I'm sure some folks would want to block me.   And, I most certainly would love to block a few folks.
Wrong forum. Look away folks. Look away.

That would be awesome, it could go in bug&sugs, though I don't think the hamsters are so inclined.

Opps. My bad. I looked for that a bit too quickly while getting ready for work and didn’t see the link. I’ll repost there.

My employer switched from a local domain server to one based in Azure. This essentially made my machine new to me. I hand to find/re-install all my programs. Worse than all of that is the insane number of 2FA requests required to use my machine. And it seems like where we used to have username/password, companies are creating their own stuff. Slack assumes your email is secure and only requires a username now, then emails you a temp password. BitBucket was authenticated so long on my machine, I didn't realized I had 2FA, but not text based. I had to dig through my phone to find an app I've used about twice to find the code before I could view source code. Windows thinks the Hello 6 digit pin is more secure than my password.
I think I'm done ranting now. But seriously, just bring back good old fashioned passwords.

passive aggressive : enter a wrong password a couple of times until your machine locks up and wait a few hours until IT deigns resetting it. 
Hopefully, it's a one shot annoyance, once everything is setup, it should not be a big issue.
We had a few people with no cell phones for 2FA.. that pissed IT.

To make it worse, now you're expected to use your personal phone for work, for that reason. Used to be keeping things separate was the way to go.

My personal phone has all kind of issues.
First, when asked to use it for work I whip out my trusty Nokia Lumia: what does it mean there is no app for that? Fix it!
Second, my Samsung phone has a custom ROM (not) with all kind of stability issues (not) and loses phone calls, SMS, messages, reboots randomly, sometimes freezes completely. Sorry I didn't receive any call, what do you mean I didn't answer?
Same goes for my personal PC. It never, ever works and often won't even boot.

Yeah, my last boss got hold of my mobile number because we had to meet up under promises that he'd forget it immediately afterwards.
Being the trusting sort I am, I immediately changed the number. A month later he was badgering me for the new number as it "didn't work when he tried it on Sunday".

Green * is a scam. It's just a way to move funds and sell trends, just like vegan products and homeopathy / crystallotherapy / younameit.
Don't get me wrong, moving away from fossil fuels and getting sustainable energy is necessary in this power hungry society (though I still have to understand why a US house needs more thn 3 times the power available to an Italian house, considering we do use the same appliances). But the trend of geen everything sold on partial data and preconception, that is a scam full stop.

Yeah - my electricity supplier swears blind that all my power comes from renewable, green sources.
Doesn't stop the price doubling every time the gas market burps though ...

If we were in the USA, I'd almost be inclined to think their idea of "green energy" was "burning money".

It would probably be cheaper to heat the house that way.

In Italian money laundering is called money recycling. I'd say they are very much green in that regard

What does the USA have to do with this?
It IS the UK and they are figuratively "burning money" while lying to you. Face it, the UK energy weasels are just as corrupt and self-serving as all the worlds energy weasels. You're not special.

The other night we had -21C, try to top this in Italy (apart from the Alps). Summers down south are hot. Also, our houses are bigger, and the average household is more populated - 3 kids are quite common. Let's not forget a lot of refrigerators - we are big. Need food

Guess where I live? I had easily -28, we use either gas or in rural areas pellet or wood. Never had any issue.

Yeah, but this is not typical for Italy, is it? The other thing I forgot to mention - most Americans live in houses, while Italians in apartment buildings. And the buildings are more energy efficient with smaller rooms, lower ceiling and the new ones are well insulated.

As I said below, 3 kW is also for hoises of 3600 square feet. A residential house has 3 kW, 6 if you ask for the EV charging station but 3 of those can ONLY be used by the charging station.
And going to -20 is common for at least a third of the nation.

Got it. More than third of the Italians live in Siberia like conditions, in three store houses and only use two microwaves worth of electricity. Cool.
BTW, just checked - the average annual electricity consumption per capita is twice more in US than Italy, not three times. And Italy has less consumption than the average in EU (again, mild climate).
