Thank you! We pride ourselves on being more in touch. We have employees in India and Palestine and other places in the world, and some of us use chromebooks as our primary device.

As someone who saw friends struggle to conjure up enough money to buy laptops during the pandemic (with looming socio-economic uncertainty no less), this is simply priceless; especially since it is pretty common for Bay Area companies to be insulated away from the realities of a world afar where even "cheap" Scaleway / DO compute is deemed expensive. Ironically, it is indeed this world afar that is in dire need of realising benefits (especially in terms of lower cost) that only technology can deliver. Thank you very much!
