Hi. My school just started issuing devices last year, and they have this Lightspeed spyware on them. Last year I was able to remove it by booting into Linux from a flash drive and moving the files to a separate drive and then back at the end of the year. This year I have heard from sources that they have ways of detecting someone booting from Linux so I am hesitant to do that option. My only other idea is to buy an old laptop off eBay that looks like it and install Linux on it. I could probably get one for about 50€. Does anyone have any cheaper ideas?
Oh also talking to IT isn’t an option.
Yeah this is exactly the way it works in the workplace.
And yet so many people store personal files on their corporate devices…
Yeah, how it is is always how it should be.
In the workplace, when you grow up (I’m not cutting you down I mean literally when you are older) you will be issued a work machine packed to the gills with network monitoring software.
Rule number one of being a saavy modern tech employee:
Don’t do shit but work on your work laptop. I plug it in to an Ethernet connection, disable Bluetooth and wifi, do my job, and have the rest of my life on other devices.
A second sub-part of this is that when you are on company grounds, never connect your phone to the wifi
