        The moment i got my hands on it i wiped it and installed linux, they haven’t had any work related to me except the work they’ve created for themselves

          Changes in TOS, vulnerabilities, just to name the two biggest. Also, asset management is a must in any mid and large companies. For many reasons. Also a work device isn’t private property. No admin rights should absolutely be the standard.
