Coming from a different country I don't really know why remote is not the default option. Listening to a professor speaking to himself from a distance of 10 meters is an awful experience compared to a video recording…
I'm not sure what you mean by the universal availability of the email. It has the same deploy/configure/security issues any other tool has. It's even worse, because you can send email to "outsiders" unless certain rules…
What company I work for did: start a desktop app on a VPS and make it accessible over a web based remote desktop. The app was supposed to run 24/7, so it was additional plus for the customer, because now they could have…
What is considered "working hours" if you have flex time? This sounds utterly ridiculous. It's not like people have Alexa hooked up to company email screaming and flashing their lights at night when they receive a new…
I kind of feel you, but those people are new to this (employers and employees). They have no idea what they are doing, they are scared and they want someone to resolve this issue for them. Any experienced person just…
Lol. Less transport = less wear on the extra expensive roads. Less pollution, less crowd, less money for oil industry. If anything, people should be blessed and get tax returns for WFH.

There seem to be an option in Windows that let you specify you are on a metered connection. Probably one could check if the "saveData" option is selected to disable p2p.
LTE routers with GB limits. You are connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. If I've found out some website is using my upload bandwidth without my consent I would just quit using it. It's a dick move to utilize user's…
It somehow works with dedicated USB dongles that are size of a penny. Look at Jabra Evolve 65T. From my perspective as a customer it's an issue with Bluetooth standard, not hardware. The latency problems are somehow…
Did your in-person meetings ever had this many participants? If this many people needs to be involved, then I'll argue a meeting is a nonsense anyway. It would be extremely hard even in-person.
You are trying to replace in-person meetings without using cameras? It scales pretty well to a reasonable amount of people. How many people do you need in a meeting? If you have meetings with more than 12 people, then…

You can also use the hand you are born with. It will be even more visible. It didn't feel that awkward in school, so we can use it now too.
Just raise your hand on the web cam. Move it closer to make it visible.

Where do you want to go? Living in a city center right now. It's hard for me to find a thing I DON'T have in a radius of 4km, which is a reasonable walking distance.
Who says you can't take a walk or ride a train just for the fun of it while you WFH? It will be as pointels as before or maybe more fun, who knows.
Or if you still want to pay, then there's MacOS. Never got an unwanted update.
