<p>24/7 monitoring is a hardware reliability problem disguised as a software install. The weak points are power, heat, and sleep policies.</p>
|
|
<h2>Power</h2>
|
|
<p>Use a UPS if the building blinks. Disable Windows sleep on lid-close if the laptop must keep running closed—or use a small desktop so lids are irrelevant.</p>
|
|
<h2>Network</h2>
|
|
<p>Prefer ethernet. Keep a documented hotspot fallback. USB ethernet adapters are cheap compared with a missed collab.</p>
|
|
<h2>Heat</h2>
|
|
<p>A laptop on a bed running capture plus a browser plus a VPN will thermal-throttle and then throttle your attention. Elevate it. Dust the vents.</p>
|
|
<h2>Displays</h2>
|
|
<p>A second screen for chat versus charts reduces misclicks. It also increases power draw. Measure before you add a third.</p>
|
|
<h2>Spares</h2>
|
|
<p>One spare machine with the client already installed is worth more than a perfect primary with no backup. Image the spare quarterly.</p>
