I do exactly this; log on occasionally to finish small things, take the occasional emergency call from a colleague to help them out, work a little past the end of my shift just to get stuff done, etc. whilst I recognise it’s bad and advise others not to do it, I do as it feels like a small sacrifice for what I get in return.

I am 100% WFH. I save 2 hours a day on commuting, plus not having to iron shirts and general office-level prep. I save money on fuel and car maintenance. I have ready access to my own food and drink and is healthier than what’s in range of my office. I get to be with my family more, help the missus with our 2 young kids when needed, do housework or play with the kids on my lunch. I can focus on my work rather than having people constantly talking to me.

All these things combined make me considerably happier and calmer, even though my job is actually incredibly stressful :D haha.

Whilst I never condone working for free, I justify it to myself as a trade; never make me come to an office ever again and I’ll chuck in the extra 10% every now and again, haha.

The only bad thing about Ethernet cables is that they’re shaped like a goddamn grappling hook. If I wanna pull an Ethernet cable through my desk, I must understand that every other cable in its path is coming with it.

Sorry, I’ve just discovered from this thread that apparently Google has its own Find My! I was referring to Apple’s, sorry about that.

They already are, at least here in the UK. I’ve got a bunch of Eufy tags, work great.

Wait, is it? Like, vanilla, not Northstar? I stopped playing months ago because I’d leave it running looking for a match in the background with my speakers turned up so I could go do chores and watch TV and then run back if I heard the “joining game noise”, occasionally checking to see if matchmaking kicked me out to the menu. It was just too much hassle to get into a game.

Is all that fixed now? Can I come back? Please god, can I play TF|2 again?

I tried to get into Usenet but I’m old and unable to learn new tricks. I just looked at EasyNews and it’s $9.99 pm for 20GB :| so, like, a single 4K movie with Atmos. I don’t understand the allure of UseNet, perhaps because I am a dumb.

Goddamn, it’s beautiful, congrats on getting to endgame, even if it is temporary, haha. I started with a Dedica, currently on a Bambino Plus and was looking at the Profitec Go for when it dies but I’d completely forgotten the Elizabeth exists!
