DeepMind researcher Samuel Albanie notes that with computer-use agents mostly working, a basic audit of personal devices and accounts now takes about an hour. He finds overseeing the agents doing cleanup mildly entertaining — and discovered an old iPhone 6s still had account access. The rest is basics like 2FA everywhere and sensible backup/fallback protocols. Worth the hassle, he says.
