Yep.. the "best" candidate is not the same as being the most "talented." Maybe they're a bad fit because they're an asshole, or because they'd want a team structure that's incompatible with the current one.
It all adds to the complexity and subjectivity recruitment inheritly has.
Personally, I don't have the energy to go to such lengths. My "good enough" has been using AdGaud Home as a network-wide DNS blocker and connect my smart TV to it. It's been great so far.
Plus, I get the bonus of seeing how much gets blocked.
Look, everyone agrees the best candidate should be the one that's hired.
Unfortunately, there's no objective truth in how to rank candidates - minus anything obvious. Humans make the choices and humans are prone to bias. Consciously or not, people are going to favor candidates that meet the expected stereotypes for said positions.
There are plenty of studies out there documenting it. For example, resume response rates can vary drastically based solely on the name of the applicant. (The same resume sent to various companies with changes to the applicant's name. Masculine names, feminine names, "white" names, "black" names, etc).
It does bother me if people are hired because of the colour of their skin or because of their gender and not because they were the best candidate.
Statements like these are easy to cling onto and rally a false narrative. They're something ""everyone"" should agree on at a first glance. They miss the underlying issues and the driving force behind various movements.
Not disagreeing, but at some point this won't be enough. Assuming companies aren't already, "offline" devices will get shipped with the ability to utilize unsecured networks and/or other devices. Better hope any neighbors are privacy conscious too.*

This might depend on the version the OS is. I have an LG that's been great for years, then it got a ""fresh new look"" that featured a giant banner for "recommendations."
I had auto-updates off, too. Thankfully, they still had an option to revert to the previous menu - but who knows how long that'd stay an option? It pissed me off enough to finally setup AdGaurd Home on my home server.
Fun Fact: It's increased my phone's battery life by ~48 hours (excluding the rare occasion where its being actively used all day).
I'm on EndeavorOS, but I basically use Arch's wiki for any troubleshooting/guidance. I wanted Arch with an easy installation and I got just that.
No huge issues gaming-wise, but you do need to be comfortable referencing Arch wiki as needed regardless of your installation. My installation defaulted to the on-biard graphics processor instead of the gpu, so I had to install the proper stuff manually.

I mean.. that's a pretty weird take. Most games have some sort of RNG - whether it be in the background or visibility listed probabilities. That doesn't mean they're promoting gambling.
The outrage over the 18+ rating was partially over other games with actual gambling (monetized loot boxes) are somehow PG / PG-13.
Meanwhile, this game with no in-game purchases and is only thematically about "Poker" is 18+ because it's "promoting gambling".. If the game had an artwork swap they'd see it as a typical deck building rougelite and rate it the same as Slay the Spire.
This typically works, but one time the AI said "Sorry, we're unable to help you. Good bye" and hung up the phone.
Mind you, this was after 10 minutes of going in nonsensical loops of their options... I have never felt so baffled and enraged at the same time.
Oh god, yes this too. All the sponsored location spam drives me crazy. I love when I zoom in to a location and it doesn't mark ANY of the shops besides STARBUCKS^tm^
It has definitely been getting worse over years, but I specifically meant the last couple of weeks. I could still find what I needed between all the garbage.. now I can't even find it after adjusting the search multiple times.
If you can't do better, then at least add some cute cat pictures in it. At least then I'll feel a crumb of joy with every wasted effort!
What is it you think the "not agreeing" people want?
