I truly don't understand the tendency of people to hate these kinds of tools. Honestly seems like an ego thing to me.
Also, when a tool increases your productivity but your salary and paid time off don't increase, it's a tool that only benefits the overlords and as such deserves to be hated.
Oh, so do you use a 13 year old PC because a newer one increases your productivity without increasing your salary and paid time off?
Personally... I do
I could request a new one, but why? This one works, it's just slow as all hell.
Gives excellent argument for requesting a new one:
I'm paid by the hour, I don't care
I mean, you're clearly using them because they still work, not because of a hatred for increasing productivity for the overlords. Your choice was based on reasonable logic, unlike the other guy.
I use a 13 year old PC because a newer one will be infected with Windows 11. (The company refuses to migrate to Linux because some of the software they use isn't compatible.)
