We have an employee who was let go and hasn’t logged out of their expensive MacBook laptop. We paid for it but the laptop was mailed to their house in their name. Apple said whoever it’s mailed to owns it and they won’t unlock or reset it for us. HD is encrypted.
Suggestions?

Pretty funny, might reflect
1) How few portfolio companies ever make profit!
2) How disconnected from operating a business many VCs are.
Personally, the obvious path is just pay taxes on it if they want to be that profitable. Or prioritize growth and invest in R&D/people/etc.

It's because they're mortgages with a 10+ yr window. If 10% want their money for various reasons, you need to come up with $8B fast. You can sell the mortgages, but when they're 1.5% & rates are 4.5%, you sell at a loss. Then others get nervous & want THEIR money back & repeat...

Totally agree with this. The idea that you can selectively turn off body cams and leave microphones in the car is stunning. It means corrupt police can use it to protect themselves when they’re doing their job and hide evidence when breaking the law.

This reminds me of Dan Geer’s seminal paper arguing heterogenous networks would be more resistant to catastrophic attack. Microsoft didn’t like that argument but here’s a recent great example of why he was right.
China's ICBC is the 3rd-largest bank in the world.
Their entire network was taken over by ransomware.
But they got back online quickly -- because their trading system used a Novell Netware server that the ransomware didn't understand.
