    I am becoming increasingly more appreciative of the fact that I have root access to “my” company provided work device.

      My boss went so far as to buy Macs because we have “special needs” (we don’t) because otherwise we’d be forced to use the corporate locked down crap. I’m not a big fan of macos (prefer Linux), but root access sure is nice.

        Wait till they learn about Jamf Pro and Mosyle 😜 (Well… granted they also have to deploy it correctly after…)

          They did make us install Crowdstrike after 3-ish years of no spyware. We still have root access, they can just see every time I update my packages.
