I want facts that i can take to my boss and prove.
Clearly they don't care what you can prove. Their goals are not to make money, keep you healthy, or be good citizens.
They are, in every example you've ever given, just evil people.
I understand this isn't directed at me. at least I hope its not.
However, We are able to work from home. It's not something that we were able to do before at this level because we never had soft phones until October within my offices.
Here we are still 6 feet apart (as suggested by local authority) and have no limitations on work. What would you say to the grocery stores in this matter, I wonder? or the Gas stations? are they too in the same boat of not caring?
What about the restaurants that are open still for Takeout? They can't work from home.How do you replace a part? I know you aren't in the hardware business, so this doesn't apply to you, but for someone who is, how would they do that? how is it different from me sitting at home, have something break I need to take on site to resolve and me being at the office ? I still have to go into the office to get the part if I don't have it with me.
Everyone in the office is wiping down everything they touch with Clorox Wipes, and washing our hands, staying at least 6 feet apart. The conversation came up because our Grocery department is thinking of working from home, We are all just trying to survive. All of the Major Places (minus Gas stations and Grocery Stores) are closed that people would congregate .
I think if everyone worked from home for at least 2-3 weeks this would go away, so I understand why we should

Scott's of the opinion that pretty much any job that doesn't directly associate with working in direct contact with another person, you can work from home.
This would include what you just said, and here's an example.
Plumbers - Around Omaha, most plumbers who work for a big shop are assigned a van, that van is stocked with the typical parts, so in most cases they don't need to visit home base except to replace the used parts, of course there are exceptions for special situations of items you don't carry - but that's rare enough to warrant making the special trip to the office to get the item.
So your office could do the same - have a set of standard parts that people like you have in their home at all times. When the need arise for you to go to a client - you go there from your home, not from the office. Corp could ship you replacements if time allows, or you could make an occasional trip to the office to get more stuff, like the plumber. -

What about the restaurants that are open still for Takeout? They can't work from home.Of course the grocery stores and restaurants need to have people arrive - they can't stock shelves from home, or cook food from home...
But you - you can troubleshot via the phone from home, you can make sales calls from home, and when, that hopefully rare case requires you to visit onsite, if you don't have stuff at home to bring, then you'll drive to the office, pick it up and go to the client - then return home.

You're kidding, right? This thing is with us for the rest of human time. Just like the Flu. Over time we'll likely get some type of herd immunity, so fewer people will get sick and die.
During the press conference yesterday - they were guessing that someone who recovers from Covid-19 is likely immune for 3 years, before the antibodies leave your body fully.

Does the spread of Flu stop?
It comes back every year. Covid will do the same. I'm not even sure it's possible to completely wipe it out, but to do so would likely require social distancing and everyone staying home for like 6 months.
they are reporting that Covid can live in your body for 30+ days... what I don't know is how long you remain infectious.

So in the millenial facts list....
One fact: Millennial are crippled by financial debt, primarily from student debts, more than other generations.
Second fact: A vastly higher percentage of millennial went to university compared to other generations.
Um, yeah, duh. Why don't they even mention these two facts together - when people who have no business going to college spend time and money on college instead of working, they go into debt and it generally cripples them. The difference is that millennials are unique in believing that college was their right and responsibility and didn't see it in the context of it helping them get jobs.

I've been running Kodi using Emby as a backend. It's seamless, and displays through the Kodi frontend. And it transcodes on the fly. I've played a 4K movie transcoded to my laptop over WiFI without blocking or skipping once.

That has nothing to do with Kodi or Emby and everything with the CPU available to whatever is running your media server to do the re-encoding on the fly.

If one has a good graphics card, is it better to use that for re-encoding when using Kodi, Emby or Plex?

I did not know I can use mstsc as a remote viewer (shadow) and control a computer.

Since I run in a VM in a computer without any graphics functionality beyond basic, I have no idea.

First time setting up a domain (personal domain) for emails. I'm using Zoho Mail.
I don't like ZoHo's interface. I've been debating what to do with a few personal domains I have.
Neither do I, but $12 / year for my eddiejennings.net E-mail and have some clear separation from personal and business (O365 business essentials) is a great deal.

How did you get a picture of my chair?

@scottalanmiller lol. I'm constantly vacuuming because the chair keeps shedding.
