Boyfriend erased laptop before giving it to me, suspicious? (Page 4)

[Neilbud]

If he's programming on the side, he might have a security clause he has to maintain. So by wiping the hard drive he erased all sensitive data.

Honestly, if a computer is used for company use it's best to wipe or destroy the hard drive.

[Levin]

Maybe he thought you'd judge him for all the gay porn he has downloaded.

[JustinTheGreat]

I mean not necessarily. If I have a device to someone, I would want to reset it and make it completely new for the new person

[TotallyAlmost]

Wiping and giving a fresh start to the computer is a good idea. You don't want all that shit on there slowing down or destabilizing the OS. Just thank him and move on.

[Pudsmucker]

He's right he needs to wipe it to take off company information. Companies that I have worked for had to wipe there computers wiped when they sold them to the general public.

[Kabluie]

He's smart, it also lets you start fresh. It's better for everyone.

It's standard procedure.

You are getting a free machine. You don't get to complain that you're not getting the data.

[Monica1984_]

Your right laptop or cell phone if you’s trust each other you let the other see what on Your laptop, cell phone. To me hiding it. It’s sign of cheating.

[Vegasrunner]

Not sure but am a huge fan of your boyfriend. He literally knew the only reason you dont want him to wipe it is so you can spy on him

[dailyoctopus94]

Doing a full wipe before gifting a device to another person is always best practice.

Don't let your insecurities put his information at risk.

[Twalli]

If he has a login password on his computer he doesn't need to wipe it. All that's necessary is to create an account for you and make it an administrator and then delete his account.

[Anonymous]

Lol you're over thinking this. As a fellow IT guy, I would do the same as him, perhaps you should grow up and understand that not all men are cheating when they want to protect their privacy.

[Opinion Owner]

For example, I gave my wife several laptops, all wiped before I did so, mostly because they were company property that I bought from my company, they were work laptops. So yes I definitely wiped them. To do otherwise would be illegal.

Fuck sake. You’re broke with a busted ass computer and your boyfriend offers to give you a free laptop and your response is, “What’s he hiding?”

[spartan55]

Doesn't it figure?

[bayoubob]

It's a naked lady machine. Are you okay with that?

[bayoubob]

Can he take a dump? I like to take a dump when I see fit. It's fun. Or is it?

[Vick2828]

To be honest, it's 50/50. But most likely, he isn't cheating. It's just making sure no data gets into the wrong hands.

[POSSY_HUNTER]

probably because he secretly like to watch tranny porn , and he dont want anyone else know because it is embarrassing to him

[RealDaveThomas]

Trump took classified documents from the white house to his own private home. Yeah, something is def. up

That's pretty standard procedure. You wipe the laptop before giving it to somebody else, doesn't matter who the recipient is.

[nawtee_me]

It could be stuff from people he did programming for which might be private or proprietary
