Quoting: KimyrielleThat's the first time I hear a company claiming that remote-work would somehow be less efficient than working in an office. lol!

You must be joking. I'm working in a big software development department and it is just... hard. The infrastructure is fine for 5% working from home. It is overwhelmed with 90% working from home. I took two weeks off because I couldn't bare it.

Also, it is helpful to look people in the eyes.

Quoting: EhvisNetflix then denied it and said it was only reducing bandwidth, but not quality. As if that is actually possible. And even with that reduction, AMS-IX broke a record 8 Tbit/s last night.

"In Europe, for the next 30 days, within each category we’ve simply removed the highest bandwidth streams. If you are particularly tuned into video quality you may notice a very slight decrease in quality within each resolution." [External Link]

Guess they should keep it this way then? ;)

Quoting: ArtenI'm little worried about this month Steam Hardware & Software Survey results, to be honest...

Yeah, people digging up their PCs in lockdown probably won't find a Linux box under the dust...
(Still, I'm more than a little worried about other things.)

Quoting: HoriBtw guys, seriously, do stay at home.

:dizzy:

Not feasible for 99% of the working population.

While of course it's not feasible for a large portion of the working population, I'm quite confident many people are doing computer work that could be done at home - a way of work that should get a push by this (if that's good or not is another question).

Quoting: BotonoskiI feel kinda bad having all these interesting free games at my disposal that are absolutely deserving of my attention, but then ignoring them in favor of playing more Minesweeper.
No idea what the deal is with my recent Minesweeper addiction, it just makes me so angry that I can't help but constantly replay it.

I don't know if you're aware, but there's a "fair minesweeper" variant:

Quoting: wvstolzingFunnily enough, it's one of those English words that have two *related*, but almost opposite meanings. See: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/moot [External Link]

Another such example is 'sanction'.

The German word "umfahren" means driving around somebody/something or driving over (run over) somebody/something, just depending on the pronunciation. :D
