TPM? That's on most laptop on the planet. The reason they required it is for drive encryption, meaning if someone physically took out your drive and plugged it in on another PC, it won't boot up. And it works on a hardware level, regardless of what flavour of the OS installed. Mobo manufacturers don't really want to add it for desktop PCs since it's an addeed cost, and anything they can cut cost on, they would.

Last time I used my Linux it did an update and it wouldn't recognize my windows disk anymore. Now I need to disconnect everything except the disk I want to boot otherwise it's not recognized. This means I need to install Linux again but I need to find time to do that.

Every flavour of Linux I have tried has some godforsaken issue that is a showstopper for me, a person who actually uses their computer for work. Example: Pop! OS does not allow you to sort your filesystem search results after searching, something that every search system has done since the 1980s. According to the developer of the search system (in Nautilus), it "wouldn't be search" if users could sort their results after the search has completed. This is something that 99% of users who do office work need. Pop! OS is marketed towards people who work in science, like data scientists. Data scientists sure don't have large datasets to search through and sort, do they? Boy howdy! Then the most common issue is that no distribution seems to give a shit where I want my windows to be. Because my primary monitor, set as my primary monitor, is to the right and underneath my secondary monitor, every time I open a program, it decides that my secondary monitor is actually my primary monitor. If by some stroke of divine luck the program actually opens on the last monitor I was using it on, full-screening it (say it is a browser playing a video) will fullscreen onto the other monitor. Other fun things: When a linux desktop machine (Wayland or X11) is put in locked mode with the password prompt, disconnecting a monitor will briefly show everything that was on that monitor's desktop on the other monitor. Boy howdy is that secure now we have high-speed cameras in our phones! I have now tried all of the 'top' linux distributions, and I keep having these sort of issues and having to spend hours fixing shit when **I need to do actual, real-world work.** Linux is fine if you want to tinker, develop, or just browse the web. For all of us that do other, time-sensitive, office-style work, it is absolutely shit. This is because Linux distros are not Operating Systems. Operating Systems are integrated systems with a defined way of doing things and a consistent design and operation philosophy throughout. Linux distributions are more like a skip into which a bunch of badly-interconnected systems are shoved without any fucking thought.

I gave CoPilot a good try on a trivial programming question. It generates answers immediately, all code, and nicely commented, too. Except it doesn't work. Took 4 go-round, after which I got code almost identical to what I'd done beforehand. It was a very simple problem, requiring 3 or 4 lines of actual code. So in effect it had to iterate once for EVERY line of code.

I've worked somewhere that required timesheet reporting. It truly is invasive. Not only did I have to mark down primary tasks down to the minute, but miscellaneous tasks performed had to be listed, described, and timestamped as well. And every minute had to be accounted for. I was once called in for a timesheet I'd submitted for the previous pay period, where I'd missed noting down one of those miscellaneous items. They were demanding to know, a week+ after the fact, what I'd done for those four minutes. Hell if I know. I'm no slacker, I know I was doing *something*, but I couldn't have *told* you at that point what it had been! And if you've noticed that this kind of reporting doesn't leave any space for things like going to the bathroom, having a social conversation with a coworker you pass in the hall, etc...you would be correct. Those little things that make you feel like a human rather than a robot were not permitted. If you engaged in those activities, even on the order of just 10 minutes over your entire work day, you had to *lie* on your timesheet to cover the time you'd spent. It was incredibly demeaning, and if I hadn't been fresh to the workforce I don't think I would have put up with it. I literally didn't know any better.

They still need to deal with insurance and possibly file a police report. They need to make arrangements for transport in the immediate future, be it finding someone to get a ride from, Uber, or rental car. Do they also need to make arrangements for other family members that rely on them for transportation? Not to mention the possibility that they were injured in the collision. Why not just let your employee take the day off so they can get those things settled? That way they come in the next day with a clearer mind and better focus. It's also just a decent thing to do for your employee, though I know a lot of bosses don't care about their employees.
