Just about every company does something like this.
At one point in my career, I just started buying my own monitors and bringing them into work.
I remember when ~19 or 20" was the norm, and I bought a dell 30" 2560x1600 monitor. Best $1400 I ever spent, used it for years and years.
(I still have it although I retired it a few years back because it uses something called dual-link DVI which is not easily supported anymore)
I think if you are an engineer, you should dive headlong into what you are. Be proactive and get the tools you need. Don't wait for some management signoff that never comes while you suffer daily, and are worse at your job.
I think this thinking is very common at the end of life. You want to do Something Meaningful for your family, and passing on the fruits of your labor to grandchildren is meaningful, giving them education, medical care and opportunity.
There are lots of tax laws that support this.
Do you think it is immoral for creative ip, ip in general, or even money?
> Americans are stuck in ICE engines because they’ve been told they’re “car enthusiasts”
actually I think there are two strange things going on.
Tesla has completely dominated acceleration vs ice cars. The model S can dor 0-60 in (admittedly fudged) 1.99 seconds. The model 3 performance has 500 or 600 horsepower.
This has created lots of EV enthusiasts.
BUT - they have also been screwing things up.
By taking away displays like the dashboard in model 3, or controls like drive select, turn signals and putting everything on the touchscreen... there's a really terrible UI. Who can be an enthusiast without being part of the car control equation?
Well observed, sir. I’m felicitous, since, during the
course of the penultimate solar sojourn, I terminated my uninterrupted
categorisation of the vocabulary of our post-Norman tongue.
I hope you will not object if I also offer my most enthusiastic contrafribularities.
Thus, I’m anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulations.
May I offer you a pendigestatery
interludicule? Anything I can do to facilitate your velocitous
extramuralisation.
oh I love the old shows that were written with two-level humor.
think foghorn leghorn with funny physical humor for the kids and subversive humor for the parents.
Sort of related -- I have friends who are immigrants to the US. They have a hard time with subtle types of humor, but some extra physical humor can sometimes let them have a good time anyway.
You should strive to sit with your head balanced on top of your neck, with your arms relaxed at your side and elbows at 90 degrees. wrist rest. good seating position. no donut cushion. etc
tilting your head back to look at a monitor above or to the side will use muscles to hold your body in place and misalign your spine/etc. leads to fatigue/stress/long-term issues
I think there's a parallel universe with things like system administration. I remember people not valuing windows sysadmins (as opposed to unix), because all the stuff was gui-based. lol.
I don't mind duck duck go's search assistant.
