This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Who does OP think is monitoring these searches? Also, if someone is monitoring and actually cares about this for some reason, how will OP not get caught?

This could be a search autocompletion that happens to get noticed by some other user on the device 6 months down the road. OP might come across it again in 2 years. IT might find it and point it out to a co-worker for a laugh.

Sowing insignificant chaos is how we brighten each other's day.

Reminds me of the time I was at work searching for a particular connector I needed.

serial female female cable

serial female female coupler

serial female female coupling

serial female female connector

And so forth. I didn't find the part I needed and so I had to solder it myself.

No one said anything but this was a company where one of our sales guys was apparently soliciting prostitutes using his work email and no one knew until he got fired for other reasons and they went through his email looking for customer communications.

That would have worked! I should have searched for

I think I have one around here somewhere...

our sales guy was apparently soliciting prostitutes using his work email

Isn't that basically the job description for sales?

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I had a sales guy once ask me what tablet he should purchase for watching porn. He was later fired for buying groceries with his P-card.

I mean... you should always assume that everything on a company-owned device is being monitored.

And yeah, just because there weren't immediate consequences doesn't mean there won't be any.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

All depends on how much you value your job

If you want to keep your job, assuming the company is omniscient is smart

In reality, most corporations are cutting staff all the time at this point. They might have automated systems looking for porn, but for stupid grug questions? Doubtful. If a human sees it? Will they fire you? Honestly, coin flip.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Correct.

But we don't need employees to audit your use of company devices - we have LLMs for that. We can always define what is "work related" and flag anything that doesn't match, or any web addresses that are outside the pre-approved list (it doesn't have to be blacklisting, we can do whitelisting too).

And yeah, they won't fire you right away... they'll just collect data, and use it to justify firing you when they decide that you cost too much.

And with how much companies like Microsoft are shoving AI features into everything, it's a constant battle for well meaning sysadmins to keep busybody management types from getting enough force together to push through enabling this shit.

They all see it as a "no manpower required" thing that can just be switched on and used as a feather in their cap. "Look! I did a thing! For free!"
