    That’s the part I get, but what does having the corporate spyware running 24/7 accomplish? What kind of telemetry would they even get out of that other than ip/location, which isn’t all that interesting.

      I have no idea. I didn’t even trust it on my main home network. Connected it to my guest network so it couldn’t scan my home network. Which it tried to do, if course.

      It can check if people are typing or using the mouse.

      It’s also possible to use the camera of a notebook to track if a person is present and looking at the screen or not.

      Any company using that shit is the kind that uses “bums of seats” rather than actual deliverables as a measure of performance, which means they’re also the kind of place were unpaid overtime is the norm and, if in dev, things like projects often ending up in a death march stage - such places are stupidly inneficient and badly managed with a disfunctional work culture.

      Avoid such companies like the plague - you’ll be luck if the worst that happens is insane work hours.
