but I’ve actually been responsible for a coder getting shown the door for running a coin miner on his work laptop.

      In his defense, cyber security at that company was crap for a long time. After a ransomware outbreak, they started paying attention and brought some folks like myself in to start digging out. This guy missed the easy out of, “hey that’s not mine!” The logs we had were spotty enough that we would have just nuked the laptop and moved on. But no, he had to fight us and insist that he should be allowed to run a coin miner on his work laptop. Management was not amused.

    I would watch this. Especially if it was an angry Brit, rather than a dramatic American. And even more if it didn’t keep replaying the same 5 minutes of telly before and after each ad break. And even more if it didn’t have an ad break every 10 minutes that lasted 5 minutes.

    Management: “But the coin miners are the only ones maintaining the server, if it wasn’t for that it would have died long time ago”

    For the small niche that would find it comprehensible, that would be gold. Maybe it would work as a YouTube channel.

    The trick is that software companies and their clients tend to be more publicity-averse than restaurants, and for Kitchen Nightmares they need to find ones that will straight-up agree to be made an ass of to get on TV.

    Just talked to a woman from a company in the same holding as mine. They still run their computers on windows xp. They’re in health care and deal with sensitive, confidential patient data.
