Show us your Workstations - 2011 Edition


Recommended Posts

I just ordered one to replace my current Razor Mantis which was a measly 30cm x 25cm :whistle:

I have a boogie bug as well and they are very good. I have had to cut it slightly to fit the curve of my desk.

You'll see my laptop there also (barely) don't worry I've not purposely placed it there to 'show off' I was actually about to work on it :p

Are those regular TN panels?

why do people put thier workstations by the window... what if there's a leak? that would suck. or a crazed streaker busts in from outside and you've got a broken monitor and a dead naked guy lying on your desk. that would he hard 'splanin to do.

Plus, who in their right mind would expect a streaker to come into their house... :| Why would you setup your furniture with a thing like that in mind, lol.

there's areas that attract those types... you never know you've moved into one of those till several months or even years later. the first one shows up, then more start to show up and you've got lots of 'splainin to do.... then you try to plan out and new identitiy and move out to Utah and become a mormon and nobody would ever know. Plus out there you won't have to deal with the streakers..... right? anyone from UT wanna comment on that?

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
    • do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
