  • In theory, sure - it’s only a concern if you have a work-managed device.

    In concept, though, there are more parties with partial control/access to your device from whom you only have a tenuous protection at-best.

    Normalizing the practice of automatic archival of encrypted communication is bad. I don’t think that’s a particularly spicy take. “They say it won’t be used except in these specific circumstances” is no better than a fig-leaf, especially when those types of promises have been repeatedly broken.











  • I consider it to be a function of when I grew up with video games and how my family restricted them broadly, but I have honestly never understood the appeal of competitive online games that require intense anti-cheat controls.

    I grew up playing largely single player games, and the few online games I payed were limited to ones I played in private lobbies with friends i knew.

    Any game that requires this level of policing for competitive play is an instant turn off for me. I realize I’m in the minority here, but I have no problem with a console that doesn’t support kernel level anticheat- to the contrary i find it to be a huge advantage
