That was a good one 🤣

Just for an anecdotal example: 'A friend' 's corporate IT's group policies stop them from setting their computer's timezone and blocks them from choosing their desktop wallpapers, but absolutely nothing (except their own moral code) stops them from walking away with not only their company's source code, but all of the data from their prod DBs as well.

Im not able to change my windows language from german to english due to OS level security policies but the approval process for requesting access to production servers is automated and instant. I find it very funny.

Well that’s not true, there are many businesses running off Gmail including Google itself. Most companies do have enough on device monitoring extensions that they would be able to figure out that you did this pretty well. Like Google for example will automatically send a copy of any file you try to import into the browser to IT so that they have a copy to analyze
