As someone that has managed MDM platforms before, I absolutely agree with this. If it’s a work laptop, then yeah they have the right to install MDM on it. If it’s a personal laptop, I really wouldn’t recommend it.

MDM gives the admins full control over the device. They can run commands to wipe the device, install software, set policies, gather inventory data, or any custom action they want.

The MDM platforms I’ve used can’t be used to spy on people, but they absolutely have the power to install software or run scripts that can spy on you. IT probably doesn’t have time to actually watch individual employees, but anything they do likely has a built in report that can give data on who did what, prioritizing based on whatever the company is looking for.

Always assume that companies are monitoring everything going on with the computers and WiFi networks that they own. They likely are checking things out to make sure activity is safe and appropriate.

I am super excited for this!! Can’t wait to see more about it. Mage is my favorite hero now so I’m really looking forward to trying the cleric.

RIP. It’s been coming for a while, and Control Panel will likely be on hospice for a few more years, but it will be a sad day when control panel is gone.

Give us the highlights! What items did you find, especially early on, to help give you a boost? What challenges did you face?

As a mage, +3 is probably a fair stopping point, maybe +5 if you really want the higher end equipment. You need the upgrades for your staff.

For other classes, it depends. As a huntress, I’ll often stop at +11 or +13, depending on what level I found it at. Farming consumables and higher end equipment can be super fun! A +13 ring of wealth will provide +7 armor and weapons, which can easily be game winners. The higher level also will provide several scrolls of transmutation that I often use after dwarf king to get the ring that I want.

I’m honestly working on this challenge now. It requires changing your strategy from reducing damage via armor upgrades to avoiding damage at all costs. Avoiding damage is really hard to do, but increasing evasion by using cloth/leather armor and/or ring of evasion helps.

My successes with this one have been with mage and huntress. Both allow you to create a build with high damage at range, minimizing the chances to get hit. The rogue’s free runner class is also a good option.

I like the Mac Rumors articles that the Zippy Bot posted.

What do you want this community to be? A place to discuss news articles about Apple, or a place for users to bring their own discussion topics?

Personally, I’d like it to be both. I think refining Zippy Bot would allow this community to still have plenty of rumor and news articles. I do wish there was a better balance of user posts, though, for better discussions.

Any idea what those “updates” will be?
