Gaming laptops are a sham anyway. You are lugging a hunk of a laptop everywhere, on which you'll play games only in your home.
Youre not wrong but i had a job for awhile where i had about one day's worth of work (if i busted my butt) to do over 2 glorious, unsupervised days. Their IT was slackass too. They had their own machines on lock but i could bring my own in and look at reddit, porn, whatever.
I hated my job, really hated my boss, but i never got paid to fuck off quite as hard as i did there so I look back on those times warmly.
RIP mjollnir
That's not being slackass. You bringing in a machine to watch porn on is your supervisor's problem, not IT's.
I was told multiple places that the only thing they wanted filtered was malware sites. They have a C-level who wants to watch porn but don't want to pay for someone to set up access groups? Don't want to pay or give time to have someone lock down the network? Not my monkey, not my circus.
Of course it's come a long way since I was doing it. Those things took time. Now you just set up your access list based on directory services groups and click a few buttons. But it's still not my problem.
