A friend worked there for years, she said different offices would either be far too hot or else freezing on the same day. There was never a comfortable room.
If the interior offices were kept clean and tidy, I can see how it could be kind of interesting in a retro-futuristic way. But given that these are government offices, they're often full of stacked cardboard boxes of files and other mess that ruins the look. At least the building doesn't have drop ceilings (at least as far as I recall.)
I can't install it because I have an older (2020) Intel mac and it requires an M1 or later chip. Is that an accident or is there a real dependency on Apple CPUs?
I saw it in a Home Depot in the US once. It was father's day and there was a sign that read, "Dad's Love Tools". Of course they meant to say, "Dads Love Tools".
I thought it was particularly funny and embarrassing for the store, but I couldn't get the clerk at the store to understand what was wrong.

Not surprising. Tons of Americans are borderline illiterate. It's one of many things that makes it annoying to live here, especially as the amount of communication done in text increases with more advents in technology.
I recall reading somewhere that the standard reading level for the states is about sixth grade, and if anything that comes across to me as slightly generous. Honestly this is one of my few hopes with the proliferation of LLM: that it will make reading communications from other workers less utterly painful.
Even among the highly educated, it's shocking how resistant some of them are to written communication.
I used to wonder if there was something wrong with my email, then I considered maybe they were likely busy, indifferent, or lazy, and now I wonder if they are just barely functionally literate so that drafting a response induces a significant mental burden.
I really enjoy the Clever dripper too. My big revelation (from a James Hoffman youtube video) was that putting the water in first, made the whole process so much faster and maybe even tastier.
I’m pretty sure my AirPods Pro have only about two hours battery life, but that’s probably because they’re at least three years old by now. I still love them though and would buy them again in a second if need be. I also don’t use them for music, just meetings, podcasts and audiobooks.
I assume you have the 1st gen one — I can only recommend the 2nd gen pro, I didn’t even originally want it, just got a good deal if I buy both this and an ipad, but I use the airpod each and every day for multiple hours, and I only have to think about charging the case after several weeks. The noise cancellation on the other hand is otherworldly.
