Windows went a step further on my machine. I thought it had just screwed up my bootloader, but when I went to restore it my Linux partition was completely gone. Windows Update had deleted the partition.
Malware is right.

Hey, somebody’s gotta pay for the highest corporate profits in 70 years.
Lordy, I ain’t never heard about one of them before. You’re a genius!
Now look around your office and see how many people are using them. There’s not a single person in my sales office, whether sales or engineering that bothers with a dongle because we actually have a well designed, fast wifi network. It’s called “reliability” and you and your company should look that up.
From the responses here it sounds like many companies need to do the same.
Assumptions, assumptions… My company is a communications company and actually produces networking equipment. Almost no one uses Ethernet because we have the knowledge and experience to implement reliable wifi. Perhaps your company should hire us since they’ve done such a bad job with their own implementation.
Sorry to hear your company doesn’t care about productivity.
My company produces networking equipment and actually knows how to implement reliable wireless and wired networks. If your company’s wifi network is unstable perhaps hiring a competent network design and implementation company would have been more cost effective than throwing more equipment at the problem.
Don’t most of (maybe all) dell and lenovo laptops come with ethernet ports by default ?
Nope. Ethernet ports are gone.
And in the offices I worked in nobody had a docking station. They aren’t everywhere.
Lol! One Ethernet cable in a conference room? What if someone else is using it? Next you’ll proudly state that you carry an Ethernet switch everywhere you go. But, you be you.
Not my last job with a Fortune 100 company. Nearly all of us used wifi all the time. Our engineering and software development groups did use desktop computers with Gig E though.
My last job was with a Fortune 100 technical company in a sales position. No one used a docking station and no one bothered with an Ethernet cable. Neither did any of the customers we dealt with. People with desktop computers were wired up but most everyone else used wifi all the time.
Moan and groan all you like, it doesn’t change the fact that wireless is almost always an option and wired is almost never an option.
Even desktop PCs come with wifi adapters. Finding a laptop with an Ethernet port is damn near impossible.
Long time since you bought a laptop, or even looked at them? Even most Dell and Thinkpad mobile workstations no longer include an Ethernet port.
IMO increasing hate crimes is a feature not a bug. Plenty of MAGA would be thrilled if LGBTQ was a sign on one of Trump’s concentration camps.
You do know that laptops no longer even come with those Ethernet ports, right?
It’s absolutely making do. Having to plug an Ethernet cable in every time you take your laptop to someone else’s office, break room or conference room simply doesn’t work. Offices aren’t designed for it.
Just returned 2 Eufy cameras because the company claims ownership of my video streams and won’t allow me access to those streams. Their website conveniently hides the fact that almost all of their cameras are locked to their base station or their cloud, and makes it look like the streams are readily accessible. Ultimately that means Eufy can pull the plug at any time.
Many people got wise to the printer ink racket, they’ll eventually figure out these cloud services are to be avoided too.
Oh look, another pathological liar and malignant narcissist in a leadership position at the GQP. They should start a choir.
Avoiding a company because of they are attempting to avoid unionization is a double-edged sword. It costs the company business and, in turn, costs the very people trying to unionize their jobs. I’ve made a choice to keep going to TJ’s for the time being.
We shop at Aldi and TJ’s regularly. The grocery stores in my area charge literally double for many of the same items. Considering the grocery stores probably pay lower wholesale prices than either Aldi or TJ’s it yet another example of the highest corporate profits in 70 years.
Another tip: On Android phones, Tasker can be used to automatically activate Wireguard tunnels to your own or a commercial VPN host. Taskernet.com has one project that activates WG when off specific wifi networks, and another that I wrote that allows you to activate a tunnel on demand only when you open specific apps. Great if you want to access a home server occasionally (without detectable open router ports) or want an extra layer of security when running a financial app.
