Re:How can I access USB devices in a cloud workstation setup on Thursday November 14, 2024 @05:32AM (#42134844)
I had a similar issue but with a 3D mouse, which I rely on heavily for design work. Most remote desktop setups don’t support USB connections. After some research, I found a tool that turned out to be exactly what I needed. You can find more details here https://www.net-usb.com/features/usb-to-cloud/

I recently worked from home and saved a lot of time by cutting out the commute.
Re:Ask HN: What books helped you for your career progression? on Monday November 11, 2024 @02:18PM (#42109697)
Books about famous people really help me especially learning how they achieved success. We usually only see them once they’ve made it but we don’t get to see all their struggles along the way. It’s fascinating to read about what they’ve been through. And of course educational books are important too, depending on your profession.

When Teamviewer started blocking connections because of exceeding the limits, I switched to https://www.helpwire.app/ which runs smoothly on both Windows and Mac. And it's free.

Thank you for your recommendations! You’ve been very helpful.
I had mentors at work who taught me how and what to do in the beginning and helped me a lot. When it comes to life in general, I interact with many people—older, younger, more successful, and less successful. You can always learn something from each of them, but not all advice is worth taking to heart. Only you know what’s best for you. It’s also very important to find motivation in books, movies, positive experiences, and the stories of people who have achieved their goals. Look for inspiration in everything that moves you.

I love reading biographies of famous people. I especially liked "My Life and Work: An Autobiography of Henry Ford." I also enjoy books by Paul Ekman.
For beginners, "Naked Statistics: Stripping the Dread from the Data" by Charles Wheelan is a great choice. It explains everything with examples, making it super easy to read.
