Comment on How would I repurpose a work laptop?

The only barrier I see is your imagination that forces you to generate some strange questions. Laptop is a laptop and made of laptop and capable of what laptops are capable of. No more but no less.

And your words show your lack of experience in the matter. Usually work laptops have their bios locked down, so you can’t access it and change the boot sequence and install what you want.
Some just put a password that sometimes can be reset, other times there are full on lockdowns by dedicated security apps that are very difficult (if not impossible) to circumvent.

You’re right (and upvoted accordingly), but if said evil company is as much of a clusterfuck as OP said, I wouldn’t bet on them having competent security measures in place.
