My HR team has been doing layoffs inside their own department. It's kind of interesting to watch.
Yeah. To break down why this meme is bad information, in simple terms:
- You can't deduct "your mortgage". You can only deduct interest on a loan.
- You can't take this deduction on a rental property. You have to live in the home part of the year to take this.
- Since the tax changes in 2017, most homeowners don't deduct mortgage interest anymore, because it's better to take the standard deduction offered to anyone.
Don't share or believe bad information.
So many of my iPhone fan friends have said "Oh, you finally made the switch, you're going to love it" after I recently bought my first iPhone.
It's a phone. It did not magically transform my user experience. It's 95% similar to what I had on a Pixel. Better low-effort privacy. Better direct hardware access for music and video. Significantly more lag, app freezups, and fragility and some baffling user experience decisions.
I would switch back again, or not, doesn't matter.
Quality automobiles.
No issues here. I'm using it right now.
1 FOR 5, 3 FOR 10.
I bought a cheap-ass Asus laptop knowing that the installed wifi module was not supported by linux. So I bought a new wifi module that had linux support for like $20 and swapped it in.
This is the one I got, but I'm sure there are more like it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SH6GV5S
The chatter identified as "Paul" said "Hippo". I don't think the person above you made a bad assumption.
As arch users, we would never need the help of some low-level IT person though. That would be ridiculous.
I remember back in 2017, I didn't really need any big desktop apps anymore. All I used was Salesforce, Netsuite, O365, Postman... I asked my company to just give me a Chromebook. Now I hate Chromebooks and I could very much do my job on a Linux distro mainly using web apps if needed.
My IT dept would never allow it because they can't install security software on it. Obviously I'd be pretty safe from malware, but they'd have to trust that I set up firewalls and password protection because they couldn't enforce a group policy, and their data loss prevention tools wouldn't work.
The HR person who works with my team actually said "I actually really like firing people. Well, that didn't sound right... but I do like making these changes."
ha ha ha... ok. Cool.
