Doubt it’ll ever catch on with anything except maybe the largest of orgs. You can just procure office task ready machines so cheaply these days, and Windows 365 is like $45/user/month. Far more than what we pay for windows licensing, user Cals, and office licensing all combined.

Seems fine. They’re providing food, overtime pay, and pto for use at a future date. That’s a better deal than a lot of employees get.
- Comment on Valve released Windows drivers for Steam Deck OLED but no official support 4 months ago:
Official support implies that they will do whatever necessary to take the device from an unworkable state to a workable one.
- Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it? 4 months ago:
Tried! Added one of those white barrel self leveling poke tools (can’t remember specifically what they’re called). It was a huuuuuge pain in the ass and only works about 50% of the time oddly, lol.
- Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it? 4 months ago:
Not really. I purchased one with pretty significant maintenance/process requirements, had I gotten one a little more seamless (self leveling/etc) I think I’d use it far more often than I do now.

- Comment on My experience with eBay Buyer Protection 5 months ago:
I once bought an Intel processor off of ebay for a similar "great, but not too great to be a scam " price. The seller shipped “it” and provided the tracking code with a delivery date to my municipality. When it finally read as delivered I checked my porch and sure enough, nothing. So I reach out to usps the shipping provider with the tracking info. Turns out this seller didn’t even send it to my address, but a random po box in my city. I called ebay with this information (as well as the identical complaints of the exact same experience from several other people who bought from this seller who’d dropped negative reviews in the past week. No big deal, clearly a hacked account used for a scam, right?). Well, ebay told me that despite them not using my shipping address, provably (I had the usps rep who was kind enough put that in writing), and despite the other negative reviews with the same experience, they’d not be giving me a refund since the product was shipped. It took days of arguing over the phone with them, them threatening to close my (in good standing since I’d bought things here and there) account, and them closing my case unresolved for me to just file a charge back with my credit card provider. This caused my account to be closed (losing access to all previous order receipts/etc) and is coincidentally the day I decided I’d never do business with Ebay again and provide my honest feedback on this experience to anyone considering purchasing from them in the future.

- Comment on Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan? 6 months ago:
Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn’t matter if it’s connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you’re getting disk errors it’s best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.

- Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3 8 months ago:
Your original comment does not align with this correction, so I think it’s important to take my view with that context in mind. I cannot read your mind, only what you write, and so yes I do hold you accountable for a crass statement and as far as supporting a company I do believe that’s the root of the problem, companies should not be supported, the people who make up the company should. As far as trusting your intelligence, I do, but I think Agent K said it best years ago. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”. You may believe yourself immune to manipulations; but life will quickly disprove that assumption if you pay attention long enough. We’re all human.
- Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3 8 months ago:
Blizzard at one point in time walked the walk, but aside from just pointing that out I’d like to point out that what was said is that they’d buy anything the company released. That’s an uninformed choice based on toxic brand loyalty. We need not be so crass and careless when engaging with any company. All you’re doing when you do that is opening up yourself to the possibility of being financially exploited when it eventually happens. It may not, and I hope not (especially for Larian. I do adore the work they’ve put into one of my top 5 all time favorite games), but that has historically not been the case and when all these companies make decisions based on quarter to quarter revenue I’d wish you the best of luck spinning down the “hype machine” should they change the standards they previously held themselves to. Imo it’s just a recipe for disaster. You’re much better off spending your fan energy following the people that make up the companies you love.
- Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3 8 months ago:
That’s not a good stance to have. They’ve earned plenty of trust and love, but so had big names like Blizzard at one point in time. Brand loyalty is toxic to consumer culture.

- Comment on Why do (desktop) PC have so few USB ports ? 10 months ago:
You’re the one with exorbitant usb needs. That means you’ll be the one who expansions are made for. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’d wager the vast vast majority of pc users don’t use beyond 4.
