Granted, the best keyboards I have ever used were Hall Effect, but they were also extremely expensive.

(Which actually makes sense in the context of the movie)

The "Cleaning the elevator" scene.

I think I started reading /. on a daily basis sometime in 1998.

Maybe people don't want a huge corporation listening to every word they say in their own homes 24/7 ?

I'm a techie, but my wife is not, and she is even *more* insistent that we not have any live microphones in the house. It got to the point that she was about to veto our new TV purchase because it had Alexa "built-in", but we compromised by getting the TV but never connecting it to the internet. (OLED TVs that *don't* have Alexa or some other assistant built-in are hard to find)

You want to get past a perceived "diaper" and "child" stage by putting people and companies in diapers and treating them like children. I'll never understand how people like you can be so delusional. You're entire premise is wrong and then you build a whole narrative around it to try and sound smart. Its fucking pathetic.

Very entitled. Go work construction or as a mechanic or even a welder. 99 times out a 100 they have to buy their own tools. This mentality in tech that the company should coddle to your every whim on equipment is isolated to tech and doesn't exist outside of it. They do it though and then everyone bitches about the equipment, destroys it and complains that the company doesn't do better.

Well how about we move to zerotrust and just use whatever device we want? I already do this at work. I use my personal device and all the apps are isolated from my stuff. I dont have to have multiple devices and I can upgrade it whenever the hell I want.

Biden can't even spell cybersecurity. This is being pushed by some low level hack with no understanding of the topic. Worse, they'll just appoint some czar to it and it will go nowhere but still cost 100 billion somehow. Can't wait for the nonbinary pansexual transracial paraplegic they put in charge of this one.

I've been ahead of the curve on this for over a decade. I used to just stay home and work, pissing off people I worked with who traveled every day. They would literally scream and yell at me about it and I'd just...... stay home. My work got done so bosses didnt care too much. I was more productive then they were because they sat in a cubicle farm pissing their life away while I didnt have a drive.

I remember talking to one of them and asking why he came in at all when he sat in meetings on Skype for Business all day with the various people around the world. "You could do that at home." I said and it started to click with him. If I did come into the office it was to do what I needed to and then I left, 3-4 hours tops usually. That made them even angrier.

When Covid and work from home became a thing I was already home, all set up. It took them 9 months to settle in and work things out. They had long meetings on topics like "How to effectively work from home" that I skipped because I was already doing it. Now they all get what I was talking about. It took a worldwide pandemic for the sheep to figure it out.

Most of us need to take a stand more often on things that just dont make sense.

That link isn't Wikipedia, it's www.usap.gov. The rest of my comments stand.

And if it wasn't designed to operate at 14F from the outset, then someone apparently can't even look up Wikipedia

At McMurdo Station, which is the main U.S. station in Antarctica and 1,360 km (850 miles) north of the South Pole, the mean annual temperature is -18C (0F). Temperatures may reach 8C (46F) in the austral summer and -50C (-58F) in the austral winter. The average wind is 12 knots, but winds have exceeded 100 knots.

Nope. (Do I get extra points for linking to Wikipedia? :) )

That's what they were doing, only in this case the "less developed world" was just Alaska. What, you thought that colonialism only affected other countries?
