- Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees 6 months ago:
remote work is pretty prevalent in finance/banking - at my job only the customer facing folks (branch offices, investment/mortgage, etc) need to actually be in the office - that’s only 30% of the workforce. another 15% is hybrid now, the rest are 100% remote.

- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
it was so bad. didnt help that it had higher hardware requirements than win7, and we didnt really have affordable ssd’s then so everything was so slow - or, that’s what my memory says, I havent used a spinner disk in a long time.

- Comment on Fifty Years of the Personal Computer Operating System 6 months ago:
was cp/m really that good? never used it and all of the media I’ve seen of it looks like just another variant of dos. i grew up using dos, and I use the shell for a lot of stuff at work all the time these days, but i think most people prefer to interact via a gui
