This reminds me of the time I was at work doing searches for
female female connection
female female coupling
female to male adapter
I wonder what IT thought. It was for serial ports, I swear!
(IT probably didn’t care much about this compared to the time that another employee was soliciting prostitutes using his work email.)
We usually think of people in the past as prudes but they were actually saying stuff like “These connectors look like they’re having sex, let’s officially name them based on that.”
IT were probably familiar with the terms, I would guess
Given that our IT completely failed to secure our networked storage, I wouldn’t be so sure. (Our CEO was a stereotypically loud Italian guy, and he was the calmest I had ever seen him when I showed him that I could access all his files. I wish I could have been there when he went to have a polite chat with IT about that…)
Another time, IT put an electronic lock on the door to the server room. One day that lock (and all the other electronic locks in the building) wouldn’t open. It turned out that the computer controlling the locks had frozen up, but it was in the server room so they couldn’t get in to reset it. They ended up having to take the door off of its hinges.
Or when I got laid off (the start-up’s money ran out so half of the employees were, including the former CEO) and someone told my very embarrassed boss to follow me around while I went to get my stuff. You gave me keys to the building and root access to the R&D machines. You were shipping with the firmware image I made. But now you were worried that I was the vengeful sort?

Correct.
Unless you actually click on the shady porn links we don’t care.
If your search engine used HTTPS (which nearly all websites do now, but it’s possible that you made these searches before that was common) then IT would have no way of knowing what searches you were making.
They could have a browser extension to track their searches.
Where I work we don’t even look at what’s being blocked. Only when someone requests a website to be opened it gets checked out.
We used to call these a gender bender.
Dang it they found out! Run!! 🏳️🌈

Unless you’re paying them.
I’m just glad people are still naming their kids Tony.

Only geeks will relate
I only woke in 4K UHD 144hz+ DisplayPort.
I still have a box full of all kinds of male-male, female-female, and female-male adapters somewhere for serial, parallel, VGA, etc… I’m trying to recall the joke about them at the time, but there really aren’t that many that I can think of. I think I heard the odd “I’d pay to see that” or “don’t mention that in [location]”
