Does your IT team use key loggers or other employee monitoring software at your company? I hear some big trillion dollar companies do this. Is that true?

That's right. And it should work as advertised in the documentation. Anyway, I was responding to the "cell networks don't allow" part of your comment. Cell networks don't have a say in what I do at IP/TCP layer

It is quite plain that Apple never really listens to the user feedback in a traditional way (and rightly so). Their business strategy for Mac hardware and MacOS (specifically, pricing strategy) may not align with what most early and advance

On the surface, compared to Android, iOS is much more secure. It seems they ensure app sandbox is not violated by any app developer. No app can steal another apps data. You can prevent/revoke access to contacts, photos, sms, location,

In India, most mobile apps have phone number for username and OTP instead of password. Makes perfect sense for mobile apps. Except when OTP doesn't arrive due to congested sms networks. Or that your account gets hacked with sim takeove

First thing that comes to mind is, are these scanners safe – i.e., do they have any kind of active radio wave source? How reliable are they? Can they malfunction and emit harmful radiation? Is it health certified for kids, adults and pet
