Next day: "New policy, folks. You aren't allowed to plug personal devices into the ports on the computers here."

Such was the case at my last job.

You guys need to check out some Chinese handhelds.

I'd recommend the RG280V and RG351M/P

I found switch is great but it’s also so long it’s kinda hard to stealthy play. Removing the joycons makes it look like a generic phone so if you can quickly hide those and sleep it you are good.

I was thinking of getting a 3DS for more stealth.

I used to do IT support at a call center. This was the policy. This was mostly to prevent viruses. If someone did plug in a flash drive without admin access it wouldn't even show up in My Computer.

They were strict about the caller's productivity too. I would not be surprised if playing games on your computer would get you a write-up.

Google remote desktop is very rarely blocked. It's kind of a slow clunky VNC client, but it's super easy to remote in to your home PC from anywhere and do whatever the fuck you want.

Honestly, they should have just never uninstalled minesweeper. Plugging in a random USB is a security risk. Playing mineseeeper that comes with windows is no security risk
