Yes, but you guys are missing the point. Saying it would be stupid for someone to quit a good job just because of the laptop provided by the company, is not talking about people who have to use a specific setup for their job. It is talking about people who use their laptop to go online for various websites, send and recieve email from vendors and customers, type up documents and make presentations, and other general office work. Not someone programming for specific systems, and certainly not the " ram- and cpu- data analyses" to be done on a 10-year-old system.
Context is important, but you have to make the effort to understand and accept the context that is implied in general statements.
The user folders are probably kept on the server, for when they are in the building. With a full local copy for when they aren't. But I doubt they do system state backups of 1000+ laptops every night.
You might consider your data worthless without full-time redundant backups across multiple servers at multiple redundant offsite storage farms. But I'm sure other companies figure out what the worth of the data is, and what the worth of the server farms is, and what the worth of the actual procedure is. And then they chose how much worth to spend money on.
One site I support frequently doesn't even have an open guest wifi. You need to request permission, and the support desk will respond to the employee sponsoring you (for me that's the local IT team) with a login and password.
Thank you for giving the one corner case where that would make sense. Also I heard several Nascar drivers threatened to quit because they were given 10 year old cars to drive.
Considering the user gets told "Sure we can fix that and get it back you tomorrow", as opposed to "Sorry, your laptop is going to be out of service for at least a week", I'm sure the users are much more content than you would think.
I really don't understand your point. Did Donald Trump deserve to be born into a wealthy family? What about Paris Hilton?
Can was put this stupid bullshit to bed already?
My parents had me. My mother gave birth to me. My father impregnated her so she would give birth to me. Did they go to a lab and design a baby like I can build a toy car? No, of course not. They mated and produced an offspring, maybe planning for it, maybe not.
Did I deserve to be born into a family of poor farmers? Was I put into that situation by the universal gods? Did Fate grab a potential sentience and implant it into a randomly formed organism that grew into myself?
No. I am the biological result of two people doing what has been going on for millions of years. Asking whether someone "deserves" it, or using the ridiculous term "genetic lottery", or somehow implying there is anything more involved that natural instinct and behavior is asinine, and simply reveals your jealousy at not having as much as another person. You want Trump's money, end of story.
Stop blaming your childish jealousy on the cosmic gods. They don't deserve it.
Then you don't read any news you don't agree with. Omar Mateen was a registered Democrat.
You mean Omar Mateen ticked a box on a form, with no verification or checking?
And I'm sure you make that same comment when a 'possible Republican' does something. Right?
Wow, that sure means a lot. He could have done that by mistake, picked it randomly, done it for subversive purposes, or somebody else could have done it.
And his father just accidentally showed up at a Hillary campaign speech too. I'm sure his whole family just happens to support liberal Democrats, but they have no real reason why.
Now what do you know about his actual politics? Maybe he decided to reject being a Democrat due to his outrage over homosexuality.
And maybe he was a committed Democrat who wanted to purge his beloved party of the unclean. You don't know either. All we do know is that he was indeed a registered democrat who hunted down and shot a lot of gays one night.
I just had a discussion a few weeks back with a European who completely dismissed my argument along those same lines. I asked about how the President of the EU is elected, and he wouldn't accept any argument I made after that, because there isn't the office of "the President of the EU".

After just a few years of that kind of pay, they'd be able to afford those.
Yeah, that's what we all think.
fucking your mother, retard.

Check the ingredient label for "plumbum", usually either third or fourth listed.
Sure, a blank Windows load, with default apps, and let the user spend the next week customizing it like they had their old one. How perfect!
I wish that people knew what "first world", "second world", and "third world" actually mean.
They are not comparative standards of living.
I thought that's how all hacks work. You mean the movies are wrong?
I have seen that destroy a laptop. Thankfully we talked the manufacturer to cover the repair under the warranty.
Spring-loaded shrapnel bombs under the bezel?

That's why I changed my sig. Got tired of repeating it in every thread.
I'm in Florida. I'll check the numbers
Trump: 4,617,886
Clinton: 4,504,975
Johnson: 207,043
Stein: 64,399
So Johnson had more than the margin between Trump and Clinton, while Stein had about half the margin.
Are you claiming that the country was doing really well when Reagan got elected?
Know we know you are either clueless or simply repeating lies your professors told you.

You need to increase those last two number references by a couple orders of magnitude.
A large group wanted to do that 4 years ago. Now they have changed their minds for some reason.
And if you actually read the comments I linked to, you would understand that that wasn't the issue.

Your post is truly a case of No True Scotsman.
I'm struggling to find any Democrats that actively engaged in hunting and killing gay people.
Then you don't read any news you don't agree with. Omar Mateen was a registered Democrat.
This is what you get when you engage in hate campaigns. Is it what you wanted? If not, then find something to believe in besides hating people.
Where was this outrage when Senator Gabby Giffords was shot?
There was a lot of outrage at the leftist that shot Representative Giffords. But since you fail at so much already, I doubt you will believe it.
Soap box, ballot box, ammo box, jury box, McNugget box, beat box, lunch box, black box, P.O. Box, Suggestion Box, Safe deposit box, Letter Box, Sand Box, Sky box, check box... Wait, what were talking about again?
You should have used bento box in place of McNugget box. They are way better.
