<h2 id="series-introduction">Series Introduction</h2>
<p>From the desk of the CTO is a series of posts I&rsquo;ve been drafting for a few months and am finally publishing. It is quite literally about my &ldquo;desk&rdquo; (digital/physical) (office/workbench/shop).</p>
<h3 id="chapter-introduction">Chapter Introduction</h3>
<p>This chapter of the series (Daily driver) is about the computer systems I&rsquo;m using daily.</p>
<ul>
<li>ultix-control</li>
<li>ultix-sidekick</li>
<li>ultix-actual</li>
</ul>
<p>Let&rsquo;s kick it off&hellip;.</p>
<h2 id="about-ultix-control">About ultix-control</h2>
<h3 id="system-specs">System Specs</h3>
<ul>
<li>System name: ultix-control</li>
<li>Make/model: Surface Go Laptop</li>
<li>OS: Windows 11</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="system-summary">System Summary</h3>
<p>This system is built and operated as a lean/mean machine. It serves as my primary daily driver in my office and when I&rsquo;m on the road (along with the iPad) (documented later in this series).</p>
<p>It is paired with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Yeti Microphone</li>
<li>Elgato StreamDeck mini</li>
<li>Logitech Webcam</li>
<li>Yubikey</li>
<li>7 port USB3 hub</li>
</ul>
<p>All of the above (and external wired monitors when I use them) are going into a Surface Dock</p>
<h3 id="system-functions">System Functions</h3>
<ul>
<li>RDP to the CTO workstation (ultix-actual) and passes through microphone/webcam/elgato
stream deck mini.</li>
</ul>
<p>I use RDP constantly throughout my TSYS workday.</p>

<p>I rely on my yubikey with a prefix alphanumeric pin on the ultix-actual profiles. I keep all three logged in and switch as needed by disconnecting/reconnecting the RDP session.</p>
<h3 id="applications">Applications</h3>
<p>The below list is streamlined for the very few functions performed on the laptop. 99% of the laptop usage is in Chrome with various virtual desktops</p>
