This is a Dystopian timeline: My wife was let go after 25 years working for the same bank this morning. In an apparent oops, the bank's IT department hard wiped ALL her IOS devices remotely, while she was on the road driving, relying on the GPS function.
The screw you cherry on top? Our apartment building in its infinite wisdom a couple years back switched all building locks to the Latch app.
So she was LOCKED OUT OF OUR HOUSE.
Oh, and the Latch maintained intercom at our front door is out of order.
Thanks for that. Sheesh.

If the device was mandatory for work then the employer reslly should have provided a dedicated device for work 🫤
I wonder what a decent lawyer would make of this?
Effectively the device was remotely accessed and wiped without permission, which should be a criminal offence.
Any backups? 😟
Edit: Inexpensive Samsung phones exist which are more than capable of acting as 2FA/2SA devices or for work contacts 😉

The company’s head of HR should be livid. If they aren’t, whoever they report to should be livid. Your wife, I assume, is unlikely to become violent. But (and I realize it often doesn’t seem this way) handling separations well is important for workplace safety. Your wife is undoubtedly processing a lot of emotions and may not want to get into it, and unfortunately I don’t see an angle where she gets much more than an apology. But that IT person should face consequences.

It's an oopsie, but.
This is LOUD WARNING. Read the above and realize how much power tech bro systems have over your life.
What happened was trivial to produce and impossible to resist.
Like Teslas that locked people inside while burning.

@feoh This is an awful situation but just to clarify some things
It's not technically required to give the company that much power over your personal iOS devices. They could have asserted much less control and still been secure.
I have worked for a financial institution where I brought my own iOS device. When I was offboarded, they could wipe only apps associated with the company. I had to reinstall my Gmail for personal use and re-login, but was otherwise fine.

This is the right way to do things.
The bank's IT department will be liable for all of her extra expenses, and the Bank's HR department should be involved, as well as the bank's insurance company.
No proper off-boarding procedure, which means that they cannot confirm that everything was done properly.
If the banks IT department are screwing up like this, then where else are they failing to do their job.
Report them, and act as whistleblowers to the insurance company.

You'll get the whistleblowers protections from the insurance company, as well as setting up the bank's IT department for a full audit.
Add in a call to the regulator, as these actions mean that they will be acting out of compliance with the security reg's for their banking licence.
Bonus points if you own any stocks in the bank, as that makes you a minority stockholder which adds in another set of legal protections.

@kevinrns for this very reason there must be no critical infrastructure (like locks to one's house, flat or even a car; also other services used by communities - as simple as a gate) dependant on both centralized and always online services, having access to wireless connectivity or, in case of cars, phones and the like, even onboard electric energy as it might fail.
Too many things which can and eventually will break between the ends.
How many such deadlocks did we put into everything?

La fisica delle notizie, delle voci e delle opinioni.
Articolo di Guido Caldarelli, Oriol Artime, Giulia Fischetti, Stefano Guarino, Andrzej Nowak, Fabio Saracco, Petter Holme, Manlio de Domenico
I confini tra reti fisiche e sociali si sono assottigliati con l'avvento di Internet e delle sue piattaforme pervasive. Ciò ha dato origine a un complesso ecosistema informativo adattivo in cui individui e macchine competono per l'attenzione, dando origine a fenomeni collettivi emergenti. Il flusso di informazioni in questo ecosistema è spesso non banale e coinvolge complesse strategie degli utenti, dalla creazione o amplificazione strategica di contenuti manipolativi a comportamenti coordinati su larga scala che innescano cascate di disinformazione, rinforzo della camera di eco e polarizzazione dell'opinione. Sosteniamo che la fisica statistica fornisca un quadro di riferimento adeguato e necessario per analizzare lo sviluppo di queste dinamiche complesse nei sistemi socio-tecnologici. Questa revisione affronta sistematicamente gli aspetti fondativi e applicativi di questo quadro. La revisione è strutturata per stabilire innanzitutto le basi teoriche per l'analisi di questi sistemi complessi, esaminando sia i modelli strutturali di reti complesse sia i modelli fisici di dinamiche sociali (ad esempio, modelli epidemici e di spin). Successivamente, approfondiamo questi concetti descrivendo l'ecosistema mediatico moderno in cui queste dinamiche si sviluppano attualmente, includendo un'analisi comparativa delle piattaforme e la sfida dei disturbi dell'informazione. Le sezioni centrali procedono ad applicare questo quadro a due fenomeni centrali: in primo luogo, analizzando le dinamiche collettive della diffusione delle informazioni, con un'attenzione particolare ai modelli, alle principali intuizioni empiriche e ai tratti distintivi che caratterizzano la disinformazione; e in secondo luogo, esaminando gli attuali modelli di dinamiche di opinione, che abbracciano approcci discreti, continui e coevolutivi. In sintesi, passiamo in rassegna sia i risultati empirici basati su analisi di dati massive sia i progressi teorici, evidenziando le preziose intuizioni ottenute dagli sforzi basati sulla fisica per indagare questi fenomeni di elevato impatto sociale.

@ilarioq @attualita io purtroppo li vedo i problemi: immagino alle prossime presidenziali francesi il candidato che dovesse dire che la Francia rinuncia al suo per il bene dell'Unione Europea

Frontiere che uccidono. Respingimenti illegali nei porti
@anarchia
Due giovani sono morti lo scorso 30 ottobre nelle acque del porto di Livorno intorno alle 13:30 risucchiati dalle eliche delle navi in manovra.

@informapirata @giuliocavalli non dimentichiamo anchr un'ltra importante barriera, quella economica.
Per usufruire della SPiD servono:
- uno smartphone
- una connessione a internet
- un pc (opzionale, ma viste quanto fanno schifo alcune piattaforme da mobile)Queste cose hanno un costo che diventa elevato per chi vive ai margini della società .
