Surely not. But also many employees won’t even ask for it, and change will only happen if people care about it.

So first, raise awareness, and naturally, implement those things at any companies you manage or own.

I’m not saying quit your job and become homeless if your employer won’t corporate with you on the issue. Everyone should think about how this could potentially affect them and what they can do within the constraints they operate in, though.

As someone else in this thread said, a separate (VLAN, guest) network for work devices, reasonable access rules etc. can go a long way. Eventually, I would like this to become unacceptable though.

Some context:

After Elmo’s venture into posting anime stuff on Twitter, this feels rather tame I guess. Or I’m just too jaded to care about this timeline any longer.

No, have the company buy a laptop, and if necessary, also have them buy the hardware that allows for proper network separation, if not already available.

Just another thing to be aware of.

I know it is somewhat of an accepted practice, and a lot of people lack the means or the knowledge to handle it any other way, but I’d still like to raise awareness that you’re basically inviting a foreign actor into your network.

The days were people would trust corporations, including their employers, to be generally benevolent and to do the right thing are long over.

This is absolutely correct. Heck, you’re free to deny that based on any reasoning, maybe the shoddy icon of the work app doesn’t match your phone wallpaper.

The phone is your private property, if an employer requires an app to be installed to do your job, they can provide a phone.

I would also never let corporate IT manage a device, e. g. a laptop connected to my private network at home.

Preliminary evidence for one-trial social learning of vervet monkey alarm calling

I was in Georgia (the country) a few years back and visited a flea market, where, to my delight, several guys were selling a lot of Russian made tubes. I was inclined to buy a few, but didn’t have an opportunity to research the models on the spot, plus the hassle of taking back glass tubes in my luggage was eventually not worth it.

Still, it’s endearing to know that they’re still around, apart from maker projects and overpriced retro hardware.

I watched a few videos before I realized Bobby Fingers is Mr. Chrome, and it made me unreasonably happy.

I don’t know what you think you’re seeing, but the airport is on the other side of the street.

I’ll let you know what I was seeing:

That’s an airport sign pointing the The Circle and they Hyatt airport hotels at Zurich airport. The whole complex is part of the Zurich airport, so I really have no idea what you are talking about. I mean, that’s literally how The Circle advertises itself:

I don’t doubt that there are also locals present, that’s how an airport works, after all. Honestly, we might just have a different opinion what constitutes being part of the airport though.

If it’s right across the street, why are there signs pointing to the different terminals in the building?

Honestly, I was about to comment how it’s kinda sad that people gather at a temple of capitalistic worship to watch a game (and an ugly one at that). I didn’t do it because my next thought was: hey, what if that’s their only option to experience a community for something they might enjoy and I left it at that. I mean come on, unless you’re kid and it’s the 80s or 90s, a mall is about the most soulless place on this earth.

Now I’m kinda glad it’s mostly just a bunch of travelers waiting at an airport that would otherwise miss the game.

I am on my 4th personal TUXEDO laptop, never had any issues. I actually started giving them to the devs at my company, no complaints so far.

They don’t offer my choice of OS, and I wouldn’t use a preinstalled OS anyway, so I can’t comment on that.

Oh look, its Fabio.

Technically, wouldn’t you need the guy 10 minutes in the direction of the rain cloud to have turned it on when you go on a hike? Makes the battery saving argument kinda moot I guess, you should get the notification anyway, if enough people in your area are providing sufficient data for the short term forecast.

Now in order to make that happen, people should participate if they’re using the feature, but that’s almost a moral argument I guess.

Anyway, would still be nice if iOS / Android had more fine grained permission controls.

Oh, tell me about it. Someone in my household has a habit of regularly creating watermelon that tastes like onion.

I’d also decrease the damage a bit if actually used as a bludgeoning weapon.

Modern fridges have compartments with seals that keep the moisture a lot longer, designed particularly with vegetables and fruit in mind.

I was thinking of getting an air fryer, but I was missing additional applications. I think you might have convinced me.

Honestly, I often like a fadeout, e. g. keeping a slow bass beat around, fade everything else out slowly, sounds like a heart beating its last beats. Super cliché, but I like it.

Herzog went to an airport, claimed he was a veterinarian and stole around 300 monkeys for the final scene that they later simply released into the jungle. I’m pretty sure I’m not okay with that, but then again, that was 50 years ago. I believe Herzog had also stolen the camera for that movie.

Yeah, wanted to comment exactly that. You could literally watch him become crazier with every upload. At first I did overlook the odd comment, but he eventually went full nutjob and I had to unsubscribe.
