they are taxed differently. you would not get the upper hand trying to live primarily in something classified in a secondary/fun/vacation home.

there's also the matter of your person registry information being wrong all the time (since it has to be tied to something zoned as a primary residence). would be death by a thousand cuts since so many services and programs refer to this registry to automate things.

You might like the VW e-up!/Skoda Citigo-e. Bare bones electric cars -- even the battery meter is an analog needle! Just has a plastic mount for your smartphone above the center console and a USB port. No giant touchscreens! Real knobs!
Re:Cisco Webex launches real-time translation on Thursday March 11, 2021 @03:50PM (#26428861)
Well Webex Meetings is discontinued now dunno where you’ve been.

Regarding dogfooding: I’d say an equally large problem is that many Cisco employees (ESPECIALLY in Collaboration units) are issued hardware endpoints for office or home use. So we spend unnaturally few minutes in-call using actual, normal-people Webex desktop clients and instead join meetings using DX80s, Desk Pros and other desk units.
