"This applies to work-managed devices and doesnβt affect personal devices."
While still not a fan of it, this is why you use two phones.
My company tells us not to expect privacy on work devices, period.
A lot, or at least some, companies install root certificates on your devices and route traffic through a proxy over their VPN meaning even things that should be encrypted by TLS they can see.
My younger coworkers think i'm some kind of insane boomer for carrying two phones....
Younger generation typically has no concern for data privacy and how much data they're being milked of. There will be a time when they wish they listened.
In case anyone is reading this thinking "nah, there won't be a time I wish I listened," take it from me that I do. I worry a lot about the current political climate in the US and about talking about queer topics online. Like, obviously, today it sounds insane to worry about, but who fucking knows.
For fuck's sake, they're using period tracker apps to go after people for suspected abortions to charge them with "murder".
yes, but my point isnt to say "haha!! I told you so!".... also, data mining isnt less of a threat on a "personal" device... just less potential damage to your professional life.
Yup I agree.
I grew up saying that abput my own generation, and my parents, and their parents...
I carry two phones. Work provides me with one. It goes on DnD mode as soon as I clock out.
Yeah two phones two laptops are sadly becoming a necessity these days
Work provides a phone and laptop. Neither are touched after I clock out. But for the off-chance I need to do a work thing at home (filling out a forgotten time card entry, informing the team that I'm sick, etc), I have a separate and isolated "work" VLAN at home they can connect to.
That's why I also have a thunderbolt dock with built in kvm switcher and a dual laptop vertical stand π
I knew Kevin Gates was on to something
