      It’s easy to avoid buying things from Amazon. It’s hard to avoid AWS. It would be insane to try to suss out what provider everyone that I buy stuff from uses, and their third party relationships. Regulation is better.

        Yep, try browsing with ublock origin blocking all Amazon domains. Lots of things break because AWS is so large.

        In the old days people used to have their own servers…

        And you can still buy them…

        And the cloud really isn’t cheaper…

        But whatever, it’s ubiquitous today. Maybe someday people will wake the F up.

    I really love to work from home. But I also understand IT security is dramatically complicated by user’s working on their private network connection or even private client devices. Teamwork also suffers noticably in some professions.

      It really isn’t.

          I work in telecomms, major strategic projects. I dont have an office to return to, for 9 years I have had no office. My computer can be wiped remotely amd requires 2fa to connect to the vpn.

          We have never had a security incident that wasnt someone’s laptop being stolen.

          Dont boot lick. This is not rocket science.

            So how did those laptops get stolen? Would that have been possible if their users worked on a local client at the office?

            Rocket science is a fucking joke compared to secure IT practices. You saying that, proves that you know neither well enough to participate in this discourse. Most users would operate more securely if their client device was also physically restricted. If you don’t understand that, that’s the reason you are not making decisions. I’m sorry to be so blunt.

            There are highly capable technical people that can securely work from home, but this is not the average user. If you don’t recognize that, you are probably just cheering for your own personal comfort right now. I get comfort, but don’t be blind to reality

    Seems like covid’s overall impact on society won’t be as long lived as we thought. The whole work from home thing was almost seen as revolutionary as it would save office space and expenses. But it seems companies care far more for control than even profit.
