Ideally this would have coincided with a Sun/Apple/NeXT merger so we would all use OpenSTEP for Solaris on open SPARC systems today :).
Well, we got something similar with the ARM Macs - though not really open for other manufacturers (at least you can install other OSes on the ARM Macs). The ARM Macs could be considered the last remaining Unix workstations - though Apple unfortunately tries really hard to hide more and more of macOS' Unix roots.
Although the company is moving to RISC-V for future processors.
Soon after was the Cray S-MP multiprocessing SPARC server: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_S-MP
(I was lucky to get to use the S-MP to "port" some product to it. They also had the matrix coprocessor there, which was much more parallel.)
Both Solbourne's and Cray's multiprocessing SPARC servers were before Sun's own `sun4m` products, IIRC.
> If the recording is done by visible cameras, federal law seems to allow videotaping of individuals in the workplace, even without their consent or knowledge, as long as it is not done to commit a crime.
Videotaping is one thing, publishing that is another. If I were a member of staff at a company during a rough point, and had to make a tough speech, I might be upset if it came out later. In some jurisdictions, releasing it would likely be a privacy violation, unless consent was obtained first.
I don't think most people would reasonably expect privacy in the context of a staff meeting.
