AEC companies.
Our GIS clients run WS as a Deskstop OS with ESRIs ArcGIS Pro. Incredibly common.
And once you have that - add in Active directory, DFS and random Windows Servers for running archaic proprietary licensing services.
I'm so sorry for being juvenile but "high cluck frequencies" may be my favorite typo of all time.
Ive has finally made something so thin - you can't even see it!

This was a publicly traded SaaS company.
After acquisition - we were handed down the order to migrate to AWS.
This was after (in the mess of the merger) the colo contracts were basically ignored and not renewed. Once someone within the company realized the issue, it was the 11th hour.
After many, many attempts to discuss our (Operations team) concerns, we abandoned our protests. It was clear the new CTO wouldn't cave and sign the contract.
Some superficial testing was conducted and the order came down to move...NOW.
We began moving hundreds (maybe thousands) of very resource hungry DB servers first (there was no way to use something like RDS without major app/config changes).
Once the AWS bill came in, the CFO blew their lid and within 90 days we were migrating BACK to our DCs (and the millions of dollars of hardware we left idling).
I feel like Boeing needs a "Pat Gelsinger returns to Intel" type of choice here.
Granted the jury is still out on Intel (IMO) but it was certainly a signal of a culture shift.
Anecdotal experience - Good friend of mine who struggles with weight was taking Ozempic for about two months.
He described nausea quite often when I saw him but the results were pretty astounding.
He then hit a wall where gastroparesis would happen quite often and I happened to be at his house when one of these bouts got very severe. He went from feeling bad, to hunched over in pain and started projectile vomiting in the span of 30 minutes. He said it was clearly the meal he had eaten several days ago...it was awful.
I believe this happened to him several more times - and AFAIK he stopped taking it, and promptly regained some weight back.
MSFT provides a method to repackage .EXE into a deployable package (named: Intunewin).

For Windows deployments - Microsoft Intune provides the ability to monitor any application and its version. Updating is automatic provided its installed correctly and using detection rules. The responsible party updates the MSI installation files and the local management service will perform the update.
Screenconnect and Splashtop come to mind. Yes - both have their flaws, but are much more palatable then TV.
Also getting this in FF v102.0.1 running on Win10.
Using an anecdotal source - My Wife (ICU RN) this is sounds right.
Outside of the existing issues with Bedside nursing (long days, physically demanding) - the primary issue is staffing. Pre-pandemic the ratios were already bad but now many are leaving for travel contracts which carry significantly better wages. It quickly becomes a loop where employees leave for Travel Contracts, and then can only be backfilled with Travel Contracts. The remaining FT staff nurses are left making much less money, and have to assist "training" with the outside Travel nurses. And while this is nothing against them - The travel RNs also often have a different "vibe" as they are much less focused on long term improvement or problem solving within the Unit.
Also ICU/PCU/ER nursing throughout the pandemic was a terribly depressing place to be. Leaving many of my Wifes colleagues (including herself) with what is essentially PTSD with little or no support from the Hospital System.
Because that growth is used as a substitute for profit (or net income or EBITDA - take your pick). For a public company having one or the other (or rarely, both) keeps the ticker price moving in the right direction.
You can keep swallowing whatever garbage your propaganda ministry is selling you. The rest of the world knows the truth.
Was in the same predicament - aging Wifi APs with no desire for a Cloud Managed "Prosumer" solution.
Ended up going with a handful of Ruckus r610 used off of Ebay. When re-flashed with the "unleashed" firmware, configures one to act as a local controller for the rest. I've been very happy with it so far.
As I look around at a pile of RFPs with companies running some core functionality on Windows Server 2003, RHEL 5, MYSQL 4 etc....I'll take that bet.
I advise/consult/build technology for a wide range of industries. (From AEC Firms to Major league sports teams) From my perch, the meaningful proliferation of blockchain in those industries has been...zero. And that's not to say it hasn't been on the tip of many of their CTO's tongues.
Your giant list of of terminology isn't making much of an impact on me. In fact many of those sounds terrible.
So giving your post the benefit of the doubt, when can I expect to be disrupted out of a job by even a single item on your list?
As we grow, our goal remains the same: empower developers and businesses to ship better products faster by eliminating DevOps. We’re working to end the tyranny of complexity forced on developers by cloud providers who’d rather sell certifications than focus on developer productivity.
Just to add some other insight here...
My Wife, a ICU RN+CCRN spent most of her 2020 on the COVID floor. It was pretty brutal for her.
She has coworkers, of equal status, who experienced pandemic alongside her first hand - who were extremely hesitant to get the vaccine. This includes several months after the initial rollout to staff.
Here in upper US East Coast - most of the older Japanese Trucks that are perfect as a cheap hauler are piles of rust. Really unfortunate.
As someone with a past life on the Ops/Sysadmin side of the house, this is a enterprise nightmare.
Enterprise may not be the targeted market at this point, but its a cash cow that would be hard to chase (Especially given M1 hurts the consumer side). A number of VDI/Terminal protocols solved this problem a long time ago.
