  • In my current job the old manager okayed working on our own devices.

    I would use my personal workstation to ssh into and do work on my work mac, did that for a few years. saved me disassembling my desk between uses every day or buying a costly KVM.

    They seem to be getting a lot more uptight about security these days (although the “you can work on personal devices” rule hasnt been explicitly rescinded) so i have stopped interaction between my personal devices and work devices.

    Having a M2 mac recently makes it easier, i can lie in bed and work pretty much all day on a single charge so my desk remains intact



  • are you using a datacentre IP?

    I’ve found that when i have my VPN connected it will get me to do like dozens of them. if my VPN isn’t connected it is usually just 1 or 2.

    Also when it’s in the cycle of prompting you for dozens of them, skip any like the one in the image above until you get one of the ones that has you select from multiple matching pictures. these seem to be the only ones that matter when it’s in that state.
