I’ve been using the Oakywood Standing Desk Pro as the centerpiece of my setup daily for several weeks now, and this review collects everything I’ve learned so far.

I’ll be honest: I spend a huge portion of my life at a desk. Coding sessions for Frontier Engine, slide decks for conferences, podcast recordings, writing on this blog,… all of it happens on a surface of roughly 1.4 by 0.7 meters. My old desk was functional, but at some point it hit me: the piece of furniture I spend 70+ hours a week at probably deserves to be more than just “functional.”

That’s where Oakywood came in.

Tab Groups in MS Edge Chromium is the example I keep coming back to: a tiny UX change that helps research-heavy users keep their browsing sessions sane. This post shows how to enable Tab Groups in MS Edge Chromium (and the related grouping behaviour) for the entire fleet through Microsoft Intune, with the recommended baseline and how to scope it per user group.

Tab groups are a useful feature in the Edge browser that I have become very accustomed to and that makes my work much easier. Note: this guide is from 2021 and Tab Groups in MS Edge Chromium are now a standard feature, so these flag steps may no longer be necessary.
