    Well, yeah, if I worked at home I would use my personal computer for personal things and the workstation for work, it would be pristine. But alas, in the office there’s so much time I can spend pretending that I’m working because I finished my tasks before I implode.

    Some risks are necessary :)

    It’s not really about IT not knowing, but about being discreet enough that your boss doesn’t see your personal accounts logged in or even worse, to have two chrome profiles, both with obscure names, press the wrong one and to share the screen of saved tabs with Facebook, Instagram, pornhub… Yeah I’ve seen those bookmarks.

    It’s… Wtf… If you’re going to be that deranged, at the very least be discreet… Sigh.

      No, it’s zero-trust all the way down!

      All true, and I’m sure your IT doesn’t care as long as you’re not taking stupid risks

      If you’re going to be that deranged, at the very least be discreet

      I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… a folder full of photos of a sales rep’s feet taken under the table at a meeting… a bookmarked playlist of adult baby porn labelled “Potential Suppliers”… I watched a modded BitTorrent client try to fake VLAN tags for unrestricted Internet access. All those moments will be lost in time, like that expensive label printer from my locked desk drawer… time to get another coffee…
