Looking forward to see the 3D prints made to fix this "feature".
Im picturing them sending "cash" with the amount written in comic sans.
Mostly better safe than sorry, but not over compensating IMO. All these large companies in China are partially government owned and many of them have known bad security and backdoors that have been exploited (e.g. to create botnets) and could potentially be exploited by the Chinese government who is less friendly with the West these days.

One major downside of hybrid working really is that if you are having a meeting where even a single person is not there, then the entire meeting may as well be a video call. If you are on a video call, then why do you need to be in the office for it?

This seems to be a case of start with a horrible plan that they know will make everyone angry only to roll it back to a plan that still sucks but isn't quite as bad to try to reduce the sting. The thing is, I don't think their customers are that stupid.
Why wouldn't you prefer a headphone jack in your phone? It is yet another option for headphones that worst case you don't use. The only reason it has been removed is because it saves companies a few cents on the cost to build the product.
I purchased an ATI Radeon X700pro to install in the family computer so I could finally play Morrowind.
