there are absolutely controls you can turn on for macs that will do that. I have locked down employees computers because they couldn't be trusted.

- saagarjha 6y agoThat’s the point! There are no similar controls in iPhone, you just get the locked experience by default.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoI'm always curious about this attitude. Why did you employ them if you felt you couldn't trust them?
- Tushon 6y agoPeople being good at anything else (let's say, accounting) is not correlated with safe/smart computer use habits. If you can prevent a lot of turmoil by not letting them install arbitrary programs and still keep them happy and working well on their main role, why get rid of an otherwise good employee?
- ehutch79 6y agoVery good question!
- gamacodre 6y agoI think it's useful to distinguish between types of trust. You might trust a mill operator with $5 million worth of automated equipment that has a well-documented UI backed with years of training and industry support. However, you might not trust that same operator with unfettered control of a $2000 general-purpose networked computing device that can silently leak company secrets and offer a foothold to attackers inside your firewall _even if the operator does nothing obviously wrong_.
