Don't get me started on MDM and the like. It's a cancer for machines and causes all sorts of issues. I understand that some industries have certain compliance that either forces them to do this (or makes them think they need to) but I will not work in those industries. Send me a clean MBP and trust me to do my job. In fact, more and more I'd rather just a stipend and I'll buy my hardware. I've managed to effectively do this at my last 2 companies. Sorry but I know my needs better than anyone else and I'd honestly rather pay out of pocket and make it up on my salary than work on underpowered hardware.

- joshstrange 5y agoMobile device management, software that runs on your computer that talks back to a command/control-type server where your IT Dept can monitor the machine and push software/updates to your machine.
- ehutch79 5y agoMDM itself, on macs is pretty lightweight. The vendor used to mdm might be installing unneeded stuff, but the protocol isn't heavy. On macs MDM is also needed for a bunch of enterprise setttings. like pre authorizing apps to do stuff, or remote locking 'missing' machines.
