I find them everywhere in my town, just thrown on the ground.
I had no idea what some of them were at first, they looked like Nerf darts or something and then I saw someone sucking on one.
Someone I worked with used to buy all sorts of vapes pre-Covid and I was shocked at the waste they produce. The little one use tanks he would buy, use and just toss. So much plastic and other parts to it, had springs and valves.
She used to visit the one local burger franchise so much that all the staff knew her and she basically had her own reserved booth. Her husband, 2 kids and her would be there most days a week.
They lived across the country from us, but whenever we stayed with them, we were also at the burger place almost daily.
I don't know how our IT system was set up, I had no access to poke around.
But I think it was a bit relaxed, we knew some users were downloading movies in certain office locations. Told to stop rather than clamping down.
So I think everyone was just left to deal with the update schedule themselves because there were maybe... 2 or 3 desktops in the entire office. Everyone was on laptops and didn't leave them running overnight.
At a previous job, I was not doing IT support but another role and I noticed a coworker had a red dot on the Windows Update status bar icon.
Told him I don't think I have seen that before, normally it is orange.
So he tells me that he is trying to see how long he can keep it going before something happens. I recommended against this, and also I normally recommend against using the desktop to store files. The laptop goes up in flames, so do your files. We have OneDrive for business, I know people hate it, but at least your stuff is... relatively safe. Backed up at least with version history.
A few weeks later I was chatting to someone else who sometimes shared my desk, and somehow I mentioned this encounter. A while later, his manager sitting ahead of us is on a phone call and we hear he is getting upset. He hangs up and turns around, tells us.
Him and one sales guy had spent hours on some proposals, worked out all the values and timings and it's gone. All that work gone. His laptop rebooted because Windows updates.
He mentions who... it is the same guy. I tell him I was just telling my desk buddy about him and how he intentionally left his laptop running for months to see what Windows Update would do and clearly he did not take my advice about rebooting and using OneDrive.
The rest of the day... this guy did not stop. Every 30 minutes or so he'd just go "All that work, gone. Why?"
We'd be walking to get lunch, talking about other things and again he'd just switch back to that and turn gloomy again.
When I used to LAN at my friend's house his sister would try poking around my PC when I went to the kitchen for something, told her Windows and L opened some secret menu, boom, locked her out.
But, if this was his code he would defend it and condescendingly tell you that he is correct, you are not knowledgeable enough to understand and let you know he worked at Blizzard for seven years.
XDefiant felt dirty with crossplay on.
A buddy of mine and I had problems playing against console players, the aim assist felt way too strong and I think there was mention of it somewhere.
So we turned crossplay off and we had a much better time instead of getting stomped on.
