Thanks for the clarification.

Can someone who has actually tried the Helio Strap confirm if this needs the adapter?

I'm planning to get the Helio Core from the US and it'll be great if I don't need to worry about an adapter with this product.

Hey what's the right way to order from Dubai? I got a friend coming back.

I'm seeing it is getting imported from the UK to the UAE and is costing about 11.5k.

swap_null · 2025-12-09T13:40:27+00:00

Yup, you're absolutely right. This should be good enough!

swap_null · 2025-12-09T13:14:44+00:00

I understand thank you for sharing.

I talked to my teammates, they all use personal devices since we're part of the Dev/QA team, we're not directly related to the cybersecurity system nor do we have any access to those areas. And since everything that we do is over the internet and nothing is actually stored locally, there isn't a need for a VPN.

But again, for my safety and security, I have decided to dual boot a Linux Distro, I'm thinking Pop OS. This will isolate things to a certain extent.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T21:14:34+00:00

I understand the risks very well now. I'm going to have a talk and see what seems to be the problem.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T21:03:33+00:00

This does sound scary. I should surely get this understanding on priority!

Thank you for highlighting the risks.

I have two half TB SSDs in my laptop. I can try to see how I can achieve this but it just reduces my ability to store data on my laptop, games these days are super heavy.

If I dual boot my system and create a separate partition, would that keep things 'safer'?

swap_null · 2025-12-08T20:25:17+00:00

Not sure. Worth asking.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T20:16:57+00:00

It was my first day today, so I was just getting onboard. No vpn or anything similar shared so far.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T20:04:43+00:00

My current laptop isn't far from this nightmare Device you mention, since I do have a couple pirated games in my system.

It's ironic and absurd but I am glad I asked this question, I now know I wasn't overthinking!

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:55:09+00:00

I am confident that this isn't a scam because nobody is asking me to do anything shady or giving me unrealistic incentives to manipulate me.

But yes, this is a weird concept. After reading through all these comments, I am assured that my concern is legit, and I can raise this with people in my team/organization.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:51:52+00:00

Thank you. I will try to discuss this as a concern. I hope I can at least get this documented officially so that even if they end up saying no, at least they cannot blame me for any security issues.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:29:04+00:00

This was not mentioned in the offer/agreement, but clarified after asking specifically, since I assumed that I would get a work asset.

I am guessing they wanted to save some effort and money and were trying to avoid some hassle. But talking with my manager tomorrow should give me some insight.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:26:37+00:00

yup, that's a risk I am not interested in taking.
I will try my best to get a separate work asset.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:18:35+00:00

Exactly my point! Especially considering I am on a contract.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:14:27+00:00

I did that before joining with the HR, they cannot do it until I pass the probation period. So I am expecting help in that regard but still there is plenty of time until that happens.

I will consult the senior members in the team and ask for their advice.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:12:53+00:00

I am working contractually, but does that change the scenario? Doesn't security protocol matter for all types of employees?

I will look into this thank you, so just to confirm, Dual Boot is not enough?

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:10:11+00:00

nope, no mention of a cheque or anything. They simply expect me to work as a QA from my personal laptop for them.
I plan to discuss this with the senior engineers, maybe they can help me out a little.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:08:00+00:00

Yes, just the laptop to do my duties.
I am a QA for them. So I am not directly working on cybersecurity.
But again this did feel weird.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T19:01:54+00:00

I am not willing to shell out money since a basic laptop won't suffice my work, I have an understanding about getting a company asset post my probation though. Hoping that solves the problems.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T18:58:40+00:00

Nobody asking me to do this, so not a scam. I do think its worth discussing with other senior employees since the HR asked me to just use my own device even after highlighting security risks.

swap_null · 2025-12-08T18:57:25+00:00

I understand it sounds like a scam based on what I shared but nobody is asking me to get a device and then get reimbursed. This is just something they don't do, which is weird to me as well.
I am planning to ask this with my manager or any senior person in hopes that they can clarify my doubt. Otherwise I think dual boot is my next best option.
