All my work computers are provided by the companies I work for and per their rules I can only take and store notes using their approved software and on their servers which basically means I work on a locked down Microsoft ecosystem. Access to third party productivity software is simply not possible outside of certain role specific specialist software.

I would guess literally millions of employees have a similar setup so it’s not that we are tech illiterate per say, but more accurately in the corporate world this option doesn’t exist so there is no point trying.

Outside work my productivity tools consist of a Moleskine notebook with tasteful check paper.

You don’t have to pay national insurance until your yearly income reaches a certain level but after that it’s a flat rate.

I know how to use windows and the setting you mention above is reset on startup (edit, probably because it’s a work computer). It also doesn’t solve the actual problem. Here’s a better description: https://superuser.com/questions/1766815/is-there-a-way-to-make-a-folder-open-in-a-new-tab-instead-a-new-window-in-window

And the solution is… It is not natively possible to make tabbed explorer work as it should.

There’s no way to automatically open new folders in a tab. You can right click but in windows 11 it’s hidden in the more options menu by default. You can overcome some of this with regedit but I only use windows for work and naturally I’m locked out of that.

Can’t they just make tabbed file explorer work properly instead?

Why is it limited to only 100kph? I demand higher speed automobile defecation.

I think Fair phone with eos is the “least evil” option but you won’t be able to use most banking apps or contactless payment.

The $700 you give Google for a pixel is only going to erode your privacy further and personally I wouldn’t trust any device made by them, regardless of the OS.

Edit to say you are basically just rewarding their behaviour.
