Good advice always has its exceptions. But in general you should never use a work device for personal use because it's very easy for that information to be either compromised and/or used against you.

My personal guidance is "if you don't own the device, pretend the owner is looking over your shoulder" it's incredibly easy for them to install keyloggers and trackers remotely and silently.

Isn't there a black mirror episode about someone experiencing a terrible fate because of a malfunctioning brain implant that just got FDA approval?

I think it's funnier if it's the chicken nugget's

You don't matter to the world. You may matter to the small group of people who know you, but odds are you're insignificant

What does MKBHD have to do with this? He's just a tech reviewer who kinda fits between tech normie and tech conservative

This guy proves that being smart is not a prerequisite for being rich.

You're being proven right. You will get downvoted for these statements because a majority are just not factual.

The easiest to explain is NFTs are worthless. They have no legal validity for ownership. The largest portion of the NFT market is buying pictures, pictures which are hosted externally and can be taken down without respect to the NFT contract.

So in the majority use-case you neither have the picture stored, nor have exclusive legal ownership. So you're buying access to a very fancy, very energy intensive, url link.

That's not even getting into the politically charged arguments. The whole reason we have child labor laws, minimum wage, and OSHA requirements is because raw, unchecked capitalism was terrible for 99% of people.

There could just be no connection at all. Like how there's a positive correlation between shark attacks and box office sales for Nick Cage movies. There might be some relation between them, but more likely there is no link and it's just random noise that happens to line up particularly well.

The reason why you might see it used as an end statement is because there is no data or clear logical link between the subjects which were correlated. It's basically saying "unless you have some reason to believe they're linked, you should probably assume they're not"

Perfect control over memory.

So able to remember anything with high detail, but also able to forget the cringey stuff from middle school

Avoiding cold water is just bad advice and it's perpetuated by people who do not live in hot climates. It violates thermodynamics to say adding cold stuff makes you hot.

If you're already to the point of sweating, your body is trying to cool you down. Adding cool liquid will make you colder, not hotter. Go read medical recommendations for how to treat heat stress, they will never tell you to drink hot tea and eat some chillies

The US is far from perfect, but we are not currently committing a genocide against our citizens. We have a terrible for-profit justice system, but it's not a genocide.

And, I can't believe it needs to be said, but a country commiting a genocide is worse that a country that's not.

This is exactly why I switched off daily driving Linux after a few months. I didn't find it hard to get things set up initially, but you keep running into constant issues that take hours to troubleshoot and fix.

I got to the point where if I booted up my computer to quickly do a task and I got a cryptic error message that I had to put into Google to fix one more time, I'm not wasn't going to troubleshoot it, I was going to throw my PC out the window.

I love the ideas behind Linux, and I love having open source alternatives to windows and Mac, and I've donated to a couple projects.... but based on my last attempt (1-2 years ago) Linux is still far from being a daily driver alternative on personal computers for the average person.
