Love the chair, what's it called and where from?

Thanks, but I don't really like the chair... it is made from a very soft and delicate leather & plastic. It is comfortable though. The cats have put plenty of holes in it already.

I got it from amazon when it was on sale: Boss Black LeatherPlus Executive Chair

What kind of desk is that? Also, does it have like a glassy top? Nice setup btw :D

By looking at the shelves to the right in the first picture I'd say it's from Ikeas Expedit series, well assuming they use the same names worldwide of course :p

Slugger that's epic!

Mine has not changed that much since last time on top except for a new chair:

But under the hood there have been some changes, more RAM/SSD etc :p

Can't wait until cases are only geared towards SSDs, so much saved space!

I like working on my PC in the kitchen, food is always at hand.

ugh! you tend to get better looking chairs at staples in the UK :(

We have that chair here. I've seen it in Staples a few times @ 11th & Market I'm certain.

mrk - that is one helluva cable mgmt job - I am envious.

Every build I spend an hour or so installing the hardware - but I'll spend 5-6 on getting the cables perfect - and I never get it to look like yours.

I think I am using the wrong PSUs

I gave up on cable management. My case isn't really designed for it (Antec 300), plus the CPU and GPU run so cool. I've got the CPU to bottom at 19c, and tops out at 40c (with Arctic Freezer 7 Pro), and GPU bottoms at 28c and tops out mid 60's. I do have nice fans though, and I guess that can make a difference. Also, it is a suprisingly quiet computer too. I am contemplating on moving to a case with more flexible cable management, but I've just been too lazy.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
