/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

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.
However many VPNs deployed in mid to large work environments are not just a VPN but a whole endpoint client that is filtering web access, etc and logging everything.
I know most people here would know the difference but I guess unsurprisingly most don't have a clue as they just call it "the VPN" even though its much more then that.
Yeah things can get messy. Zero trust and EDR bring in complications that wouldn't be clear to an end user.
Its best to not do anything "weird" on a work computer, but a lot of times of still won't be a real issue. It all just depends.
Ohhhh this explains how my router can tell me how much traffic we use for, say, Teams. I've wondered about that.
