Times are so hard even terrorists are having find second jobs
did the dm pick the most 80s action movie villain pic they could find?
I have worked in multiple computer repair businesses where the technicians tell customers they don’t look through machines and the moment they’re in the workshop they start trawling through people’s private information. In my personal experience the repair guys are extremely nosey and pervy when it comes to private data (including employees of one of the biggest computing company in the world who use a fruit as their logo…)
The story about file recovery doesn’t really add up either, I’ve used most commercial recovery solutions and it doesn’t stall on single files or file names like the business is making out, it maps out data partitions and bulk displays the files and their type at the end of recovery.
It’s great they foiled a potential terrorist but I’d probably avoid taking anything with private information into their business.
>He made technicians ‘swear’ they would not look at his data when he took it in for repairs because it was running slowly
What a fucking idiot.
Nothing is more likely to make someone in IT go through your files that explicitly saying “Make sure you don’t look at my files bro” in the most suspicious way possible.
I wouldn’t ever trust a computer repair person.
I don’t believe for a second that they ‘needed’ to see the files and happened to see such obviously named items.
I am 110% confident that a repair person has a snoop of every PC that is brought to them.
