      But to combat this, a generous time limit would’ve made more sense imo. IT-hipsters are part of Starbucks’ image.

        Doesn’t starbucks use a timed system based on time of last purchase? I used to buy coffee just for wifi access back when I worked security near one.

    I feel like there’s an opportunity to shift business models a bit and convert some of the space to a LAN center if it’s that much of an issue. Move where the customers are instead of trying to move the customers.

    Just keep the desktop on your lap, so it is a laptop. GGEZ. And bring a ups, that way it’s not a power strip.

    I’ve been tempted to do this with a CRT in the past. I even sewed up backpack straps for hauling the monitor but the monitor broke in carry testing and the whole thing ended up not happening
