China too - a friend’s dad works in chip manufacture & flies regularly from the UK to China - he leaves his personal phone at home and gets issued a new phone by his company every time he goes, which is wiped when he returns.
- kazinator 12y agoAnd now consider the bitter irony of your "China too".
- manicdee 12y agoI am not sure I understand the irony of comparing China to an authoritarian state. ELI5?
- spacemanmatt 12y agoThe bitter irony is, when talking about authoritarian states, as Americans, we didn't used to reflexively include our own country.
- kazinator 12y agoI think manicdee was pouring on added irony there.
- bigiain 12y agoI know a few people who've worked at (different) places which have a rule that says "any hardware you've taken to China is never allowed on the corporate network again". They get "burner" laptops and phones before leaving, and dispose of them when they come home (usually by giving them to family/friends or selling them on eBay).
- ryan-c 12y agoI have a close friend who worked at a place that had that policy for China and France, along with no VPN access from those countries.
