How can technical support professionals manage stress and burnout in a high-pressure environment?
One of my favorite quotes is as follows: "PROBLEMS are OPPORTUNITIES that haven't presented themselves." - Wilson Fisk Attitude is key, especially when dealing with new challenges. Approach each opportunity with joy as you'll become a better person whom has persevered over a tribulation. Remember that everyone struggles from time to time and that's ok. Don't strive for perfection and understand limitations of yourself and others. Identify personal weaknesses and find a resource with those strengths. Help wherever you can, because you will need help when you least expect it. Set a "serve" mindset instead of a "be served" mindset. In the end, we're all replaceable no matter what the position held is.

Your computer hardware isn't powerful enough for virtualization. What can you do to fix it?
It's possible to virtualize a training/learning environment using VMware and Raspberry Pi's; with trial software. This would take a remote wipe, but it makes a cheaper solution for a mobile environment. The question is why go through all of that trouble to make something that is close to obsolescence, even past serviceability, last longer. The examples given pretty much don't support a Win11 OS, so when the next version comes out, it's further outdated. This is the mechanic buying the car for cheap because they know how to fix it. When a hobby becomes a full time job, your time becomes more valuable.

Your computer hardware isn't powerful enough for virtualization. What can you do to fix it?
Though I hate to pay for a service, it makes sense for uptime results. Ask yourself this question. How long can my infrastructure be down before the business takes in the black losses? If Godzilla flattens the building, what's the next step? What happens if the ISP can't restore services for days? Do you have redundancy? Possibly a hot/cold site? Mobile solutions can now limp a business along for days without too much of an impact, so why not let someone else manage the backend? Does it make sense to prevent Ransomware attacks? How many DC's housing cloud storage have you heard of going down? How many times do services get interrupted do to power issues? Right size you business, look at growth (people and data) then compare the cost of each

Your computer hardware isn't powerful enough for virtualization. What can you do to fix it?
What is the end goal, to solve this year's problem or to solve a problem for the next 5? Laptop lifecycle renewal is around 2-3 years due to wear and tear, so when does a server (physical) need to be replaced? If you guessed 5-7 years, this would be correct. Virtualization is an amazing way to virtually double a Server, however, you're introducing a single point of failure for multiple systems instead of one. Unless you're looking for a Highly available solution (with failovers available), you're not saving much by going the single server (traditional route). Also, I've seen a Virtual Machine be detected as a virus in a scan because the virus software didn't hold an exception policy when an auto-update occurred. Plan/budget for LCR.
