As someone who doesn't know tor well, why be careful? Just the normal prudence when looking up xxx, or something specific to tor?

How much privacy would i be sacrificing to have my work email on my personal phone? in c/[email protected]

Appreciate the comment, unfortunately my employer has limited access to O365 apps. I have a slightly different use case than OP

A followup question, if you don't mind. I am running stock android 14 on a pixel 6. My main user account is my personal (nothing work related), and a second user account is my work profile, complete with phone-management software. The two accounts are based upon different Google accounts.

If my work were to remote wipe, I have assumed that would only affect the (second) user profile which has those apps, and not the main user account.

Do you know if that is correct?

This is great context, thanks.

A followup question, if you don't mind. I am running stock android 14, which offers multiple users. My main user account is my personal (nothing work related), and a second user account is my work profile, complete with phone-management software. The two accounts are based upon different Google accounts.

If my work were to remote wipe, I have assumed that would only affect the (second) user profile which has those apps, and not the main user account.

Judge Rules $400 Million Algorithmic System Illegally Denied Thousands of People’s Medicaid Benefits in c/technology

Agree with all your points. I just wanted to remind people to hate the architect (in this case politicians and insurers), not just the coder.

Alright team, I'm bringing the opposite opinion to this thread. Bring your pitchforks.

Two things :

Hanlon's razor. Consultants are not mensa candidates. They are ordinary people who sometimes do a shit job.
Complexity. Each state has its own wildly complex eligibility and availability rules. Each insurer within each state, equally so. As much as this article shits on Deloitte for having 20+ state contracts, that doesn't mean 1 common platform / common solution. People within the fediverse - being somewhat more tech inclined - should have some empathy for this

I hate Deloitte as much as the next guy, but why no hatred for the politicians (or special interest groups comprised of insurers) that wrote opaque state-based legislation? Speaking of insurers, why no hate for them? Whether private or public - they literally have a vested interest in denying coverage...

If we are going to throw stones, let's find the right villain.

Infamous $30 Logitech F710 called out in $50M lawsuit over Titan sub implosion in c/technology

"That doesn't explain why they used the wireless version of that Logitech instead of wired to control the thing they were literally inside."

Yes, that sarcasm is profound and deep.

In case my implied message is unclear, go fuck yourself.
