While coding this morning I decided to snap a shot for the Workstation thread. This is my home setup and I'm a Windows Phone developer, as you can see.

The phone on the stand is my developer handset, Dell Venue Pro. The phone on the desk is my personal phone, also a Dell Venue Pro.

Sorry for the grainy shots. I couldn't locate the battery for my wife's DSLR so I had to settle for the Point & Shoot.

upgrade your CPU/GPU/RAM then, works smooth as you like on my desktop, lags like hell on my netbook.

Same her, runs just fine on my computer. That said it also runs fine on my iPad so as far as I'm concerned Chrome should not be lagging on any computer capable to run Windows 7 (so not any any netbooks).

@remixedcat and IflashI

Just out of curiosity how do IE and Firefox perform?

IE9 works great, firefox works the best!

I got sleeves for my HDD cables.... put em all in the one sleeve and clamped it down. I leave a couple spare cables in there for upgrades as well.

Long time no post, I've been living on my own the past 12months. It's been tough but looking for a bigger place in 2012..Note I cycle to work everyday a lot of people say it's odd having a bike next to your pc but I've warmed to it over time. I wish I could show my workstation at work but due to NDA I'm unable to take photos.

    • Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
