When my employer reimburses me fully, I will pay for two connections. But they don’t, even though they (could) save a ton of money by closing the office.

Even at an insane voltage, still gonna need to be massive diameter cabling.
Yeah, and Putin is mad right back at him because he’s gonna take over Greenland.
I’m holding out for falling out a window.
It’s going to hit GM and Ford who are set up to build cars in Canada and USA. The cars they make in US rely on a global supply chain. It’s going to fuck every carmaker in the US market. Hyundais and Chevys are going to go up in price 30% overnight with the metal tariffs on top of all that.
It has gotten so much better over the years. Which is more testament to how unutterably awful it was at release than how good it is now.
Several years ago I inadvertently (because I didn’t realize who they were) got in a twitter argument with someone who I seem to recall as the creator of electron about how it was fucking embarrassing how bad electron apps are. At the time I kinda felt bad because he seemed like a decent guy and I let loose but I wonder what the carbon footprint of his little side project is…
I think what started the rant was that back at that time, if you scrolled one page back in a chat, it would display a graphic representing a chat while it loaded the chat. And the fucking software was sitting there using a GB of ram and couldn’t keep 5 min of conversation cached. Just inexcusably bad.
I don’t know who at Microsoft had such a hard-on for electron back then, but it seems to have spread and it’s still nowhere close to the good old windows GUI for resource usage.
Thankfully it has gotten better. Slightly. Still pegs my CPU but I think that’s because I have a shit CPU with integrated gfx
It uses a fucking inordinate amount of resources to accomplish its task, mostly.
What sort of isp supplied residential equipment doesn’t block inbound connections? Pedantically, you’re correct.
You have a firewall. It’s in your router, and it is what makes it so that you have to VPN into the server. Otherwise the server would be accessible. NAT is, effectively, a firewall.
Should you add another layer, perhaps an IPS or deny-listing? Maybe it’s a good idea.
Not just salary - H1B are also good at following orders, because if they lose their job, they will get deported.
It’s about 70 million people, and the additional 80 million who were silent.
