This does not surprise me in the slightest. I got a whole diatribe and stream of insults when a user complained that we’d epoxied the USB holes in his desktop PC because he couldn’t bring his music in on a USB stick.

This was an airgapped network in a defence installation. They weren’t even allowed to bring in any personal possessions.

I had an employer who stuck with NT4 into the late 00's primarily because it didn't support USB for this security scenario. Our PCs had the ports but they were effectively useless.

What an ingenious solution, meanwhile here we are, paying vendors to get to disable USB ports on company machines! /s

Depending on the pay, I'll come by with some cutters and physically remove the USB ports from your machines.

I recommend joining a local choral group. Singing your own music can definitely quell the desire to amass and carry around gobs of pre-recorded crap.

I play the piano. That does it for me :)

Me too but I still love listening to gobs of music on Spotify.

Ugh. You’re one of those choral members looking down their noses at ‘popular music’.

One of the many reasons I left and the groups fail to attract new members.

GP was being sarcastic, right? And you, too, right?

He's just damaged by that lot. I had an ex girlfriend who was one of them.

I annoyed her by playing black metal all the time instead.

My coworkers are not overly appreciative of my soulful acoustic rendition of Mick Gordon's BFG Division.
