Nah, if you are racking computers, and they don't have built in lights out management, you open them up and connect remote triggers to the power button leads, allowing you to remotely start them if they get shut off. I'm sure lots of companies do have Mac farms for Mac and iOS development, but I doubt Apple give a crap one way or another about them.

Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for "eScorts: Uber for hookers".
Stockholm syndrome was made up by the media to discredit women who criticized them. It's not a real thing.
A møøse once bit my sister.
Another fun fact: On the backend, Teams uses SharePoint to store files, and Exchange to store message. The whole M365 stack is a house of cards built on ancient tech. It's a wonder it works at all.
And Google? I'm sure some companies use Google Apps for Business or whatevere they are calling it now, but the vast majority use Microsoft 365. Which does basically tie you to Windows, annoyingly. Especially if they are following industry and Microsoft best practices with MDM and Conditional Access.
I recommend giving Sidebery a shot. It allows you to use a vertical list of tabs instead, that follow a tree hierarchy, so you can have an entire group together and collapsable. Before it was Tree Style Tabs, but development of that seems to have slowed to a stop.
FYI, there are registry keys you can set to stop it from trying to upgrade. They are strong policy settings that Microsoft completely respects, for now at least.
My understanding is that 24H2 crashes if you try that. Microsoft is starting to build their OS around the TPM, so that work around is bound to stop being helpful. I decided a few years ago to stop fighting Microsoft and do what they are asking me to do, stop using Windows.
I moved to syncthing a long time ago. I run it on all my computers, my phone, and my NAS. Keeps everything in sync and local. My only worry is the lack of an offsite. If my home burned down, I'd be a little screwed. Otherwise, I've got lots of copies on lots of devices, as well as automatic backups.
You should learn a little geography. NC is a very wide state. Most of it hasn't been prone to hurricanes. The coast gets hit every few years with a decent one, but it's been over 30 years since one came anywhere close to that far inland with more than the power of a heavy storm.

It is important to remember that the legal power of unions was bought in blood. Both of the workers and the their bosses. I really hope we don't end up there again, but I do think that it can happen.
