Metal frames on fine electronics were a terrible idea. But not my problem in this case, company hardware.

I just don't understand how the static discharge travels from the sock/chair all the way to the monitor
Owen Edwards
me neither. As a precaution, I've switched my DAC to use only an optical connection, no more USB

What the fuck? I have never heard about a company giving out macbooks to employees as work computers.

user it's very common. My friend who's an app developer has a macbook and develops on it. It's more common outside of tech companies though, you think all those fancy sales people want to sit on IBM thinkpads or flashy macbooks?

I remember when IBM thinkpads were the flashy thing all the worthwhile businessmen had. Are macbooks really the modern equivalent of that?
Adrian Turner
i just got the new macbook pro from my company. where tf do you work user
Asher White
Depends on your target demographic, but most non-tech people prefer macbooks. They are a luxury item and seen with prestige by a lot of people, even if they are dogshit compared to equally priced competitors. So you show off your company using macbooks to display prestige, and also generally increases worker satisfaction because they get shiny expensive toys
