  • There are plenty of times when wireless solutions does not in fact “do trick”.

    We only have a limited available radio frequency spectrums we can use.

    And trust me, if you have a wireless AV transmitter to the projector in a meeting room it may work fine with five people in the romm, but it will fall on it’s arse when there are 50 people in the same room.


  • This has nothing to do with security, and everything to do with liability.

    You can’t really sue an open source project using a proper license, they disclaim any liability or warranty, meaning the buck stops with you.

    If you hire a software development firm and pay for them to build software for you, you will have a different license, the software company can just repackage open source software into their own UI and branding, take the money and declare bankruptcy if their customers try to sue them.

    The customers are mostly happy, they get to tick the box that they have a support contract for the software and a company is liable if shit hits the fan. The software development company is happy, they get money for doing very little actual work.

    The open source project probably doesn’t know about the abuse of the license and thus mostly doesn’t care.















  • If he was rational, he would understand that companies like this have a huge incentive to inflate the score of anyone participating.

    If he had got an 87, do you think that he would have posted his score?

    Absolutely not, then the company would not get free advertising, costing them business.

    I don’t believe it is fully fake, but I would not be surprised to see them rounding up any edge cases, this goes for the entire industry


  • I am in general a big proponent for going to go to the office, I am an IT guy, and I find I have more focus when in the office, I also don’t want to associate my home with work, I need the physical separation and I find it to be easier to coordinate with others in the office.

    That being said, this CEO is stupid, loneliness is not cured by being forced to interact with people that I need to be paid to interact with.

    I also realize that just because I find the office beneficial, does not mean I get to dictate how other people should feel about it.
