The tech just isn't ready for that scenario, but I'm hopeful things will change rapidly in the next decade. It reminds me of when they phased out incandescent bulbs almost a decade ago (2012?). I always hated CFL lights so I bough

It amazes me that advertising companies have been able to brainwash companies into paying more for "targeted ads". Usually I spend a few days doing research into whatever big purchase I plan to make, then for the next 6-12 months

In my experience "going above and beyond" tends to get you more work and responsibility for roughly the same pay. I did get the occasional 5% annual raise instead of the standard 2-3% that most of my coworkers received. Even then

My Xfinity "Up to 1Gbps" plan never tests above 60Gbps on any speed test other than their own. If nothing else Starlink should light a fire under Comcast, CenturyLink and others to start providing actual fast internet.
