It will hardly matter when words have no meaning. When $ISP is selling "Truly Unlimited(tm)!" service that really means "It's Truly Unlimited for the first 5 minutes of the month and then throttled down to nothing because you've already exceeded your Truly Unlimited Bandwidth Cap", then all they'll do is bury the details with more meaningless buzzwords. That's before you even get to the virtual monopolies they have in most areas.
Companies are still in the FA part of this whole thing. The FO part is coming. Personally, I love WFH but we're already seeing some negative impact at my company. The company still needs to lease building space, although they can scale back their footprint considerably. Conversely, they now have to open and operate 500 remote offices. At the moment, people are happy to use their home for that purpose but some employees are already starting to demand pro-rated compensation for things like rent, internet, electricity, etc. We've had a small handful of employees make Workman's Comp claims for injuries sustained in their home due to them sitting on the couch and using a coffee table for a desk, instead of a proper ergonomic workstation, which means the company might be obliged to supply literally everything that would normally be in an office or risk being liable.
We also have massively increased IT support costs since IT has little or no control over the quality and availability of internet at all these remote offices, and users just can't be bothered to come in for support. IT has to drive to their house when onsite service is required. In some cases, we've had to hire third-party remote hands when it's too far away.
At some point, it's no longer going to be cost effective to equip and maintain all these remote offices. If companies want to continue offering it, policies are going to have to be developed and laws are going to have to be crafted to protect both the company and the worker.
It's unclear from the article how this actually works. Are hourly workers taking a 20% cut in pay (by working 20% fewer hours) or was their pay increased by 20% so that their take-home stays the same while reducing the hours worked?
Weird how this isn't considered an act of war.
Do you really think people will tip (or expect to be tipped) 10%? I remember when 10% *was* the norm, and now there are places where 25% is the minimum on the card machine. Why not just do away with tipping culture altogether and stop tying employees' livelihood to the charity of the customer.
Or just get rid of tipping altogether and pay people a livable wage.
His certificate was revoked in April 2022 with eligibility to reapply after one year, but the Airmen Registry still lists him as having no valid certificate and his medical expired last month.
You know what would improve Azure security?
* Stop changing the names of services every six months.
* Update your documentation to reflect changes in Azure user interfaces
* Stop burying security settings on five different websites with constantly changing service names
* Make it a lot more obvious which role permissions affect which specific services
It's next to impossible for the average Azure user to apply even basic security principles to their tenant because of the constant change and terrible documentation. You ever try to actually *implement* any email security policies in Microsoft's Office365 (*ahem* excuse me, now known as Microsoft365)? Let's forget about how there's no way to actually test any of the policies to make sure they're configured right. Half of the settings are within Exchange Online (or is it Office365?), and the rest are in Defender or in Cloudapp Security. It's awful.
And yet here you are, not passing up an opportunity to add nothing to the conversation.
The US border is a lawless place. You have few rights. The same is broadly true for most borders. They have you over a barrel, normal rights don't apply.
The word you're looking for is "privileges". Rights are inalienable. They're not rights if they can be taken away on a whim.
Sound mixing is so bad that sometimes subtitles are the only way to hear the dialogue without cranking the volume up to the point where the music wakes up people in the next town. I'd much rather watch without subtitles but with proper sound mixing.
It only affects a few dozen per year, so naturally it makes perfect sense to put the whole country's privacy at risk. You know, for those few dozen cases.
Most people don't like having their phone ringing incessantly.
I wish we could permanently filter unhelpful resources without having to add "-site:" to every search.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mean that buyers aren't subscribing to their ridiculous $300/year fees for GPS map updates.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
