    Not even that. She could be dual booting windows with windows on two separate encrypted partitions. There’s going to be someone at work who knows how to set it up.

      And why can’t she know how to set that up if she chooses? Because she’s a girl? You people are gross. If you want to criticize her for something, let it be for representing Trump in the first place.

        No, she can’t know it because she is a lawyer that represents Trump. Why did you though we have a problem with her gender?

          She’s clearly too young to have her own practice. Whatever firm she works for placed her on his case. Her intelligence cannot be defined by the client she represents. She’s smart enough to pass the bar. I’d wager she’s also smart enough not to hand her personal laptop to some neckbeard to set up for her. It’s highly questionable at this point whether Trump can even get a firm big enough to have in house IT to work for him.

        Nothing to do with their sexual identity or gender. It’s the fact that the average person doesn’t know how to do it. Most people working in a company stuff have IT that sets things up for them. If they can do it themselves, then hell, that’s great and I’m happy for them. But I wouldn’t assume anything because of someone’s gender or sexual identity. I think that’s silly.

          If you care for a personal example, the company I work for has IT which give us work phones. The IT department set the phones up themselves. Because of the way the phone has been set up, there’s incredibly little that can go tits up and there’s a lot of security built in (no admin, enforced long passwords, probably more that I’m forgetting).

          I’m more than capable of setting up my phone and having it be secure myself without IT doing it. Maybe she can too. Is it a usual thing for IT to thing up in a business setting, (unless you’re a programmer) probably.

            Even if she works for a firm, which is likely as she looks a bit young to own her own practice, they did not provide that laptop. That is clearly hers. And unless they are a fairly large law firm, they do not have a dedicated IT guy, let alone department. I’d bet Trump would be hard pressed to get a large firm to work for him, given his reputation.

              I mean, this is all speculation. How can you be sure that she couldn’t just request that laptop? I don’t know the circumstances.

              As far as institutions go, there’s even fairly small ones that have at least 1 person who’s job is IT, not to mention it is also possible to outsource that position entirely.

              I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong about this entire situation but that doesn’t make me a sexist like you implied :/

        How so? If you have 2 partitions encrypted separately with, say, Veracrypt, the worst thing the infected partition could do is copy the other encrypted partition. Unless I’m missing something?

          You can download a copy of the encrypted partition and attempt to crack it locally.

          Which depending on how deep your cascade encryption goes can require a huge amount of computation. If you’re a small business owner running a restaurant or a student, that’s plenty of security. If you’re the lawyer for a former POTUS in a history-defining trial that might decide the future of the entire planet, I hope to God you’re not relying on that encryption.

          Then again it might be the same dirt that foreign intelligence already has on Trump, so maybe it doesn’t matter either way.
