Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people? - eviltoast

I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.

In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.

Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

    …I feel like bringing personal machines to work in order to do work is causing chaos with IT and network security

      BYOD has been a huge shift in corporate IT over the last 10-15 years; mostly because if people bring their own gear, you don’t have to lease it.

      How do you think Citrix is still in business?

      They could be accessing virtual workspaces using a company VPN client. Or perhaps logging into a Citrix Receiver Workspace. Could probably access a VDI environment as well. 2FA with a work cell etc

      Lots of ways for personal devices to be used in the work setting. Would I recommend it or do it myself? Nah. But it can be done.
