I'm sure we went through a phase at the day job where the (windows, ugh) machine was unable to execute apps not in the approved (unwritable) locations; local admins can execute a file saved specifically in C:\windows\tmp or so, just for installs. I'm not sure that's still in-place after the 10->11 downgrade, but I wouldn't be surprised. We're pretty locked-down, and while we can request exemptions for work-derived stuff, we have a large agreement confirming we never use the work gear outside of work stuff so I haven't needed to test the boundaries lately.
I work remotely and there's no such reg covering side-gig or home gear used for day-job stuff; can't be, if you think about it. So I KVM the pretty monitors and comfy keyboard over to the work box in the 9-5 and leave it absolutely untouched outside of that. It's even in its own DMZ because we're a small section of a larger shitbag global exploitation company and they could demand some whackadoo spy shit on us without us knowing, until we find out and tell the union.
So.
That's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, and hit the merch table in the lobby.
