The amount of self pwning that goes on in both corporate and personal devices these days is insane. The amount of games that want you to install kernal level anti-cheat is astounding. The amount of companies that have centralized remote surveillance and control of all devices, where access to this is through a great number of sloppily managed accounts, is beyond spooky.
- padjo 2y agoI mean centralized control of devices is great for the far more common occurrence of Bob from accounting leaving his laptop on the train with his password on post-it note stuck to the screen.
- Grimblewald 2y agoAbsolutely, there are many reasons for why it's useful and helps keep the IT department smaller. However, there could be a little more paranoia around how access is managed, which is possible to do without severely impacting the usability of the tool and without making work unnecessarily difficult.
- andix 2y agoExactly. It's ridiculous to open up all/most of a companies systems to such a single point of failure. We install redundant PSUs, backup networks, generators, and many more things. But one single automatic update can bring down all systems within minutes. Without any redundancy.
