It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn’t matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

      IT here, Yes, by all means involve me. I will buy a second monitor and plug it into a known box that is no business going anywhere. I will then block, at the network firewall level, any outbound traffic to anything that thing talks to. If it uses its own MAC address at the head end I will then collect and publish every connection that thing tries to make outside to a blacklist and provide it to the public.

        Sounds way more interesting than most IT work as well. I’d definitely rather do some investigative work like this than a typical parade of password resets, email assistance, and software installations.
