I was taking a quiz on D2L on Firefox (windows 11) while using ChatGPT to check my answers when all of a sudden my internet cut in and out. It caused my quiz tab to minimize while everything else stayed open. Then the tab said “internet connection restored”.

This has happened twice and both times were during a quiz when I was using ChatGPT.

Is it right to assume that since this is my personal computer then they don’t know what else I have on my desktop?

    My work will not provide me a work machine for the very optional WFH benefit I have. Either I use my personal machine, or I have to go into the office, and fuck the office.

    So, I put my work stuff into Virtual Machine jail; if they want to spy on me, they’ll have to figure out how to break out of that first.

      if i had to provide a pc for work at home, it’d be a separate machine used exclusively for that, and isolated on its own lan.

        Yah a decent work machine with an i5, 256GB SSD, and 8GB RAM is like 300USD on sale in many countries. No way I wouldn’t just do that, the fuel savings and commute time would pay for it immediately.

      Good plan, just ensure you isolate that VM from your home network, too. I don’t trust my company at all, so their laptop only connects to my guest wifi.
