It’s way easier to get someone’s attention in office

Exactly. Most employees aren’t just sitting around waiting for someone to get their attention. They’re already actively working. And when that work is interrupted, it’s a distraction, and productivity goes down.

Even the mental context switching between the tasks is costly in terms of time lost. Most people can’t just instantly jump back to the original task at the same level of productivity.

Your M365 admin can already tell by your IP address. Just like they know when you’re looking at porn when your IP randomly hops states for a little while.

What Imperial Navy? You mean those new drones?

Moving down the stack, Unix systems have never been big on supporting arbitrary drivers: remember that Unix systems were typically coupled to specific machines and vendors. NT, on the other hand, intended to be an OS for “any” machine and was sold by a software company, so supporting drivers written by others was critical. As a result, NT came with the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), an abstraction to support network card drivers with ease. To this day, manufacturer-supplied drivers are just not a thing on Linux, which leads to interesting contraptions like the ndiswrapper, a very popular shim in the early 2000s to be able to reuse Windows drivers for WiFi cards on Linux.

Or is it?

The two are not mutually exclusive. The downvote button is not an “I don’t like this” button.

They were keeping their promise of 10 years of Lightning ecosystem support. Dropping the old iPod connector was highly controversial.

It makes about as much sense as the typical ones anyway. Or, like, the output to nmap --help or something.

I’ve had it with this monkey-fighting war for this Monday-to-Friday quadrant!

Tacky Cardassian fascist eyesore 🥲
