using it to juggle space is a recipe for disaster. it’s super easy to delete at the wrong time and lose stuff.

None of our work PCs have drive encryption because they're too busy bikeshedding the solution.

The upshot is that since the last Windows update I no longer have enough space to have VS2015 and 2017 installed simultaneously and I can't procure a larger HDD to do my loving job

our loving cto uses his personal gdrive to transfer proprietary company poo poo between his computer and... every arbitrary VM he's remoted into, because he didn't know you can just transfer poo poo using remote desktop until i finally made a point of telling him after the second or third time i found an important server VM with chrome sitting open still logged in to and showing his private personal google account

why would you possibly care about this though? the only thing i can come up with where it'd matter on a security level is that it limits the possible aslr entropy, but even that is very minor, making this a hugely irrelevant number on a spec-sheet for almost all purposes

From a direct security perspective, yeah ASLR is about it. Supporting legacy hardware/software of course has some indirect security implications just because a lot of that stuff you're supporting wasn't designed to be secure in the first place, but that's not really the platform's fault. I'm just tired of walking in to a new customer and finding machines with 7/8/10 32 bit installed which will have to have a reinstall before they can take a RAM upgrade. 4GB of address space just isn't enough.

It's one more platform that has to be supported, and it's one that has significant negatives with basically the only positives being compatibility with ancient trash. If you don't need to run 16 bit applications or use devices that haven't seen a new driver since XP it's all negative.

Frankly if you can do anything from the infotainment system, you'll do what the manufacturer could not.
