It depends. On all our old and new tram models the upper part of the window can be cracked open. Not fully, just enough for the breeze and fresh air to get in. Buses have fixed windows that can't be opened. Trains — at least in my home country — vary: old ones you can usually slide the entire window open in the hallway(?), but the cabins, IIRC, have the same mechanism like the trams; new ones have fixed windows, IIRC, but they are also air-conditioned, so it's not a problem.

So, that might be due to your company cheaping out by not having the filters cleaned. Had that problem and as soon as the filters were cleaned, the problem stopped. But yeah, if it's 21 outside, that's a bit mad to keep at 16.

I've been in both — kind of, sort of. At least if it's too cold, you can bundle up (despite how stupid that is). But when one of your coworkers doesn't want it on, and you're then cooking to death... yeah, that's not fun. Same with idiots in public transit who don't let you crack the window open to let air in, because "it's cold/blowing at my head!!". Bitch, go sit somewhere else then or take a taxi.

They were just lucky entrepreneurs.

Who also happened to have nothing against exploiting other people. You don't get that rich unless exploitation is your business model. Or if you're a nepo baby (something something small loan of a million dollars something something).

Whatever the reader is called now. It's a known "feature". They use Windows Installer patch system to update the application, but for some reason if it fails to update, it just re-downloads the patch without removing the failed ones. Or at least that's my understanding. Allegedly (according to Adobe at least) it's a rare bug, but I've had over a dozen machines from end users where this caused C partition to run full and slow down/freeze/crash the system. And I'm being serious when I say some machines regained over 30GB of space after uninstalling the reader.

Lately whenever someone complains their C partition is full, it's always unmistakably Adobe's fault. Their shitty way of updating piles up crap in the Windows Installer folder. Uninstalling Adobe and cleaning up its garbage, no joke, frees up anywhere from 20 to 40 gigabytes of storage. Insane.
