GOM/Tech rant: our work now requires any BYOD to have encryption on the disk. Yeah sure, that'll keep the Russians at bay; my gaming PC in my WFH office that never even connected to the work network was the key weakness in bringing down the whole company.
Fuck off.
Bit dumb to allow BYOD in the first place if that is the risk appetite.
Do they use BYOD to save their own costs? If so then they should piss right of in telling you what to do with your personal kit.BYOD has been in place for a few years since we moved to Google Business suite.
But IT Security clearly ran out of things to do recently as they've been running through the entire estate from PCs to cloud to anything connected.
I just don't see how, when they've got a password policy in certain areas that wouldn't pass muster in 2015, they're jumping up and down about this.
Is it virtual desktop environment? If so then isn't that environment separate from your own? ie you cant move files between the two.. That's how the ones I have previously worked with have been.
The only way the at information gets onto your disk is if you break policy and send it out and back (looking at you Hillary) -

I know what you mean, but it is fully browser-based in terms of using Google (Mail, Docs, Sheets, Cloud Platform etc) so no effective OS - access everything from a BYOD via Chrome.

Exactly. And why the fuck would I when it is useless to me on a PC at home? I have a work laptop that has disk encryption and the necessary VPN for any cloud apps I'm not allowed to reach through my home setup. But I only use that when I go into the office because fuck disrupting my home office setup with my sweet HP Omen 15 that is 5 times as grunty.

Tell them it would slow down your read/write speeds for your personal use device to be unacceptably slow, so you’ll need them to compensate you for the cost of a machine that does it at acceptable speed. Flash them a quote for a new overspecced Mac. Then trouser the cash and buy a PS5.

Movember.
Fuck. Off. Not shaving your top lip for charity is like me only wanking with my left hand for charity. You aren’t achieving shit, or suffering shit.
Stupidest idea ever.
I'm as grumpy as fuck and I don't really get why you're getting so worked up about this one. If it raises money then who cares? I'd rather grow a mo than not eat for 40 hours to raise money for charity. If you can get people to pay and not suffer shit then that's way more sensible to me.

Plus you get to look like a porn star/sex offender/Tom Selleck/Sean Connery/Burt Reynolds/Terry Wright/Hulk Hogan depending on what cards you get dealt in terms of mo growing ability.
Win/win

Exactly. You are asking people to pay you to do something you enjoy that takes minimal effort.
If you want my charity moo la, you need to earn it.

Would your attitude change if we brought in Fanuary for the girls?

I'm with the Rager here. It's lazy shit.
Go without booze for a month (fuck that) , go run/walk some crazy stuff, sure, I'll pay that.
But be lazy and just don't shave for a month? Really?
Is there another charity where I can not wear deodorant for a month, anyone care to sponsor me for that?

If I grow a mo I look like a taller version of my dad so my wife has banned it

I think it’s 100% now. I haven’t seen the insane chicks who actually frequented this forum for ages now.

Oh piss off with your soap box.
I’ve run marathons for charity.
Excuse me for thinking the months that took is worth more than just not shaving your top lip and having a laugh for a month.
The old I donated to your marathon, can you donate to my month of not shaving is pretty insulting and that’s my point.
-
@MajorRage does it really matter what youve done to raise money?....the point is the money for a good cause isn't it?...or is it really just a competition, who tried harder?
-
@Kiwiwomble remember that time you walked across Oz to raise awareness and funds for your charity and I gave you fifty bucks?
Well, I’m going to limit myself to 2 beers a day this week for my charity, care to repay the favour?
-
@MajorRage ....if its going to charity, then yeah...ideally we woulnd't have to do anything...people would just give what they could to good causes
you really sound like you only do these things for the credit and now you're annoyed because you could have done less
