6 days agoI have to have Windows 11 now for security reasons.
Can… you not upgrade your current work machine to win11?
Just tell them that you’ll send them back the laptop for the upgrade if you have to, or IT can do it remotely, but you dont have another PC to use, that’s why you had one issued.
They only way I would use my personal PC is if I am VPN+RDPing into a work machine, and that’s it. I’ve done that many times before, as that’s secure and doesn’t have any work resources on your oc itself, you’re just remotely connecting to your actual work PC over a secure vpn.
That’s the only scenario that I use my personal PC for work.
For those of us using the tools, actively, it doesn’t seem to be a bubble.
For a lot of us it’s already showing tangible measurable productivity increases, primarily on boring stuff normally we’d hate doing.
As an example, I use it often to help with documenting my code, it’s really good at summarizing what my code does abd making clear, legible, professional documentation for all my code.
That sorta stuff would normally take me hours and hours to do, now it takes about 1.
I still proof read it, but a lot of my typing and formatting and humming and hawwing is gone.
There’s a lotta shit like that out there getting streamlined more and more every month that goes by.
I think it’s maybe 50/50 bubble and actual value. Lots of garbage “products” vaporware out there by people on the bandwagon.
But also a lot of the tools truly are useful to folks.
