Which is infinitely better than me accidentally sending it to my home printer...


How does it work with the Enterprise Agreements these days? A few years ago it was common to hear that customers got O365/Azure included in their EA (likely free), but weren't using it. Don't know how much truth there was to it, since I don't have first hand experience. Are EAs with bundled cloud still a thing? (Were they ever?)


If you are a core cal customer there is a bridge cal to link your subscriptions to the EA. They do not want you to carry office as perpetual software and will encourage you to negotiate away your ability to terminate O365 and get your licenses back, if you had that right.

The push now that I hear about is subscription windows, pstn dialing/O365 E5 and azure commit.


Innovation by Regulation. It’s tiresome and I wonder when the EU will give up on this pipe dream


This THE list of questions to ask any team or employee to get a health check. Great book, by the way.


Das 4 with blue switches at _home_ right, not at work? I think I would be shanked if I ever brought mine in again to the office


Blue switches at work - I do check with in those nearby my every 4-8 weeks (truly!) to see if my typing is annoying anyone, so far in (6 years or so on blues or similar) everyone just laughs and says they’ll let me know if it’s a distraction but this far it’s not to them.

Several people have noted to the theme of the fact that typing has quite a rhythm to it, so it’s not like an intermittent or seemingly random noise thus they don’t seem to find it distracting.

By contrast people would be seriously pissed if someone had a desk phone plugged in or a cell phone with an audible ring tone.


Most developers I've worked next to, don't mind it at all, since they focus on their tasks, flow etc. Most non-developers have told me they would prefer I use something quieter. :)


I miss it more than I miss Reader :(


> Legitimate interests is not defined. So good luck with that.

Are you expecting GDPR (or any law for that matter) to define an exhaustive list of every definition, that holds true now as well as for the future? Have a rethink about that statement...


Yes. I do expect that. It is a reasonable expectation that the laws are clearly understandable by those subject to the laws.

Just as companies need to be specific about how they use data now the legal-judicial system needs to be specific about what it means and intends.

It is a double standard because the legislators are not interested in the commercial impact.


Meditations easily has my highest rate of highlighted words in relation to total book length. Seems like every page (almost) has some eternal and profound in it.


Why can't a publication like NY Times put 2 minutes into editing an article or op ed piece into something a bit more pleasant to the eyes? It wouldn't take much to add some subheadings, make key words/phrases bold.

Getting tired of publications where Wall of Text hits you for +100 hp...
