how do people even get work done on their IT-bloated work machines? i usually end up using my personal computer to do my work because everywhere ive ever worked at gives me a macbook air from like 4-5 years ago that takes half a century just to do my timesheet. but recently adobe acrobat has started crashing on my personal machine too.

like, im just imagining how much time could be saved just buying decent computers instead of LLMs.

That’s not normal. Is it really that difficult to get a working computer? Tell your boss your computer runs too slow to be efficient. Go to IT yourself and tell them the same. This sounds like a you problem lol

Yes. Go to IT. Your computer should be refreshed at least every 4 years.

Im a freelancer and sometimes use my own as well out of the same necessity. I think it works well for agencies to keep handing out crappy computers. Low cost and they het to bill the clients for all the time we spend staring at that dumb beachball.

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?
