    Ah okay, then it makes sense to have a bit more power locally. I absolutely get what you mean. I worked in onsite IT support the first 10 years of my career and in the beginning I had an absolutely crappy hp notebook with some dualcore processor and like 500MB RAM (don’t remember the reals specs, but it felt like that). There has to be a minimum device requirements to be able to work without getting stressed by your device :D Yes it’s an exclusion and most of the time I think it’s good as it is. I also worked in an IT department of another big company and you can’t imaging what user are able to do. I - and pretty everyone who did this kind of job - could easily write a book about how dumb users can be. So it’s the easiest way just to tell people what devices to use, installing them with some MDM Software and keeping their rights as locked up as possible. I get nightmares only thinking about letting some of these guys use their personal devices in company’s network :D

    So you work from home, right? May I ask what you do for a living? Just curious

    Btw I asked my company for a MacBook Pro as work device. It’s absolutely silent, because it’s fan free and hooked up to my 49“ ultrawide monitor. But as I said in another comment I only use the device to connect remotely to other devices, so I don’t need much power locally.

    Good question. I work in IT and most things I do take place on server or more like datacenter hardware remotely. So my work device itself doesn’t need that much power. But I totally get that there are jobs that need powerful devices, as I remember from the days I worked onsite for many different customers. I am just curious

    I never understood why someone would want this. I would never want to use my personal pc for work. They give me a device, install everything for me and I just work with it while not having to deal with anything. I see that like a company’s car. You drive it and don’t have to deal with it in any other way. Isn’t that great?

    This is the way. I had a story in WhatsApp for 3 months every day with a picture that I am going to fully switch to Signal and Threema and won’t be available over WhatsApp anymore. As you said, people who want something from me will have to jump over their shadow and write me over one of those. And it absolutely worked, took some time, but it worked. Some people even have signal installed only to text me. The rest just calls or sends SMS. I am from Europe btw. and it worked even though WhatsApp is so strongly used over here.
