If it's between a work machine and personal machine this could be an unacceptable security risk. I wouldn't do it!

This! Even ignoring the personal risk side of it plenty of places of work would have policies in place that prevent the installation of tools like a mouse sharer.

There's not a chance that our security policy would allow that.

I didn’t get where I am by not taking risks.

I can’t even install anything on my work’s laptop unless it’s from the company repository. And even when I went to install Firefox from there for something that didn’t work on edge it sent an email to my line manager before I could install it. I use a Logitech keyboard that has 3 Bluetooth profiles to hop between work/iPad/my PC.

Only since we moved to windows 10 this started I think. I’m sure I installed GNS3 from a usb stick on my old windows 8 work desktop.

Can't imagine that's particularly nice.

Having said that, I have a lot of digestion issues and have recently been drinking Twinings Digestive Blend (apple, peppermint, ginger, rooibos and boabab) which I nearly spat out when I first tried it but having persevered with it I've developed a taste the for it

It has a bit of honey, lemon and a few other spices in with it. But it's mostly turmeric. Tastes lovely!

And it's good for my joints.
