I have access to my (Google) building to allow me to get to the hardware lab there, but it's somewhat discouraged to do so.

Equipment is not to leave the lab, but we are encouraged to set things up to allow as much to happen remotely as possible. So I've got remote power, remote debug probes, a brace of EM100 QSPI emulators, etc. The net result is that unless I need to physically change the cabling on something I can work from home. I work on data center hardware which makes this pretty practical. I don't know how folks on the consumer side of things are faring.




I have a Googler friend in the consumer hardware side, and I heard they're given more freedom to bring equipment home with them...
