Does that make it legal? Cool.

Yes, but you HAVE to wank on company time using the company laptop.

I have ThinkPad at work which is pleasant enough to touch due to rubberised plastic but wanking with it sounds tricky because of how stiff it’s hinges are.

Doesn't it have the ThinkPad rubber nipple(TM)?

How else would you engage in a foreplay with your laptop?

Isn't that the red one? At least there's no excuse for not being able to find it.

There's no need to kink shame here. That is only allowed outside of business hours.

They're not saying they did it for Meta's own personal use. They're arguing a bunch of private individuals did for their own personal use and they just happened to be using Meta's network, which, given that this is about 157 downloads, it honestly makes sense.

As per other crimes, only if you are rich.

No, but they can say that it was all Jim's fault and then fire Jim.
