I worked with someone who had one who loved it.  I tried it once and it was very weird, but I think it helps a lot.

One of my employees was having wrist issues and we have like ergonomics consultants that work for us and they came out and like watched him sit and work and then changed the height of his desk (our desks are all upppy downys) and then got him one of those mice that you hold like you’re holding a drink. Looked incred weird but he said he loved it.

ya most non-hayseedy companies treat ergonomic concerns pretty seriously to avoid osha and other lawsuits and also paying out disability insurance

because i am built like a greek god, the ergonomic people usually have to come raise the height of my desk too.  usually afterwards a bunch of hot chicks stop by and ask to take pictures with me and for my autograph.  its v cool

@DaBigTrain or any other computer nerds. I think I need to put my once decent router out to pasture. Either that, or write letters to Disney bitching about the ESPN+ feed being inherently slow.

I believe a budget of $200 is realistic to get me what I need. I have a ton of connected devices, and there's likely quite a bit of signal interference here.

What's the play?

Not sure what you have for hardware at your house but this article should help. There’s basically two routes you could go for what you asked. The first is just buying a router that has a VPN server built into it. The second would be to create a VPN server at your house but that way requires a lot more networking and hardware requirements. Hope this article points you in the right direction.

It was time for a refresh of my home office stuff since I've had the same setup for a few years.

I got 3 of these and they came today, highly recommend.

Also got I think my third generation of this laptop/mouse combo, I absolutely love them and have one for work today.

The dark field laser sensor tracks flawlessly where standard mice fail.

Did not realize my mouse sucks so much ass apparently.

Upgrade time!   :excited:

Guys, should I get this?  It's SUCH A GOOD DEAL!  I would get 2 of them if I did, and a new dock, for my personal laptop for the workday.  So a total of 3 24" monitors(work) and 2 27" monitors(personal).  Do I need it, NO.  Is this a good deal and I want them, YES!

They came today and holy crap, yes they are great.  Make my 24" monitors feel like tiny little baby monitors.  I may have gone overboard tho on this whole setup lol

if you're going to steal tons of furniture and monitors and crap I've got an elite protip for you: a chair can be used like a shopping cart if you are good at balancing things on it.
