Police officers arrested 18 people at worker-led protests at Microsoft headquarters Wednesday as the tech company promises an “urgent” review of the Israeli military’s use of its technology during the ongoing war genocide in Gaza.

Two consecutive days of protest at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington called for the tech giant to immediately cut its business ties with Israel.

    It would be good to also sabotage Microsoft from the inside if one theoretically were an employee at Microsoft.

    I dont know how computers work but surely many things can be done to cause problems.

    Sure you cant advertise it on social media but if its done right then only God would know.

      The problem is, there’s a lot of compartmentalization

      The people working on the Israel projects are probably going to be on board with what they’re doing, so I guess you could sabotage Windows a little?

      I mean honestly, with how many bugs are coming up in all the windows products, maybe this is happening. I figured it was just years of layoffs, but maybe some of it is intentional

        The monopolistic profit model means that maintenance and other “non-value-added activities” are often reduced to a minimum.

        I mean honestly, with how many bugs are coming up in all the windows products, maybe this is happening.

        It might be functionally impossible to tell the difference from the outside.
