>I suspect the article is just an ad. They want to sell a watch for "tough guys" and came up with that story.

Look at this £240 tacticool watch we, the authors happen to sell. Meanwhile when I was in we all wore the disposable £5 casio you could get from Argos an didn't care if it got smashed up

steep learning curve if you've never used a split\ortho board but once you learn how to type again (couple of weeks for me), other than that my wrist pain is now gone! only real downside is people asking why I have a pair of glowing oven gloves on my desk

> Teams started hogging my keyboard media keys last week just to play the ring tone twice when pressing play/pause. The media player won't react to these inputs anymore and I have to click with my mouse. Nice going, Teams devs.

Have also been experiencing this, call finishes so I press play to turn music back on, hear teams dialling tone. Annoyingly triggering

My current employer is all too quick to say how well the company is doing, I bought up COLA with a director and was told 'we were all the in the same boat'

Sure we are, and that's why I'm jumping ship

Currently it's more acceptable to set the ocean on fire than it is to protest against the ocean being on fire.

So might be a while
