The work laptop just isn't turning on now back in the office. It seems to be on but no video signal anywhere. Can I go home and work from my computer there?
Don't you love it when office equipment just fails in the office.
My work laptop takes forever to connect to work wi-fi. Works great when plugged into the hub, but struggles with wi-fi in meeting rooms
Such convenience.
I had that today as well when doing an interview on the sneaky sneak. Every time I opened zoom my laptop disconnected from the VPN and I lost internet. I got in eventually though
You can have the day off, it's our fault not yours 👍
Also, I always thought it was incredibly rude of my work laptop to say my chargers at home aren't powerful enough. I have two 100w GAN 5 chargers and it complains every time I plug them in.
I looked at a charger at work today, 165w! These laptops barely last an hour on a teams call unplugged. Why do they need so much power and areso inefficient?
