Even at big companies, devs get flexibility because they need to run a bunch of random stuff that can look sketchy to security software.

So, and here’s the deal. We’ve been working, and hopefully we’ll know shortly. And I know you’ve been informed: We’re trying to work out a deal between Israel and Hamas on the hostages being returned and — and immediate ceasefire in Gaza for at least the next six weeks and — and to allow the surge of aid through the entire Gaza Strip — not just the south but the entire Gaza Strip.

Emphasis mine. He did say they're working on an immediate ceasefire.

Yeah, at some point you declare it a loss and just keep the surroundings hosed down so they don't catch fire, and let the main fire burn itself out.

"But Hamas uses human shields!"

Like that justifies blowing up hospitals killing tens of thousands of civilians.

Sometimes it can’t connect to the server (which is a completely stupid necessity).

That's where it does the voice processing. The only processing it does on-device is the wake word and taking commands. Actually figuring out what you mean is done in The Cloud. Doing that on-device would not only make the devices significantly more expensive, but they would also rapidly become outdated.

The rest of your complaints are valid and I've experienced them all myself to boot.

Overkill and overpriced. If you're on Windows, bitlocker is enough. If you're on Linux, LUKS is enough.

I've used Apricorn drives at previous jobs. They're cool and very much fit for purpose, but I'd have a hard time justifying the significant price premium when software is nearly as good, free, and works with any drive.

It wouldn't be significantly different from any other access method.
