I tell you: whenever they offer you a Mac laptop to work with, refuse it and choose a Linux one, where you and only you have the control.

This the worst fuck up ever

Sorry, are you saying it's impossible to have a Linux laptop configured such that a corporation retains control & not the user?

I.e., such that They have root & You don't?

And if both Macs & Linux can be configured such that the You are subject to Them, and both can configured such that only You have control, what is the difference you're getting at?

but until now, unless you have remote ssh enabled and you know your worker's laptop's IP, there's no service for Linux to remote wipe the laptop, like in Mac.
