But forcing Google to either firewall or divest of things such as Maps, GMail, Drive, Docs, etc, makes some sense. Let them act as independent lines of business, to enforce privacy features, and basically stop doing evil across the enterprise.
Make each service/feature/app do their own evil. We can deal with the lizards easier than the dragon.
As opposed to a 'Right to be Honest', where any of various services would continue to provide factual, accurate information about individuals that such individuals would rather they did not?
Wow. This still somewhat amazes me, people would want really unflattering, or derogatory, or prejudicial info about themselves suppressed, but the early examples seemed, IIRC, to be public figures wanting to 'delete' reporting on convictions, as one example.
Sure. I just say 'no'. But it's the EU, and be sure this is to serve the rich and connected.
Projection isn't yet as wonderful to view as OLED screens.
OLED screens that simply 'go away' have huge appeal. First, they let you have that wall back. For other things. Second, it's practical to deliver a rollable 200 inch screen, while a fixed 200 inch screen might not fit through your door, and would be pretty fragile. I know, nobody needs a 200 inch screen. Nobody needs an 80 inch screen either. And the minimized mode is excellent.
No one asked for Walkman cassette players. OR CDs. DVDs. Nope. Especially Walkman players, that was a market Sony created. There were maybe 100 skaters like me that strapped an underdash cassette player to a bundle of NiCd batteries, put on those Pro-4AA cans to isolate us from the real world, and limped around like we were cool. Sony figured something out that really didn't exist, and it was 'damn, i need that'. Out of nowhere. Rollable screens will be the same thing. Just not Sony.
Most jurisdictions will just take and search your machine. Encryption by itself isn't even adequate. Cloud storage just means they ask for your password.
Against the State there is little defense. But against theft you have to encrypt.
" it was Pilate, a Roman, who proclaimed Jesus as the "King of the Jews. "
To add to the depth of this discussion, Pilate probably came to that because Jesus was claimed to be the 'Son of God', calling God 'Father', a blasphemy to the ruling Jewish authorities, Pharisees and Sadducees. The declared Him deserving of death, but being proscribed from executing criminals etc, gave Him to the Romans, claiming He was leading a rebellion against the Roman authority. Close, that description.
Of course, Jesus actually answered Pilate, variously translated as 'Yes, it is as you say'. (Matthew 27:11), and Pilate asked a crowd which of two prisoners should be set free to celebrate a festival, and they chose Barabbas. And so, Pilate washed his hands of the affair. On the cross, even 'chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. "He saved others", they said, "he can't save himself! He's the King of Israel! Let him come down from the cross..' (Matthew 27:41-42)
So actually the Hebrew authorities mocked Him with that appellation. Huh.
It's about the debit function. Most consumer accounts don't permit that in the US.
Oh, wait, actually, they do.
Why not ask the question - why, why does an employee need payroll ACH data on their laptop? Really, why?
Oh, and of course, in my work this would have been a nothingburger. My laptop has an encrypted HD, this data would always have been delivered either by secure email (a web based gizmo, encrypted and password protected access) or encrypted cloud drive which grants access by invitation only, and the file itself would be encrypted.
Unless someone ignored at least two different policies and procedures, and the HD encryption would be difficult to overcome, being a corporate implementation with certificates and the whole schmeel.
Really, so many fails, but the one that stands out was the excess data. Overall, I cannot imagine having similar data on my laptop. It would be on my corp. cloud drive. I do not want to be on the front page of the fishwrap for this.Ever.
Yeah. Encouraging and empowering your employees to excel, develop, and take on new, more fulfilling, and more rewarding roles. and watching them move on to those new roles, really sucks. Really, really. You have to hire new employees to train up, empower, and encourage to develop their careers, leaving you and making room for a new crop.
Live is 'unfair'.
ps- where I work we have regular career development activities, encouraging entry-level team members to take the leap and become leaders. That causes turnover.
Ultimately this is the general 'unfair' complaint.
Corporations are often 'unfair' in some manner. Making a profit is described by some as 'unfair'. Self-interest is similarly 'unfair'.
Where I work the contingent labor policy changed years ago and discourages apparent permanent employment of temporary or contingent workers. But...
These contingent workers cannot receive some rewards or incentives. They may be included in team or all-hands meetings, but not in corporate town halls or strategy meetings. They generally would not be hired for such strategic positions. Almost any pay range would be eligible for a contingent worker, but within that range they would not be eligible for adjustments, but limited to the contract rate. Long-term or 'apparently' permanent positions would eventually be converted to FTE. They are subject to all FTE restrictions regarding data security, confidentiality, etc, and have access to the employee complaint process, including ethics complaints and what would ordinarily be called an advocate, for any issue, especially workplace safety, harassment, and legal compliance issues.
Oh, and we just got a report on pay. A review of pay records revealed that pay differences related to sex (or gender for you who don't understand the distinction) were less than 1%. Women are paid at least 99% of men for similar roles and responsibilities, and identical job titles, and there was no significant or discernible difference in pay based on sex (or gender). Yes, probably differences between FTEs and contingent workers, but when I was a temp I know my contract rate due to a minor slip-up of emails, and so knew how my agency was profiting. Hey, I was paid well enough.
But there are companies that will use contingent workers to flexibly staff projects that come and go, those that have an actual end, or that have variable labor demands. It's not predictable for the workers, but the alternatives have their drawbacks, like never bothering with the project at all.
FB can't even police the websites that offer for sale a $700 3dPrinter for $60, and change their website daily, sometimes more often.
You expect them, and Google, and the rest, to figure out what is a wild eyed fabricated conspiracy theory? Ha.
And then if you expect them to censor content, you've made them publishers. Responsible. And if they do, in fact, happen to not like you very much, you disappear from their pages. Poof. You're not anything at all.
I actually can tell the difference between wacko conspiracy theory, s^%t disturbers making stuff up to cause problems, and outrageous but true reporting. I suspect the vast majority of people can. The rest still keep George Nori on for background reinforcement, and they never ever caused trouble before, so just let it go. If Alex Jones seems as credible to you as Jim Acosta, the problem isn't Alex Jones. And the problem isn't solved by censoring HIM.

Are YOUserious?
No it's not, but I understand your confusion.
If you walk next to your walls, yeah.
Actually, though rollable screens make putting the TV in the middle of the room practical. Lets the coffee table off the hook for your bleeding shin.

Her employer may even require the laptop be encrypted. And data secured - backed up adequately.
*whoosh*
Ditto. I don't get the NorwayNazi connection.
Oh yeah, there isn't one. Really, people, stop this.
..because this is rent-seeking of the highest order.
Honestly, my cables do not need to be signed. I just need to exercise some discrimination and buy from reputable manufacturers.
Stay anonymous. It suits you.

And, most importantly, when they've gathered this information, they think it is THEIRS.
And that is what needs to be changed.

Um, no janitorial service?
I do understand the need to pick up after others before you leave, but that's a generational marker. I suffer from it also...
"I use a standing desk and alternate between sitting on an "
Oh, so you sort of use a standing desk. To sit at occasionally.
It's certainly better than windshield time.
And the cost benefit of building treadmill generators to power.. oh, wait, you know this already. Sorry.
Ditto, ditto, ditto.
And the corporate VPN, necessary to preserve confidentiality, not being an improvement on network performance.
You think it matters if they are in Mumbai or Billings? You think that packet delay is caused by the fiber under the Pacific Ocean?
