    Oh, wait until you get a job in most offices. Microsoft, Microsoft everywhere.

    BYOD with Linux? “We can’t install the company’s spyware on it, get that security risk out of here.”

        For the user or the company? Assuming the user isn’t a moron with computers?

        Edit: guess im out of the loop as a contractor who generally only does BYOD with my linux machine

          For the company, and no one should ever assume for a moment that everyone has their guard up at all times and is infallible.

    I am so looking forward to my daughters to become students. Definitely going to discuss this topic through with every person I have to. I am so not going to use WhatsApp or whatever similar software again. If there’s no other solution, they can call me or write a letter :D

      Yeah but if you don’t have brightwheel or seesaw or whatever the fuck, you won’t be getting important notifications. They only only call when you’re late for pickup or your kid shit so bad you have to take them home. Some of these are tied to billing as well. Don’t want to use My School Bucks? No aftercare or cafeteria breakfast/lunch. Sack lunch only.

      It’s a huge pain but in many cases there’s no way around it.

      I’m aware the original subject matter of this post is different, but the walled garden apps that you have to use no matter what start as soon as they enter preschool

        I don’t know any of these apps and I don’t know if they are used in Europe too, but if I really have to use some of these apps (and I understand that can absolutely happen), there will be an old/cheap phone laying around with these apps installed, they won’t be on my primary phone.
