On that note, why don’t they work with Windows (without Thunderbolt) so I can ditch my crappy Dell? :(

You’re right but OP is right too. If you can politic well, you can surpass a 10x programmer due to increased leverage. So, work on both I guess.

Just yesterday I had to do this for the first time with Robinhood. Driver’s License and face scan. No clue why. I had access to my email and phone but it required it.

> The ads in Outlook are if you're using the free @outlook.com email address. I'm using it with a Zoho email account and I haven't seen ads.

Not true. It’s baked into the default mail client (outlook). Outlook is now the default mail client replacing mail.

Yes. During setup, there’s an explicit “no account” option.

Good question. Unfortunately it’s real.

I did it yesterday on a brand new Surface 7 Copilot+ Laptop (such a dumb name…).

I purchased the new ARM laptop Surface. It’s wild how they attempt to optimize Windows.

>Ads in Outlook. Want to remove? $2 a month.

>Want to use Windows productivity software? $100 a year.

>Want to use more copilot features? $20 a month.

>Want to game? Please use our subscription Xbox service.

Etc etc.

I asked a non-tech loved one right now and she doesn’t see anything either. I almost suspect people are claiming they “see” things when they don’t and it’s just a deep understanding of what something looks like.

Wait, do people see images of a clock in their mind? Like you, I know spatially where the hands should point so I assume this is what “seeing” is. Do people see a clock… like a legit visual when they close their eyes?

I just purchased the new Surface Laptop (7) coming from MacOS. I boot it up, ads are in the start menu, ads are in the weather app, ads are in the email application, ads are in the notifications, and edge’s start screen. I research a bit and you much pay $70/year for the office suite and $20/month for copilot+. Yah, nah, already returned it and back with macOS.

Dead on. But I’ve learned that solving actual problems is rewarded less than 25% of the reward allowing delusional business people to dream is.

Yeah, I think we’re just fracturing our talent. If they want to make serious progress, everyone has to be together, not working in their own projects.
