    I wonder if McAfee changing their name to Trellix to escape how much the general public hates them will work better than Comcast rebranding as Xfinity.

      The general public doesn’t hate McAfee that much, so I’d bet it’ll work. Heck, I work in IT and I didn’t even know about the rebrand (mostly because I engage with McAfee as little as possible).

            Yes, but I like this because it ingrains in people’s heads that when they hear Trelix they should think McAfee, to make that connection. Like with Xfinity, they don’t want that connection made, they want people thinking “Oh I don’t have that crappy Comcast service, I have Xfinity”. I’ll be saying it this way to show people that they’re the same thing
