You contradict yourself. Covid WFH showed us, explicitly, most jobs can be done in your underwear at home. The few jobs that can't? Those did not transition to WFH in the first place.

There is no reason to bring jobs back to the office, that ever left the office.

I'm lucky to have worked for two companies that saw the logic in this, and ended their real estate contracts after realizing the only job that needed to be in the offices were the front desk people(they got giant severance for their trouble, don't worry) . This saved them millions of dollars a year that was invested into things that actually matter, like client satisfaction and quality assurance.

"vaporized", yeah and that dust cloud takes decades to settle and creates extra danger to manned space flight.

Flock camera's are not government property. They often aren't even installed on right of way, or are installed in ways that grossly violate DOT safety standards. Every single Flock camera is owned by Flock, privately.

My plex server does that. Am I a media company?

How is apple a media company? Sure, they offer Apple Music, but Spotify is better. They have a couple of good TV shows, but you can count them on one hand. They might make an movie or two a year. They hardly have anything on their streaming service. None of their media offerings are worth paying for.

If your TV has a cell connection it won't be using YOUR internet at least (by default). At least then if it does anything malicious, it won't come down on you.

Some Vizio tv's were found with files associated with monero miners OOTB

In the US you get a shitty app at best.

You can load your plastic cards onto your phone for tap though, but that doesn't give you access to controls or history.

You can still swipe the physical card mag-strip. I've not run into tap pay issues in years though.

The apple card is pretty great. Solid titanium "cool" card to whip out. An app with incredibly tight design and integration and spending awareness info. Never get anything like that from a bank..

This. The new encryption is backdoored. the old isnt. that's bad for gov, so out it goes.

There's something like 18 vacant homes per homeless person in america. We don't have a housing supply problem.

TPM is just what palladium tried to do. They learned their lessons after the palladium protest and just silently rolled TPM out until it was ubiquitous, then shut the bulkhead behind you.

https://youtu.be/rIApjcynrLQ you can't deny the 8500 + rx6600 is an extremely potent build.

A desktop part will outperform a mobile part for the most part. But it only has to hit 60hz, which the old i5's will demolish. I'm going for minmax there, lowest cost, best results that are in near-parity with the steam box.
