Ostensibly, that’s what it’s for.
Of course, the online features are bait on the hook.
I think the barrier to entry needs to be higher.
Which part of Apex did they find inspirational?
Darths and Droids - Star Wars rewritten as a TTRPG campaign, started in 2007, still regularly updating, fantastic (ab)use of the source material
Also check out Dr. McNinja. It ended years ago but the entire series can be downloaded from archive.org (legally).
Style, baby!
You can’t actually sit under the sloped side windows.
Is there any possibility of mounting some threaded inserts inside the body and running some screws through the panel?
When you’re using the mouse and resting your hand on it, you’re going to be putting a lot of pressure at random angles on it. As you move your hand around the plastic will flex and twist - any semipermanent bond is going to work loose pretty quickly. Also if it’s gummy or sticky it will pick up dust and crud. Fasteners would be better.
Correct.
But we don’t need employees to audit your use of company devices - we have LLMs for that. We can always define what is “work related” and flag anything that doesn’t match, or any web addresses that are outside the pre-approved list (it doesn’t have to be blacklisting, we can do whitelisting too).
And yeah, they won’t fire you right away… they’ll just collect data, and use it to justify firing you when they decide that you cost too much.
I mean… you should always assume that everything on a company-owned device is being monitored.
And yeah, just because there weren’t immediate consequences doesn’t mean there won’t be any.

Empathy is not some mere emotion that you feel - a fleeting reaction to some external sensation. Empathy is an intentional shifting of perspective, where you experience another’s circumstances as if they were your own.
This is a skill, meaning that it is something which you learn through practice, and that you do on purpose, until the doing of it becomes instinctive and no longer requires intent.
To say “I do not feel empathy” is to give yourself an excuse not to practice. This is a cop-out, used by weak people. Do not wait to “feel” it before you practice. Always remember you do not practice only for the sake of other people, but for the sake of your own growth and edification.
Always buy local if you can. It has the lowest climate impact.
Even buying a less-green local product vs. a more eco-friendly import might have less climate impact due to resource extraction, production in areas with possibly less environmental protection regulations, and above all shipping.
Climate cost-benefit outweighs all other arguments for rational people.

Amazon is a terribly exploitative company, but… they might actually be better than Oracle, and AFAIK Bezos isn’t in bed with Trump like Ellison is.

There’s this quote attributed to Rabbi Yisrael Salanter:
There are two lessons here. First - the best way to affect meaningful change is to start local. Rather than spending a lot of time agonizing over national politics, get involved in your community - your neighborhood, your town, your apartment building, even just the house you share with your family. Your community will take better care of you and the other people that you care about than any national government ever will.
Second - ultimately the only person whose behavior you can change is your own. Don’t be too harsh with other people when they don’t behave the way that you believe they should. Be a more stringent judge of your own behavior.
But temper that with this:
