It doesn't have to be BYOD. The firm might willing to procure a specific machine for her. Or she might have enough clout to make them get her what she wants.
Maybe. It's also weird because ROG has their led control app, Aura which will auto adjust your RGB based on apps/profiles. She either had a profile set up to do the flashy-lid or it was triggered by an application.
Regardless, you would think a lawyer who requested such a device would know how to disable that profile and/or how to disable the light show without literally shutting the lid and covering it.
Or she doesn't care
Probably should care a little, since lawyers work hard to look "presentable" and "professional" in court. While it shouldn't affect anything, it does have an effect on the outcome of a trial.
So it comes back to if she didn't know how, or if it was intentional
Since when does Trump have a history of hiring "presentable" and "professional" lawyers?
Considering how much full disk encryption can slow down a machine in daily use, she might have used that as a justification for asking for a "beefier" PC that would slowed down less by encryption.
The impact is negligible. It’s a few extra seconds during boot. You won’t even notice during use except maybe for specific IO-intensive workloads. FDE on a modern computer isn’t like the junk from 15 years ago with third party security apps. There’s no reason not to use it.
Indeed, it's mostly hardware-accelerated nowadays.
