Add to that doing field work with slow and unreliable internet, and it literally takes 30 seconds to open the context menu in explorer. Gotta wait for corporate.exe to time out first.
At least opening the start menu doesn’t literally take 30 seconds anymore, after a regedit change to stop it from searching online first.
And then the IT department announced that they are finally replacing our obscure, archaic “VPN solution”. I asked, “you are building the new solution on top off WireGuard, right? 😊”
IT: … … 😊
Me: … … 🥲
They ended up BUYING ANOTHER “VPN SOLUTION” INSTEAD 😭
No kidding. In our case, their hands are even more tied, since we are required by law to outsource it to the cheapest possible provider. I’m just disappointed that my country and agency are so poorly informed on how much cheaper and self reliant using open source solutions such as WireGuard and Linux would be.

to be fair, those stupid expensive “solutions” are always the bosses’ idea.

That’s why they pay them the big bucks.
yeah. those usually market themselves to clueless management instead of real it people.
we don’t have the decision power nor the gullibility for that shady garbage.
