there was a five-day window of time between January 16-21, 2022, where an attacker had access to a support engineer’s laptop.

Support engineers are also able to facilitate the resetting of passwords and multi-factor authentication factors for users

No breach at all here.

yet side mirrors are large enough and concave (like on all modern cars) that if you set them up properly, there's really no blind spot a car or bike can fit in.

Not in the US unfortunately. All my European cars had almost no blind spot. Then I moved to the US and was really surprised.

I had a similar problem and couldn't use keyboard/mouse for a week when it reached the tipping point.

Definitely start with the ergonomics of your workspace.

This solved my issues:

1. Use trackball instead of a mouse - Logitech M570 is amazing.

2. Use wrist support or a really slim keyboard like the Apple Magic keyboard. Your wrists should not be bent.

3. Use keyboard without numerical keys at the right. Reaching too much to the right to use the mouse was also causing me the issues.

Also don't forget about ergonomics of your desk, chair, and display.

There are some companies where the only way to get promoted is to release a new better improved system. So there is an endless loop of rewrites and migrations all over the company.

If you don't like it, you will probably have to join a place with a different culture.

Edit:

If this is the case only for SRE roles then you need to find out why are you rewriting and moving to new, shinier systems. Is there a big improvement? Or is it just for a sake of changing something?
