how does this work if you live close to another state? As in if you live in a state with sales tax but down the road is a state without sales tax- why ever shop in your state?
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 7 months ago:
No. Why would anyone clap? It was a conversation, which resulting in not having a return to work policy. I doubt I was the sole reason
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 7 months ago:
My company, after covid said “we are considering moving back to a hybrid way of working”. I replied “Well I am considering resigning to go somewhere that is fully remote. I am not the only one”
And we never had a mandatory return to office mentioned again

- Comment on Microsoft looking to restrict kernel level access after CrowdStrike incident might help us with our current Anti-Cheat dilemma 8 months ago:
Apple got away with implementing it
I have no idea either way - floating a question.
Did apple previously allow kernel access and then restrict it again? It seems the specific issue with MS vs McAfee etc is due to originally being allowed access, but microsoft restricted it, affecting their products?

This is about Genshin Impact running on the Steam Deck.

- Comment on Asahi Linux on MacBook air questions 11 months ago:
Are you just using it for random web browsing, if you’re looking things up?
If so, and assuming since you want to get rid of macos you aren’t using the apple ecosystem? imo a macbook seems wildly overpriced for what sounds like light, occasional usage? I have been considering a macbook myself, so this isn’t just applehate or anything. It just sounds to me that something significantly cheaper would fit your usecase still?

What sort of advice are you looking for? Buy the OLED for the reasons you gave. Get a partial refund and get games.
