> twitter client, torrent client and a dozen of other everyday apps I don't install any of that in work machines, and I'd hope most devs don't either, specially if the company owns the device. If you really need those, why cannot you use the browser? > continuity and handoff Why do you need that for development? Even if your workflow requires it for some strange reason, why don't you use an alternative? There are plenty of ways to pass data between devices.

I think you are missing a point here. tl;dr: I don't have and don't want to have two PCs for two use cases. I have my personal macbook that I use for work (development) and everything else. I use it when I have to be at the office or when I want to work outside of my apartment. Needless to say I want my personal computer to have applications that I use. For both - work and ... not work. >> continuity and handoff >Why do you need that for development? I don't. I don't use a computer only for development (see above). But even during development something it can come in handy. For example when you are working on a service that has sms auth. Can I just put in 6 digits by hand? Sure. But having them being copied from you phone for you is very convenient.

  That is definitely not wise. Many companies lock down devices for good reason. For starters, to prevent employees doing that and risking the entire company.

    Many companies also take a screenshot of your screen every 10 seconds to "keep you in shape". I'm not taking part in this shit show thankfully. I've had my time in corporations that do this or similar stuff. Never again. And the only channel I'm connected to the company is the email and selfhosted gitlab. Now tell me how can a twitter client on my working machine harm this. Not in a fictional one in a life time scenario out of Mr Robot.

      Don't mix privacy and security. Privacy-invading policies have nothing to do with the discussion. As for examples, you have many, including ones discussed in HN regularly.
