Xela Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 A lot of press about TikTok in recent days and the fact that it will soon be banned/blocked from Government devices. Why the **** was it allowed on there anyway?! My work device is locked down tighter than Fort Knox because of the data I have access to. I can't believe official devices for the UK Government aren't like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidly hands over incriminating messages to the press. He's attacked over the content. Can't see many people wondering why government business is being conducted on foreign 3rd party platforms not bound by the official secrets act though. And to be fair little johnny did just sent me a moving image of a dancing cat. So I understand you're one of them tin foil hat conspiracy types xela but I really wanna press play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a video the other day, it was one of those day in a life sort of videos. Anyway it was a HGV driver and he was basically showing how he cooks food in his cab and where his bed is and all that stuff. Fairly boring stuff. But he had a video game console set up on the back of his cab where he sleeps. He said “I’ll play some video games for an hour to unwind before I go to sleep” Fired up the console and started playing Truck Driver Simulator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if you are trying to make things secure, or engaging in security theatre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lehman Brothers, sub-prime investment banker simulator is great. Plenty of gear, prostitutes and securitisation side games, where you hide all the bad debts at the bottom of good debts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
