[lug] curiosity about WFH

[Matt James]

Seagate went to "If you're able, please work from home" with an added "just
take your laptop, please don't move out of your cube" type message.  VPN
will obviously be taxed, so they asked us to be courteous about bandwidth
usage and not stream netflix, etc. since it goes through the VPN.  Having
full up production line operations in our building, they aren't shutting
down completely, at least not yet....

Curious what others are doing as well...
