  • The main risk on company laptops is confidential data on the machine itself or any access the machine has to internal resources, so most locks are designed to be hard agaist that. The device itself tends to have more "bypassable" protection.

    By which I mean: If the machine is locked down, it's usually possible to clear and reset the lock somehow as long as you're fine losing the data on it.

    The specifics vary, but try looking up the model and instructions for resetting and wiping the BIOS/UEFI and see if that has any hurdles.

  • Was considering a new switch, but may hold off now.

    Which tablets do you have in mind? I could not find any suitable for anything but phone games via touch screen and unimpressive battery, but I don't really know this market

  • Resistance to shifting grammar annoys me.

    Educated linguists know really well that language changes over time. It is natural and expected. There are also living valid variations of grammar outside standardized "book" grammar.

    People who are zero educated just go with whatever.

    People who are half educated juuuust enough to be smartasses but not enough to be smart will say shit like "I don't know, can you?" in response to "Can I go to the bathroom". Or pretend an emphasized negation - aka double negative - can be interpreted as a positive.

  • Part of the answer is that the UI is "designed first" and coded to follow the design. If changes are seen as necessary when coding the UI, the design is updated first then the code made to follow.

    So any UI behavior will already have a lot of accurate design and animation resources for them to work with.

  • I hope the word "natural" in rubber doesn't cause the illusion that it is safe.

    Natural rubber is pretty bad if you are allergic to it, and repeated exposure increases risk of developing allergy.

    But that's minor anyway. The process used to create/extract the material and create the product can add toxicants for both rubber and silicone.

    Then check for degradability. Anything that degrades develops cracks and pores, i.e. bacteria breeding grounds.

    Make sure you pick "food grade" or "cosmetic grade", and either pick should be perfectly safe.

  • Keep in mind he is literally a child of the unprivileged commoners, so poking at his origins or genetics is not "punching up". His mom is from a lower class family with drug and alcohol abuse problems, and she had him before meeting the prince.

    Just poke at his personality or actions. There's plenty there.

  • Covertly recruiting a person on another team to start a small project that was in direct opposition to a project my team had planned to start on in a few months and aligned with all relevant stakeholders. He ...disagreed... with it so his solution was to make this other thing happen and then there would be no room for our project when we were going to start.

    Yes, there was liuqid hellfire when we found out. He kept his position as CTO for a few more years. Eventually he pissed off his own boss too many times and got fired very hard.
