a baby duck

For me it was strictly during onboarding for verifying I-9 documents. I assume it’s just to ensure any documents you present aren’t getting software blurred.

Not a racism thing. Happened to me at my last two companies (white guy, both remote jobs).

I’m very interested in this. Any suggestions as far as specific models to look at, or where to source one without needing a fancy business vendor connection? Maybe a trustworthy review site to compare some options?

Haven’t seen anyone mention Decentraleyes yet. Serves CDN assets locally to avoid CDNs as a vector for tracking or fingerprinting.

Thanks for the list, found a couple I didn’t know of that look helpful! Couple more suggestions:

• WizTree is another good disk usage tool, as an alternative to Filelight. I think it’s visually closer to windirstat, but so much faster I can’t honestly remember.
• EarTrumpet is a better volume control app for the systray. I hide the default sound icon and set this to always show.
• ExplorerPatcher lets you revert some annoying Windows 11 behaviors, like disallowing vertical taskbars

Might be time to try a different client then. No issues zooming on Connect, for what it’s worth.

I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it’s usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.

Steam just had a free weekend so I’ve been playing it. I like it a lot and I do think it’s worth playing, but it’s definitely a clunky console port, the added latency of forced multiplayer doesn’t do it any favors, and the amount of QoL locked behind microtransactions or a $13/month subscription just feels bad.
