Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to
My work has a 100% mandatory vpn and mitm proxy for ssl scanning. I just use parsec to view my laptop from my desktop and browse what I want on my actual personal computer

These are worse than useless. They are anti safety. If this box or its private keys get compromised ALL tls traffic of all employees is immediately plaintext.
Any company that buys one of these appliances from mcafee or whatever is asking for it (losing most/all their secrets)
That sort of thing is required for a lot of enterprise certifications. When you do work for government, healthcare, banking, etc. stupid "security" is mandatory for checking off compliance requirements. Not that any of it has to be in any way effective...
when breaking the internet and end-to-end encryption are part of any kind of "enterprise certification" that certification is worthless (or worse) and probably some kind of chinese or russian (or the CIA or whoever, certainly not your friend) psyop. Only a mindless idiot would implement it.
Oh I 1000% agree. But you try to convince my opsec colleagues
Don't forget the agents they install that take screenshots every 10 seconds!
Nothing to screenshot if all of my personal stuff is on a completely different pc
That doesn't mean someone isn't going to pull those up to reprimand you, or monitor your work.
There's privacy from personal things, then there's overbearing micro management who will literally track "Mouse hovering" and "Keyboard Idle Time" or how long you take to write an email.
Amingst the other creative ways they can try to keep you at a level "non promotable" status or whatever leverage to control you.
I've never had to suffer from it, I do my job, but as a systems admin/engineer for over 15 years, I've definitely worked at places that implemented it at our expense, or we had to set it up for our clients using it against their own staff.
Yep. Good point.
Luckily my work hasn't disabled the remote desktop application protocol. So I do the same, but without parsec.
Can't install parsec on the work computer, and the web app displays a black screen.
