2007... Not as traditional but still very authentic to many - our whole channel used it back then.

I want to find my device if it's lost. I also want it to react to being connected to my desktop docking station without having to open it.

> but the idea of trying to apply a permission/access control layer is nightmare material.

In your case of many disparate services, the nightmare is just the same with REST.

Eh, no. The company has its nose up my life enough already.

What, pay for receiving messages? I have never seen that, not during roaming or even on IoT plans or completely free plans.

It's using Word to render html. They tried using a browser engine but then it rendered a copy-pasted Word text differently and users hated that.

Use RADIUS then. If you told someone the password, they can share it

Macbooks also wake from sleep while closed and yet it doesn't destroy the computer. How is the computer supposed to do background checks / send its location etc if it can't wake up for a short while?

Nope, you're talking about the full breakup. First antitrust court case described as "leading to divestment" ended in 1974. Look at wiki, that's where I verified it before I posted.

"Looking for work" on LinkedIn and replied to one of the hundreds of messages.

1974 was officially the first year of the end of AT&T (conclusion of the antitrust case leading to divestment), and they probably already knew few years before that.

I am well aware that the productivity is not "bad" and that there isn't a net shortage. That doesn't imply we don't need the improvement, or that it won't have a significant impact.

I'd refrain from calling people naive. Farmers would call your approach naive as they know that every promile of productivity counts and can make or break their investment. As you said, this is very unintuitive and it's hard to imagine how much can a tiny increase of productivity at the base level change at the output - but it really is a lot.

Yes, optimization of the technology we use to produce food is exactly the answer.

One marketing name (Galaxy S9) has multiple different model numbers - I installed a custom ROM on many Qualcomm as well as Exynos Samsung phones, is not as bad as you make it sound.

Personally I consider the Exynos phones to be better - more customizable, less weird code running in hypervisor mode. Performance is good.

Informal "meetings" became impossible and got replaced by formalized meetings. What could be resolved with a quick look over the table to the two other devs I need to talk with, and everyone else on the team was nearby and could hear or join the discussion, now must be a formal calendar invite because otherwise we built an information silo.

I had an example of that just this Friday (but really every day). A peer review got so complex that chat wasn't nearly enough, the PR comments were getting repetitive, and it resulted into 3 full draining hours of calls full of misunderstanding, stuck shared screens, "please can you zoom your editor I have a much smaller screen than you", etc. We used to solve issues like that with a quick look on the display next to us, maybe 20 minutes of on and off discussion while doing other things, few more quick looks and it was done. Same team, same people, less senior than now (before covid).

I love the flexibility but hate everything else about remote work.

No, it doesn't. It requires root, and that breaks all the apps.

So why does my android phone not allow sudo or chroot, and when I root it my bank application stops working, citing the EU payment service regulations? Virtualization is not enabled too, even though the cpu supports it.

You're not going to make a measurable difference at all this way. What needs to be done is a complete change of the zoning system.

The catch 22 for this assumption is that they want to be richer than their own money would allow

There was a comment about people doing the work not voting for it - well that's because they're not the stakeholders. They are always free to start their own companies or buy stock - that will make them share the risk and give them voting rights. They have chosen to go the risk free guaranteed cash payment way instead.
