I really enjoyed Birth of the Federation which was a 4X game with rudimentary fleet combat. It wasn’t a perfect game but it was fun and had that whole TNG computer feel going on with the UI graphics and sounds.
I have heard you should make sure your financial advisor is a fiduciary. My understanding is they are legally required to advise you on things that are in your best interests.
Been hosting my own email in my home with Exchange Server for almost 2 decades. I don’t recommend it unless you have experience and a MSDN account though.
Email used to be easy, but with all the anti spam and trust setup required these days it’s a bit more difficult for the inexperienced. You’re going to need to know DNS, SMTP, certificates, and have a plan for message hygiene (anti spam / anti malware).
That said, if you want to do it and can suffer some issues while you’re learning, go for it. That’s how you get experience. :)
Depends on the company. My shitty company is doing forced RTO, in a horrible way, but about the only thing they are doing right is giving standard severance packages for anyone who doesn’t want to comply.
They did that to me. I’m in IT in a ‘critical’ (read - too expensive to rehire for) role for a large company doing forced RTO. I’m the only one on the team in my state, and not near any remaining offices, because they closed my building during COVID. My boss knew I was going to walk if they tried to force me to move, so they carved out an exception for me and I’m still WFH full time while the rest of my team has to go to the office 2 days a week minimum. The whole thing is toxic and destructive to morale. I’m trying to finagle a way to get the severance package because I want out of here before everything finishes circling the drain.
