        at a recent job i handled backups and restores for the company and in the process of restoring requested files from laptops you see everything else they have saved too. seemed like pretty much everyone was using their work laptop as their one and only computer.

        If it’s your only computer, you may not have a choice, and we’re talking about kids here, who are stuck with what their parents do or don’t buy them. I can easily see a teen in a lower-income household being stuck between a rock and a hard place here.

          My son uses his school provided chronebook to do the shit he wouldn’t do on computers that I administer …. Their “threat” model varies wildly from ours.
