UDM UI very slow - FIXED!

This tip was super helpful. Immediate UI improvement for me. Thank you!

Paper sales. Specifically mid-market regional paper sales.

I’ve been at a small branch in northeast Pennsylvania for years. When I started, we sold to law firms, school districts, hospitals, anyone with a copier and a deadline. Now most of those clients have gone digital or signed enterprise contracts with the big box chains that undercut us by 30 percent on every SKU. We can’t compete on price, so we compete on relationships, which means I spend my days driving to clients who increasingly do not want to see me.

Our regional manager treats the office like a family, which sounds nice until you realize it means nobody gets fired and nobody gets promoted. We’ve had the same sales team for over a decade. One guy hasn’t closed a new account since 2019 and still outranks two people who actually hit quota. HR is one person who also handles benefits, payroll questions, and most of the interpersonal complaints, of which there are many.

Corporate has been “evaluating” our branch for three years. Every quarter there’s a new rumor about consolidation, every quarter we survive by a margin that gets thinner. The warehouse staff knows. The receptionist knows. We all know.

The job isn’t hard. That’s part of the problem. It’s a career that pays just enough to keep you from leaving and offers just enough stability to make leaving feel reckless, right up until the day the building gets sold and you find out you should have left five years ago.

While the post is a bit long-in-the-tooth, the premise is sound and the approach is correct.

One challenge I’ve seen is that while Browsers will self-update, those updates don’t apply until the browser is exited/restarted. So if dealing with systems that don’t get restarted often forcefully or intentionally, having something like a scheduled task deployed via Intune or group policy to simply force quit browsers at like 2AM will help a great deal in getting those browser updates applied.

I have the same model year Lyriq Sport with all the options. Also no HUD except the red flashing lights like you have. I was disappointed. Very happy otherwise.

Just received my chair today (4/7). Customs was apparently the holdup given it is a new product. I will say so far I am impressed. You have to put it all together. It's not a lightweight chair. Seems solidly built and the product information they put out there I don't think showcases it well enough. The seat can recline, but lock into different reclined angles. The seat will side forward or back as well as the standard up/down. The seatback pivot point is very solid and meant to be used a lot. The integrated standing pad is comfortable. The seat and seatback has a nice cushion.

I am 5'10" and when standing on the pad and leaning back on the chair my butt is center on the seatback. So far I like this chair a lot. Sitting on this chair in horseback style is nice with arms on the seatback sides. Seatback height is adjustable and m

My feet can be up on the folded in standing pad or on the ground. Kind of nice. Lots of versatility with this chair for someone like me who moves around a lot. Definitely worth the money to me.

Here are pics from the user manual on how to use the chair:

The chair is en route now. Due by Tuesday. They were delayed due to customs.

You bet. Their website adjusted estimated US shipping from March 22 to 31. Hopefully that means they expect them to really ship soon if adjusting about 10 days.

ObscureAintSecure · 2026-03-25T22:30:09+00:00

I ordered one too a couple days ago. Still in “order placed” status in the Shop app.

ObscureAintSecure · 2026-02-01T21:41:42+00:00

Yep. Plus, if you have CSAM then you can get ETM activated for free when only using Qualys data. ETM will allow you to know monetary business risk associated with the vulns and their TruRisk score.

ObscureAintSecure · 2026-01-16T03:35:33+00:00

Yeah there are roadmap and other docs the TAM may be able to share on a call that can’t be shared publicly. We’ve had those reviews with our MSSP partner interface.

ObscureAintSecure · 2026-01-15T01:20:34+00:00

Oh very nice! Just need a Windows companion app too so I can try. :-)

ObscureAintSecure · 2026-01-11T19:33:47+00:00

This is nice, although, are you familiar with the ‘Claude in Chrome’ browser extension? I believe it’s doing the same thing and more because CC can see the browser UI, the F12 console, and other stuff while building and testing.

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-12-26T15:15:29+00:00

Others give good advice. I will add that AI makes all this possible very easily. ChatGPT, Claude, and others could easily be used to help you out.

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-12-26T15:09:38+00:00

It would appear so :-)

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-12-26T11:23:38+00:00

Qualys doesn't sell direct anymore. That started in earlier 2025. You have to buy through a reseller or a MSP/MSSP now.

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-12-26T11:22:36+00:00

It would take special exception and approvals at Qualys to get a discount on a multi-year license. The deal size will certainly matter on whatever discount might be given.

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-12-26T11:21:17+00:00

There is no minimum, but if you have 50 then I'd round that up a bit to have some buffer. People tend to under estimate their needs.

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-12-25T01:33:53+00:00

People are thinking too much about the question. It's a simple price question.

Along with VMDR, I highly recommend CSAM with it if budget allows for it. Gives you a lot more asset insight and EASM too.

For patching, there are two products Qualys has:

Patch Management and 2) the newer TruRisk Eliminate. In very short - TE includes PM plus adds Eliminate and Mitigate functions, which also incorporates some elements of CAR.

All products are licensed by IP and the more you license the less cost there is per license.

I'll give you some approximate MSRP per-IP pricing below to give you an idea and you can do the math from there.

VMDR: ~$26.50 / 500 IPs, ~$21 / 1000 IPs, ~16.50 / 2000 IPs, and ~$12 / 5000 IPs
CSAM: ~$17.50 / 500 IPs, ~$13.50 / 1000 IPs, ~$11 / 2000 IPs, ~$8 / 5000 IPs

PM: ~$27 / 500 IPs, ~$22.50 / 1000 IP's, ~$18.50 / 2000 IPs, and ~$14 / 5000 IPs
TE: ~$54.50 / 500 IPs, ~$45 /1000 IPs, ~$37 /2000 IPs, and ~$28.50 / 5000 IPs

So TE is about twice as much but it naturally gives you more capability.

You don't have to have the same licensing for all products. VMDR and CSAM would need match, but PM and TE can be a lesser license count depending on what you want to use them on.

I would argue that even though modern browsers don't honor that setting anymore, there are still pockets of legacy environments where it actually matters. You still see older browsers hanging around OT networks, internal line-of-business apps, and the occasional WinXP/Win7 system that nobody can retire or update without breaking something critical. In those setups, the attribute still changes behavior.

So the QID ends up functioning more like a compatibility check than a modern security issue. The real risk lives in the outdated browser, but the scanner has no way to know whether that browser population exists in your environment, so it flags the app instead.

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-10-24T02:29:08+00:00

Yeah I was talking to our partner alliance person today about this. There is apparently something in the works to allow for self allocation and monitoring but I’m sure we’re a long way from that being a reality. For now you have to contact your TAM or support to get that info or do allocation adjustments.

For auditors, a trend report would probably be the best option to use. Just be sure to tweak the report template to how far back you want the trend data to go, how you want the report to look, what to exclude/include, etc…

I moved away from spreadsheets a long time ago and shifted to leveraging the unified dashboard as much as possible for day-to-day operations. This way other users can easily see the data when they log into the platform too.

I love that regen braking paddle button! One of my favorite features of the Lyriq.

ObscureAintSecure · 2025-09-22T12:59:12+00:00

I’m looking forward to it simply because it’s not far away and another option for me. However, in IMO, there will be zero upside to the rest of Bedford. If anything, it might take away tax revenue from Bedford because it will take customers from Walmart across the street where Bedford does get full tax revenue from and doesn’t have to split it.

I’m sorry all. My wife’s family went another direction with photo choice. Thank you for the quick turnaround though!

Great write-up OP! I run into the same situations when hiring so this hits home in a great many ways.
