gollark: The headquarters' walls are filled with holes for no apparent reason.

gollark: Unlike GTech™, they have no products, and are working on a drone delivery system which doesn't... do anything... and wouldn't be useful if it did.

gollark: Their headquarters is a ridiculous maze the construction of which nearly bankrupted them (because they don't do concrete in-house, like wrong people), their broken laser "defenses" try and lase me while in my office, many of the doors are mysteriously missing, and another company stuck a giant blob on top of their roof.

gollark: I suppose PixelTech™ is generally not very competent.

gollark: Yes, I am definitely harmed by people claiming that "potatOS" is present in random binary files they're editing.
