How long before companies start using this as an excuse for return to office?
Sure, you’ve been working here since before the pandemic, but maybe now you’re a North Korean spy! The only way to be sure is for you to come into the office and average 4 days a week.
Pro tip, you can use Google lens to translate (if you’re like me and don’t care as much about my privacy/have an android phone).
Bean does that all the time, it’s very hard to tell her no.
I would have had today off today.
That’s how I handled my “smart” TV - I had a spare minipc from my old homelab, threw Linux on it and plugged it into the HDMI port.
It has never connected to my network, despite the BestBuy employee insisting it would need firmware updates for better picture.
It’s good to see left shark has joined the rat race.
Oh you sweet summer child. There is zero chance that the cost savings will be passed on to consumers. In fact, I’ll bet prices go up after an initial plateau.
At first, profits will rise due to the lack of $30/hr costs - and shareholders will celebrate the innovation.

I use skyline in our environment and man, that log collection is crutch for getting tickets updated. Oh, you need the logs? Request what you need and I’ll approve it - or I can just click a few buttons and upload the logs when I create the ticket.

I’m not seeing any replies that are super helpful for your question - so here’s what I do: throw a Linux desktop on a Raspberry Pi, or NUC and use the TV like monitor. Get a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and watch Plex through the appimage or just Firefox. Bonus, now any website that does video can be viewed on your big screen tv without dealing with any casting apps.
