As a one man shop for the small company I work for this is great advice. Inspired me to create a new "read this in case of emergency" doc if I get hit by a bus.
Same here, AMD Ryzen PC. Not liquid cooled, but it is a mini-itx cube which is neat.
I have a mid 2012 MB air that I still love. Screen isn't nearly as nice, but I use it over the MBP because the keyboard isn't like typing on cement and I can actually use it on my lap without feeling like its actively trying to burn my balls off. In all fairness though, I have a XPS 9560 and 9360 and both overheat and throttle like crazy and require throttle stop. Lone cowboy admin for a small company so I've got a pile of laptops.
Neat idea, I don't fit the demographic but maybe there is a stronger representation of the family man in remote working and why that loneliness stat is so low in your experience. My family keeps me plenty of company throughout the day and myself and coworkers have great communication. I have never felt lonely. It's not being with other people I miss though, it's the in person random collaboration sessions I miss. Reddit and this site fill in some of that gap.
My coworkers and I will have productivity, creativity, or brainstorming sessions at each other’s homes every two or three months (sometimes less frequently) to help fulfill the desire for in-person collaboration. Work is willing to reimburse for travel time because we’re lucky enough to have an owner that sees the value in it. Also, we all live in the same region, so it’s a 3 hour drive at most for any one of us, depending on where we decide to meet.
You should consider something similar and propose it to management if you think it would benefit the team.
