Comment on How to run programs sandboxed on a work pc

Only do work on work devices. This is a quick way to lose a job. Always assume the company sees everything that’s happening on their device. No way around it, and any attempt to get around it will raise the alarm. Just do the music/podcasts/etc… on another device. Why “need to be able to run it on their work PC”?
Oh yeah id never try to circumvent it, thats dumb. Im good friends with all the IT guys and I help them with certain issues sometimes (a lot of them follow the IT rules but arent really tech people if that makes sense)
But if I can have a solution that we just access on our nas via web browser, that’d be fine.

Flashback to when I worked as a Mech Eng, I also ‘ran’ (term used loosely) the IT dept as well. Small fledgling company and I had the most experience. We would issue our service techs a laptop and a camera (back before phone cameras were popular) to use in the field to document. I’ve had to have a few conversations with individuals about non-work content on work computers. Some conversations were awkward as it dealt with porn. I’m not a prude, but I care none about your sexual proclivities. I had mentioned this to one of the principals who had told me to just issue the laptops without any lock features, but he later rescinded that and allowed me to lock down everything.
But yeah, non-work on work devices is a foul.
