  • i thought i was the only one. i use one occasionally to keep downloads (ahem, updates) or streaming from sucking the internet connection dry… so i have some left for more important things, like doom scrolling and games. other times (or when the hub’s being used elsewhere) i just manually configure the os (in windows, ‘speed and duplex’ via device manager) to use a slower connection on the lan port. either method comes in handy here where the internet speeds range from “kinda sucks” to “at least it’s faster than dialup”










  • you may want to re-enable the device encryption, especially if it’s a laptop that is taken out of the house regularly or the pc is used to store financial or personal documents.

    if you do: after it’s done, log into her microsoft account (the one tied to her windows login) and find the bitlocker recovery key (probably under devices). print it out or write it down (legibly, and double and triple checking). store it in a safe and secure place you won’t forget about.
