The idea discussed in the article was one of progressive overload; slowly make your body adapt to an ever increasing workload. Don't go straight for the 200kg deadlift when you are new to the gym, in other words.

The endpoint stuff kills laptop performance. I left my previous job and they let me keep my X1 Nano (1st gen; 16GB memory) which was performing abysmally towards the end.

Deleted all the partitions and did a 100% clean install (multi boot Win11/Fedora), and it's suddenly what feels like 2-4x as fast. Made sure to disable some of the Copilot and Internet content in search menu rubbish etc with a few registry tweaks (yay for having admin access to get rid of the bloat/junk).

Fedora/Wayland/Plasma still feels faster though - I just had some issues getting my video to work properly across all of Teams and Zoom.

I missed that - thanks!

Would it kill them to let me specify my own username, as it appears in `c:\users\$username` ?

MyUXG Max has DHCP, and for my attached devices if I specify a static IP I get the option to set a Local DNS record.

There's no central management of these records that I'm aware of though.

Absolutely love my Unifi setup, recently upgraded my USG to the UXG as the old was EOL and not performant enough for gigabit routing with SPI.
