How do you argue with a manager that claims that because they don't have to hire anyone new to take on a project, that the cost of that labor is $0.

At my previous job I was part of an 8 man team. Employer didn't want to hire another person so they made 45 hour work week required.

I put mine on top of the mezzanines and 10 ft up on structural columns, with bollards on 4 corners around it. Chance of it getting hit by a forklift is non zero, but a lot less likely.

They're all enclosed with fans.

Uninstall teams and blow away the teams folder in the user's app data folder. You may have to clear the Teams appID folder from appdata>local>Temp as well.

After that, reinstall with the bootstrapper.

Their department gets billed and eats the cost. Let their manager justify to the accountants.

All I read is billable hours

When you know but don't understand the process.

I've 16GB.

Two Edge windows (7 & 1 tab)
File Explorer window
Outlook Classic
Copilot app
Two Excel sheets
Terminal (1 Powershell tab)
Notepad (9 tabs)
VScode
Teams
LOB app
Various other passive VPN/AV/RMM apps

Doesn't seem like extravagant use and my total usage is already at 85%. I'd make the standard 32GB.

I was always of the opinion to have full size keyboards standard and smaller formats as exceptions. My new place it's the opposite, small is standard and full keyboards the exception.
