If you're going through all that effort why not migrate to open-source/self-hosted?

I brought a T450 and the screen hinge snapped off after 2 years literally a week after the warranty was up.
I missed the heyday of IBM Thinkpads but the apparent blind brand loyalty and cult like following they have now is unneeded and allows Lenovo to get away with crazy things like 1368p screens is crazy.

It takes one bad experience to ruin a reputation.
Guy went on Fox news (against the communities) wishes and made millions of people's first impression of r/AntiWork to be negative.
In the modern world optics are EVERYTHING and that cannot be understated. Imho the first thing they need to change (which they have with their move to the new subreddit) is renaming it from r/AntiWork to r/WorkReform.
Most of the sub (I'd wager >80%) are Americans asking for workers rights that are the norm in western Europe. Things like paid maternal/paternal leave, greater work life balance and paid overtime, flexibly working and WFH.
The majority of people in America are almost certainly in favour of that, but you get a dog walker going on TV on a notoriously provocative network talking about "anti-work" it's just mind boggling.

Yeah measuring both PM2.5 and CO2 will help in balancing the two.

Will help in generally combatting absenteeism as well as things like seasonal cold/flu.

CO2 as a proxy to air ventilation is a good start BUT doesn't show the full picture of what makes up IAQ (indoor air quality).
Better (but more expensive) would be monitors that could measure PM2.5 molecules in the air like that of the airborne aerosols that transmit Covid (phlegm, spittle etc).
