They had this restriction in the UK where the networks would prevent hotspots from actually working. You had to buy a special additional package.
Restriction has now vanished and there are no such limits on usage. Not sure if the Regulator intervened but it was most certainly a cash grab.
These days they still manage to rip us off by annual contract increases of RPI+3.9%. That applies even during a 2 year contract.
Some say he is still walking.
Company laptop which is pretty much hardened so no chance of installing anything that is unapproved. No idea how people survive without an adblock.
I know what you mean.
Browsing the Internet at work is a horrible experience. I’m actually shocked at the ad intrusion that I am usually saved from!
They become quiet quitters. Barely putting any effort in and doing the bare minimum.
Folks are not going to bail out company decisions to cull by working extra harder.
They tidy CV and look for next opportunity.
Some companies seem to thrive on regular culls in the name of operational efficiencies. All that happens is talent leaves the organisation and then those left behind struggle because expertise has gone.
It erodes good will and good will is something you can’t win back.
By the time things look like they are normalising, in comes another cull!
Some rental places don’t allow you to mess with walls and it would require repainting if you move.
So not always an option.
Never looked into using firefox but the enshitification has forced me to do so.
We were told that Teams was the bees knees and it would massively enhance collaboration and productivity due to its fantastic integration.
Well, let me tell you that my disappointment was immeasurable.
It is so slow, so inflexible, so unpolished. I despise it for anything other than a quick chat.
HP, permanent member of my shit list.
Yah, good job I have zero interest in Apple products so I can’t actually tell the difference when they start to brag about their phones!
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Yah, everyone just needs to cool down.
Likely scum moves from reddit patriots to destroy or weaken the fediverse.
I remember when Murdoch hired that Israeli tech company in Haifa to find weaknesses is TV smart cards and then leaked it to destroy their market by flooding counterfit smart cards.
They are getting desperate along with those DDOS attacks.
And yet their anti-consumer practices continues to be hailed by their loyal customer base.
It’s mind blowing.
“A fool and his money are soon parted.”
My Dragon 32 or 64 (can’t remember which it was) has a lot to answer for too!
Yah, I never leave home without my bot.
Yah, so bizarre seeing a large room (because there are no available small rooms) with a single individual chatting on a meeting.
Is this how far humanity has come.
Also offices are so noisy.
Its a shit show. Staff can’t event send a text saying they are sick unless they use an approved business communication channel.
Worst still, if you receive said comms from staff on a non approved channel, eg your personal phone, you have to report it to HR.
There is no way bank’s can operate like that so the regulator is going to be lining their pockets for quite some time.
I don’t even know how anyone copes with that. I get 30 days plus public holidays.
Hang on a sec, how do we know you’re not a bot lol
You raise a valid point. Hive mind and weaponising narrative is a danger to us all.
