The people who claim "real estate value!" have just latched onto the simplest reason they can which aligns with their worldview.

The reasons I suspect companies are forcing return to office are more:

  • shareholders don't like unused assets, so they tell the ceo to "use it or lose it"
  • the people who make the decision have the type of extroverted personality where they actually do work better in the office and they can't fathom people being different
  • the people who make the decision prefer to have the office full because it makes them feel more powerful. They can see the people they lord over.

I agree. I still eat shrimp and some fish. The fish bother me, but not enough to stop eating them, and the shrimp don't bother me cause they're basically underwater crickets.

For example killing an elephant is worse than killing a chicken. And everyone draws the line somewhere already (unless you're fine with eating endangered animals and even cannibalism). It's just where does your own morality draw the line at what level of creature it's ok to ask to die for your next meal?

I can. I VPN into my home and the connect to the NAS. The cameras are only allowed to talk to the NAS and any attempt for them to talk directly outside is blocked.

I use Enterprise drives in mine set up with Synology Hybrid Raid and a full copy of the NAS on another "NAS" (it's actually a USB attached storage from QNAP).

Also, set the video streams to h264 or h265 and the bandwidth is lower.

It's been fine so far.

Lol you confidently incorrect dumbass. Gravity is the problem of modern physics and you think you can boil it down to a simple force of attraction?

There are theories that it's an illusion and theories that it's caused by time itself. But you've gone and proved my point by basically saying, "SEE, APPLE FALL DOWN"

I hear you. I don't eat meat, and I haven't for several years. I still find it extremely tempting sometimes to eat some chicken wings.

The only reason I don't is because whenever I actually think, "maybe I should just have some," I get overwhelmed with flashes in my mind visualizing the deaths of the chickens and then I just... can't.

But if those flashes weren't there I definitely would've caved by now.

What does betrayal have to do with the morality of killing something?

It's either right or wrong to kill something if you don't have to for survival.

If you think killing dogs is wrong, then killing cows or pigs should also be wrong.

We should handle it the same way we treat invasive animals 🙂

For me, they could be trying to report on it, but the firewall blocks them from the internet.

Also for security cameras, connect them to something like a Synology NAS so you have the recordings locally and then configure a firewall to block the cameras from any internet access.

Viewing the cams remotely just means using a VPN to connect to your network and then connecting to the NAS.

It's possible to maintain privacy/control and still use modern tech.
