Sounds like the Dells we use at work. Except we can’t run Linux on them.

The Windows images we use are so loaded down with background programs they’re unusable as a laptop.

Ouch 😣

I’m grateful that my case was more of a “Hey, we like your work and saw you had a shitty laptop - have a new one.” So I got to install whatever I wanted so long as I had Linux and clang.

I wish we could do that! Our laptops sit on a desk at the office and then come home on occasion for telework.

The make us use Teams and all the Office 365 junk. 😫

Yeah that bites.

Finally moved off office - using markdown for almost everything now.

Teams… not sure how they ever sold that one to people. We use slack, which is better but not by much. I’d really like to get us on Zulip.

I don’t get it either. The bosses took away all our servers (except the DCs) and moved us to OneDrive and now they’re taking away the phones and pushing to use Teams for that too.

Wow. They managed to make phone calls even less secure.
