  • The main risk on company laptops is confidential data on the machine itself or any access the machine has to internal resources, so most locks are designed to be hard agaist that. The device itself tends to have more “bypassable” protection.

    By which I mean: If the machine is locked down, it’s usually possible to clear and reset the lock somehow as long as you’re fine losing the data on it.

    The specifics vary, but try looking up the model and instructions for resetting and wiping the BIOS/UEFI and see if that has any hurdles.












  • Resistance to shifting grammar annoys me.

    Educated linguists know really well that language changes over time. It is natural and expected. There are also living valid variations of grammar outside standardized “book” grammar.

    People who are zero educated just go with whatever.

    People who are half educated juuuust enough to be smartasses but not enough to be smart will say shit like “I don’t know, can you?” in response to “Can I go to the bathroom”. Or pretend an emphasized negation - aka double negative - can be interpreted as a positive.
