Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

After reversing its position on remote work, Dell is reportedly implementing new tracking techniques on May 13 to ensure its workers are following the company's return-to-office (RTO) policy, The Register reported today, citing anonymous sources....

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.

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

VPN services are widely used by businesses - does this prohibition affect them?

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

the "change" is that laptop ram is socketed again?

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

ah, power constraints. yeah that tracks

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

what State's have battery fabs? not KY, obviously - but, others, presumably?

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

LLM's will probably improve at an exponential level - similar to how cpu's did in the 80s/90s. in ~10 generations the LLMs will likely be very useful

win11 is hot trash. seems like every other windows release is a skip. did Ballmer enshrine that or was it Gates?

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

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.

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

yeah 8.1 wasnt that bad (supported it, didnt use it), 10 was way better than 8.1 imho. thinking win10 is going to be my last win though.

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

thats going to be an issue - at my work roughly 60% of the userbase is connected via VPN at any given point - so, ~40,000 people or so

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

same, and only reason I even looked at the article. why cant crypto just die already? it's just a huge scam

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

really hope so - my work's ServiceDesk is based in India and they're barely functional - nothing gets fixed until the problem gets passed to an American IT person.

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

use win11 at work, dont like it much. when win10 hits EoL I'll dither for a year or so before switching over to mint or some other distro full time

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

eh, I could just pirate their words if I so chose & there'd be fuckall they could do about it

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

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

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

probably a good thing but just banning something doesnt do anything - you have to enforce it by getting rid of the software & then keep enforcing it

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

cool - but if their product lines are modular and they try to break out of their niche market. whats to stop someone with a lot more capital from snapping them up (Dell, Lenovo, etc)?

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

lol wat. why?

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

had no idea they were still in production

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

cant imagine that Nintendo will let that fly for very long...

MakePorkGreatAgain ,

if a content creator doesnt want people to be able to skip the ads/demonetize the content, then they should post on a platform that makes ads mandatory.

problem is that no one will watch crap on that sort of platform
