I mean you can already do normal ethernet over coax if it's all you have in your building, thanks to MoCa.

I'm more productive in the office in my current job to be fair

In my old job, no.

Depends on your commute/type of work/hours, really.

The problem is around DNS/IP whitelisting

I worked for a large bank and we eventually gave up on it for customer emails because trying to keep your domain/IP ranges in the correct lists so that you didn't end up in spam folders was so operationally expensive

probably

intel used to sell cheap core solos back in the core duo days, which were just duos where one of the cores was faulty so they disabled it.

Same with the F model (no iGPU) chips today. People have done teardowns and found that more often than not its there on the die, just disabled because its faulty.

If it works out as say £150/seat/month to be in the office vs say £600/year for a reliable broadband connection, contributions toward power/heat, and providing a chair/desk/monitor setup, many won't consider the 2/3 cost saving worthwhile.

Because lots of things are written in it, it has good library/tool support, is pretty performant, lots of developers know it, and it's good/flexible enough for most tasks.

It does. Here in the UK at least, it's usually a lot cheaper to take cards than to pay transport (this is a real pain) and deposit fees (the latter is 2% on top of a fixed monthly fee, for my business account) so its usually only tax dodgers that go cash only

I think in the US merchant fees for card transactions are much higher though so may be a different ball game over there.

I bet when you said a 12 litre jug and a 6 litre jug it wrongly assumed that you required it to actually make use of both the jugs in some way (not merely that they were available for possible use), leading to the pointless step.
