I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

Looking back, it's kind of wild how much your perspective changes.

Something I used to believe:
Working longer hours = better results

Now I think:
Focused hours > long hours

What belief did you completely change your mind on?
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

Sorry to tell you mate the tooth fairy isn't real either. Spoiler alert
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Can't argue with that. Yeah I get that.

Cheers for sharing.

That matches what the more reliable sources are saying. This feels like one of those topics where the longer term effect matters more than the daily noise.

I will update this thread if anything significant changes.

If I am honest I agree completely. There is usually more recency bias in these discussions than people admit.

Yes, and I would add that it is even more true if your hardware is older. Worked for me at least.

That is the obvious answer but not always the right one. I keep a list of what I do to every fresh install so I can repeat it without thinking.

Start there and see if it makes a difference.

Inland Aidan

Sorted it the same way. Should be fine if you take your time.
I read every reply. Even the bad ones.

There is a bit more to it than that I think. Happy to help further if you get stuck. :D
