My wife gave me a Chrome Cast for my last birthday. Because SHE wanted it. Since we have television via broadband with built in Play functionality, I've never seen the need for one (MAYBE to play Youtube videos, but normally you do that on you cell phone, right?).
And guess how many times we've used it... Apart from my test when I installed it... None! Just like I knew it would be!

The positive side is that then you don't have to buy her one. (You can rather buy here something that you wish you had in the house.)

Count yourself lucky then that it wasn't - Her: up all night watching stuff, You: alone in a large cold bed.
Actually had a friend buy one of those China "watch TV from around the world" android boxes (needs internet). They even were kind enough to set it up for us. About 10 minutes after they left I pulled it out and tossed it in the store room.
Few days later the wife asked where it went, my reply: we never watch TV anyway. (never been asked again.)
- Real reasons for removing it:
1. Don't watch broadcast TV - That is actually True
2. Only channels it has are all weird non western countries
3. Really didn't want a China mystery box attached to our home internet (nor anywhere where I have any of my own machines)

Actually kinda like mine. It can run multiple cooking timers simultaneously and play music, stuff like that.
You just have to name the timers.
"Ok Google, start a timer named Ham for 2 hours."
"Ok Google, start at timer named pizza for 20 minutes."
Just wish I could change the recognition phrase from "Ok Google" to "Computer"

Cooking timers are nice.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned, or I lack imagination

Just stumbled across this[^].
I guess it aggregates examples in open source repos for PHP, C#, Java, Go, C++, and Python, based on "top rated", which I guess means starts.
For example, I decided to search for something somewhat arcane, AssemblyResolve and got 4 examples[^]
References the project and filename where the code comes from.
CodeProject should do something like this! (I'll post it on the suggestion board.)

My laptop goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity and this is called "energy efficiency" but when I do it, apparently, it is "laziness".

You are a lucky man. My laptop always wake me up if I like to go to sleep

But how can we explain that to our boss? Who is usually in that mentioned mode?

It is thought that our brains do a clean up and defrag when in a sleeping state.
Why can't my computer do the same?! And no, not just a memory dump. However I get the feeling that a bunch of people use this feature as the next day they seem so carefree and forgotten all the woes of the previous day.

At my previous job, if I had nothing to do, and management knew it because I'd put out repeated "I need something to do" emails, I still had to sit in my cubicle warming my chair, looking "active."

Yeah - I just write code and articles for some code project website thing.
Keeps me looking busy.

Gone are the days when you could just walk around with a clipboard and pen, and everyone would think you're busy.
Nowadays, you need a tablet and a Star Trek uniform.

That's like the day after I was informed about being laid off.
I was playing solitaire when my boss walked in. I asked are you going to let me go? No questions asked.
