Don’t use a work computer to search for weird things.
I used to use the company Wi-Fi to look for other jobs every time they threatened a change I didn’t like.
This concept some how goes over the head of people doing illegal and immortal things.
Immortal wouldn’t be a problem, you’d think. Maybe if you were the Highlander.
This is me
What, and let my
ISPVPN provider know how sick I am?Nah, that sound like a work problem.
Geordi’s Tip: Use a separate Holodeck for … personal things… to avoid embarrassing situations.
But that’s… what they’re for
tech tip: don’t ever do anything non work on work devices, use your personal devices instead
Best to use your friends device
Better: Isolate your workspace in a Virtual Machine and do the search on your actual OS.
Best: Make them get you a fucking work device.
If I’m doing work it’s not on my own device. You want me to sign in and monitor me? Cool cool cool when’s my laptop arrive?
Riker: forgets
Data (who admins the ship’s uplink with Starfleet): “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that.”
Commander, please refrain from making such crude queries on the ship computer. My most recent security review of the ships logs resulted in a short circuit in my modesty routines and 3 hours 17 minutes and 4 seconds of system downtime.
Most companies run split tunnel VPNs, I.E they only route work traffic over the VPN itself. All other traffic, like traffic straight out of the internet, just goes over your regular connection.
This limits the bandwidth the VPN has to handle, especially important with people streaming so much.
This isn’t everywhere though. If you don’t know if they use split tunnel or not, assume they don’t and are logging all your traffic.
Also, IT folk generally do not give a fuck about what you’re doing if it doesn’t involve malware, but there may be automated systems in play that take it out of their hands.
Ohhhh this explains how my router can tell me how much traffic we use for, say, Teams. I’ve wondered about that.
No!
Absolutely not.I want them to be uncomfortable, maybe get a little ptsd.
I want them to look me in the eye and explain what they didn’t like.Yeah, I thought so.
Remember, always keep your browsing history so fucked up nobody will want to ever even think about what they just read or saw.
It’s them who wanted to look after all.Brought to you by Q VPN:
I’m guessing any time the Federation equivalent of the FBI gets a ping for whatever Riker is searching for, they just groan and go back to what they were doing.
i got a burner phone just for that
