  • I never turn my work laptop on at home. I don't even have any bookmarks saved in the browser. I have a .txt file synced using Syncthing that I treat as a perpetual notepad where I keep my links. I don't think I've even turned my work laptop on at home or charged it at home this year.

    Of course, these are things I can get away with since I'm a professor. But still, I have received emails asking if I need training on how to use my computer because I have barely used it. They really, really wanted me to use Outlook instead of the webapp for some reason. I never did. But, they were so insistent. Recently we lost the ability to change wallpaper, default browsers and quick launch icons.

    Work computers: almost a neat perk.
