You know a publicly traded company lying about its actions is straight up illegal here in Aus. That would be classed as misleading investors. Also HP bricking devices remotely. Straight up illegal. Not sure how weak the consumer protections

Nothing. If the device isn't obvious in what's its used for maybe a quick sharpie note of button function but even that feels excessive. Most projects are sprawled out across some part of the shed. They might work they might not.

Oh I don't treat it like a secret. It's more that it's not known or understood by many users in how it actually affects the security posture of your organization. It's one of those commonly overlooked things.

Im at a crunch point. I either leap further into IT and obviously leverage AI for work much as I do today. But I have no tickets and am a jack of all IT trades but a master of none. In IT the competition is high and the job security is low.
