I work for a classic bank in Europe in development.

To unlock my laptop - I need a boot password - then I need a finger print scan - after that a password, after that a 2fa app. Then I need to connect to a VPN .. 2fa again. My laptop locks within 1 minute of inactivity. 30% of my CPU and RAM get hogged by our security suit constantly. My USB ports are disabled for data. I understand it's windows and windows can get compromised - it's just very unlikely that it gets compromised to a level where you could actually cause damage.

I want to decline a websites ability to track my behavior and/or decline that they pass the data to another company. Most websites allow me to decline it. I prefer to have to opt in which is a minor inconvenience - then not having the option at all. Also the banners we got are deliberately bad and cumbersome so people just click on allow.

Have the X4, the size is perfect - I always have it in my pocket and can read a view pages whenever I am waiting for something. Reduced my phone usage / doom scrolling nonsense with it. Best 50€ spent in a long time.

I had a portal/app with messages exam results, calenders for .) kindergarten for my youngest child (who will now go to elementary school) .) elementary school for my middle child .) daycare for my middle child .) high school for eldest child

All spamming with messages and news - so I made python scripts that use the apps API to get the messages (exams and changes etc) and puts it into our family telegram group chat if relevant

I just can't sit here every morning 20 minutes on my phone logging in checking everything just to find out the food plan has changed ...

Interesting - I ordered mine from AliExpress in February and it was really easy to flash. Shane if they start blocking it.
