Nothing crazy, but it would be cool to be able to build automations in home Assistant off of my Microsoft teams status. (Pause music and whatever I’m casting to Kodi if I get a call, etc)

Maybe even browsing Lemmy? Maybe not though lol

If there’s no good options, no worries, I certainly have no problem keeping it in a work sandbox (connected to the same guest network I keep the work computer on and stuff like that)

But I just wanted to see if there’s any more value I could squeeze out of it

Thanks in advance!

EDIT I wouldn’t be casting shit FROM the iPad or anything, just to be clear

    At least in the US, anything you create on a company computer can legally be the property of the company. Any computer programming, hobby projects, writing, media creation, or anything else you do on a company-owned device will most likely belong to them unless it is explicitly stated otherwise in a contract.

    Sorry to say, I don’t think there is any way to practically or legally separate personal use on an ipad from work use when it’s company issued.

    Umm… no please dont.

    They probably have some device management stuff once you set it up.

    Alsways treat work devices as someone else’s device (because it effective is someone else’s device).

    Not really, especially if there an MDM pushed through Apple Business Manager, which will be forced upon it at first boot.

    It’ll be absolutely fine to use your work device for personal stuff. Until they want to fire you and need a reason for it. A quick audit of your usage, then bye bye!

    If your work lets you have iCloud accounts (I think usually managed) then you could use the shortcuts app.

    This depends a lot on your companies device acceptable use policy.
