neptuneGoogle’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle”
“Googlers assigned to the building are making do with Ethernet cables, using phones as hotspots, or working outside, where the Wi-Fi is stronger.”
How the fuck is a person that writes articles for a living not aware of the phrase “making due”? What goes through their mind when they write out “making do”? How the fuck does that make any sense to them?
While writing this angry comment, did you stop to consider that maybe they did their job right and you’re wrong?

Unless you’re living in the early 1900s, “make do” is correct for today’s English.
Yeah looks like I may be wrong about “make do” being incorrect. Didn’t know the spelling was changed in the 40s. I’ve always seen it written as “due”. Seems like an odd word to use though. Wouldn’t due make more sense? Like you’re able to meet the dues that are required?
Conversely, I’ve only ever seen “make do” used.
“Make due” would make sense to me in the context where debt is a factor, for example, “make due on rent”.
It doesn’t make sense when you apply that meaning to how the sentence was written in this article.
Good point on the difference in context. I guess that’s how I’ve seen it used mostly.
