Indeed. After a couple of years of using Linux at work because no one gave shit what I used as long as I got my work done, a few weeks back I was given a new Windows PC and told I had to use it, because the company now cares about cybersecurity and everyone has been 'upgraded' to Win11 and Office 365.

I had an argument with my boss where he was trying to stop people checking out source code to company laptops because they could be lost. My retort was that the company uploaded all it's company documents, spreadsheets, and other data to the cloud including employee personal data, and that was far for likely to experience a data breach. Those breaches would result in legal issues for the company, rather than a slight embarrassment.

He was apoplectic. How dare I question company policy.
