Besides all the other stuff mentioned, you can invite them to stuff occasionally and prepay everything. Make it a family event if you want to.

Plenty of family subscription services too (including for some of those your listed), although distance limits might come into play for some family subscriptions

Degree of certainty is the difference

This is why I want supported ports of SteamOS to the competitor devices

Look up rules for “constructive dismissal” in your jurisdiction. Not being given work can be counted as firing

The real problem with VM setups is that the host system might have crashed too

Wine/Proton on Linux occasionally beats Windows on the same hardware in gaming, because there’s inefficiencies in the original environment which isn’t getting replicated unnecessarily.

It’s not quite the same with CPU instruction translation, but the main efficiency gain from ARM is being designed to idle everything it can idle while this hasn’t been a design goal of x86 for ages. A substantial factor to efficiency is figuring out what you don’t have to do, and ARM is better suited for that.

It’s not that uncommon in specialty hardware with CPU instructions extensions for a different architecture made available specifically for translation. Some stuff can be quite efficiently translated on a normal CPU of a different architecture, some stuff needs hardware acceleration. I think Microsoft has done this on some Surface devices.

And that scene where she can’t pull in the non-accelerated astronaut colleague while still being in atmosphere thin enough that he wouldn’t fall behind, so he just drifts away through magic

It doesn’t usually need to go to court if the lawyer can remind them of what laws they’re breaking

As a cryptography nerd, +100000 to that

Contact a lawyer that specialize in worker rights. If they make you use private property for work they should compensate you

They’re are multiple open source options like n2n

ZeroTier can be a fully self hosted VPN. You set up a server locally, port forward only the VPN service, and then everything else you run is accessible through it for the people you give access to.

If you set up port forwarding for file shares you must keep setting it up again for every new service.

If you set up a VPN once then you’re simply done. Every new service you set up is available directly.

Some kind of name system surely.

That’s not even the type of setup you should use. Use a VPN of the type designed for games and IoT stuff, like ZeroTier, n2n, and more. Then you set up a local file share using something like Samba, only accessible by the people who can connect to your local network via the VPN.

The public facing VPN code will be MUCH more hardened against attack than your typical sharing tool with port forwarding.
