Good advice always has its exceptions. But in general you should never use a work device for personal use because it’s very easy for that information to be either compromised and/or used against you.

My personal guidance is “if you don’t own the device, pretend the owner is looking over your shoulder” it’s incredibly easy for them to install keyloggers and trackers remotely and silently.

You answered it for me. This is exactly what I was thinking.

This guy proves that being smart is not a prerequisite for being rich.

Avoiding cold water is just bad advice and it’s perpetuated by people who do not live in hot climates. It violates thermodynamics to say adding cold stuff makes you hot.

If you’re already to the point of sweating, your body is trying to cool you down. Adding cool liquid will make you colder, not hotter. Go read medical recommendations for how to treat heat stress, they will never tell you to drink hot tea and eat some chillies

This is exactly why I switched off daily driving Linux after a few months. I didn’t find it hard to get things set up initially, but you keep running into constant issues that take hours to troubleshoot and fix.

I got to the point where if I booted up my computer to quickly do a task and I got a cryptic error message that I had to put into Google to fix one more time, I’m not wasn’t going to troubleshoot it, I was going to throw my PC out the window.

I love the ideas behind Linux, and I love having open source alternatives to windows and Mac, and I’ve donated to a couple projects… but based on my last attempt (1-2 years ago) Linux is still far from being a daily driver alternative on personal computers for the average person.
