The situation for most of the projects I am involved in, is that they want to install Tails to a VM/virtual disk image, not to a physical USB.
The situation(s) where the physical USB is relevant, is where we want to boot the physical Tails USB into a virt-manager VM, meaning that those have to move away from Virtualbox as that one cannot boot easily from physical media. This is desired when wanting to use/run/update Tails from/on the main computer/laptop, and subsequently use the updated Tails directly on another computer, either in such a VM setup, or by booting from the physical USB stick. But yes, more and more are blocking and moving away from USB... Just my 2c. -- Regards, Teqleez On Tue, Oct 1, 2019, at 13:30, linux-service wrote: > More and more organisations prevent (and disable) usb and sd ports on > notebooks.
