Precautions you are taking as the world enshittifies

There probably should be a different thread for this - yesterday I had a call with a former colleague. He’s off to a Google conference in Vegas next month. I advised him to clean skin all his devices before crossing the border and to be choosy about what he logs back into. Especially making sure the password manager is clean. I’ve only ever done this for China in the past.

Not that it really matters, all our data is on the servers of US companies anyway, but the unrestricted right of CBP (and indeed most border officers anywhere in the world) to demand warranties and unrestricted access to your devices is pretty terrifying right now.

There's gonna be a big protest near me tomorrow, outside Glacier National Park. It's part of a nationwide campaign.

unfortunately I think Ed will need to make a new thread as moving threads between boards tends to break things

Now on 77
