My T420 still runs great for development (maxed RAM and SSD) but when my equipment refresh came up and I was faced with the damned keypad and minus the t-bar I jumped ship to a Surface Book. It also doesn't have a t-bar (less important with a touch screen for paging), but the layout doesn't have a keypad, and a bonus is a 3:2 screen ratio which is easier to use for vertical work and gives more real estate.
I never carry cash anymore. I pay-tap everywhere. As to CC transactions, that's payment of last resort. All my bills are paid by direct debit. Not in my list? I get an SMS needed to add. Other transactions, via PayPal if available. Approved by, wait for it, SMS code. Last resort, CC details. They've been hijacked twice, each time reversed withing 18 hours. Get with the times.
Programmed a trs-80 in high school and bought a coco a couple years later. I went through a lot of fazes; Seagate 20mb chatter-drive, 48mb Seagate 3.5" scsi, home grown boxes for several years, and now I'm on a Surface Book that is completely silent and cold to the touch. Ran a bbs. Wrote what passed for open source software in those days.
This toxic lot reminds me why I moved to Australia. Here, uni repayments are affordably deducted only after the graduate starts earning over 60k a year. And there's no interest load.
Nothing like this toxic lot to remind me why I moved to Australia. Where do I begin. Honestly who snacks between meals so why are concession prices relevant. Crowds here are very well behaved. The sound can be too loud true. Where I go I get pre-assigned seating and it's nice to catch an indie after a supper in the city.
I use LastPass just fine, because every site where getting my login details would hurt, I use 2fa: Microsoft, my bank, PayPal, LastPass, Google, etc. Sure I'm picking up my phone once in a while but it's a good balance between secure and convenient. Far less secure are card details; mine got compromised recently but was detected and reversed almost immediately. Which is why I use PayPal whenever possible.
I got lucky. I got into cloud migrations and then devops over the last 3.5 years and it's been amazing. All the buzzwords hated by so many in this group have positively transformed so many disfunctional blue chip organizations. Obsolete: Project Manager. DBA. On-Prem server IT. Approaching obsolete: UAT. As a bleeding edge dev well into my 50's, I reject any assertion that I can't get hired. I get "hired" constantly when a client sees my profile -- aka CV -- and pulls me in on a million+$$ project.
Every time someone voluntarily went to a Windows 10 PC (even though there are alternatives), they have a horror story about it
Hyperbole = bollocks. My partner and I are on W10, it's heaps better than W7 or W8*, and we have no horror stories. Almost everything I use auto-saves, apps reload on reboot, and I have enough discipline to save Notepad files or Sql Manager queries if I want to keep them.
Going after a pot smoker is like going after a person on anti-depressants or an alcoholic who doesn't drive. If they're not operating heavy machinery, just leave them to it.
Open Office lol, try running with that with a real sales team. I use a free suite personally, but I have no choice but to use Office 365 for work, as do 99% of the market.
California is an at-will employment state. As long as the employer is okay with taking the insurance hit they can and will at-will you out the door for no cause whatsoever.

Pointless. 2fa your bank and get on with your life.

Linux is making us hate each other.

Pretty simple fix: leave the uni years off the CV. Or even better, if your profile is good enough, don't bother mentioning it at all.

Um, I've used Selenium on multiple projects across the main three browsers. Yes, FF is built in, but that shouldn't significantly slow you down.

In Australia, de factos refer to themselves as partners. Deal with it.
In no way is that a horror story. Updates running overnight is more convenient than saving a file is inconvenient.
Um, partner is an official designation in Australia.

Is there anybody who makes significant use of hardcopies anymore?
Significant, no, but print, sign, scan, email is pretty common.

It seems to me an admission comes after an allegation. It sounds here like the police responded to an inquiry.
To put it gently, you sound completely incompetent.

This is the year of the Linux desktop.
My 60" screen in apparent size is comparable to a big screen.
Did you type that out on your iPhone? The typos are an embarrassment.
