Ok, yeah, company policies locking the options is a thing, true
Being self employed it seems I’ve lost touch a bit, how stupid those policies can be
Still, locking shouldn’t quit the tasks - or does it on windows?
At least with i3lock nothing gets disturbed. At least I haven’t seen it yet
But yeah, company policies are often very counter productive - and as we see here, when people leave their laptop open and accessible all the time, also not really secure
I’m currently in the 3rd change of VPN tech, because the customer thinks, that’s better.
And it only is getting worse with more proprietary software…
And those great AI coders can’t even configure what their laptop does, when they close the lid?
That’s the most stupid approach I’ve ever heard
In fairness company security policies likely force the machine to sleep when the lid is closed, or as the very least lock the screen.
What they would do is have the agent running in a VM somewhere so they can close the lid and the work continues elsewhere not locally.
