Several things come to mind:

  • by giving your password to someone, you are essentially consenting to them accessing your data
  • your data should be backed up before you bring a device in so it can be wiped off if they need to access the OS
  • certified technologists exist and they have to adhere to a code of conduct
  • best buy and the ilk do not hire technologists… you get what you pay for
  • if a technician is paid to back up your data, then they need access to your data, if they find porn and if it’s bad, they will report you

I agree with all you said but

“Views an album called bikinis as extra large icons to avoid displaying them as recently open files” “ after fixing the tech problem, copying the photos to a personal usb stick”

Its disgusting and inexcusable behavior no matter how naive or dumb the client may be.
