I know.

Haha, yea it needs cleaning badly :p

Also why is the x4 "stupid"? It's a brilliant keyboard! Typing is very nice, and the backlit keys are great when in the dark!

Is it necessary to have so many computers, tablets, and smart phones?

When you build apps and other crap for all platforms I would say yes.. I don't even have quite a few I need to get. I need to get Galaxy Tab, I need to get iPhone 4S and I need to get Galaxy Nexus

I wanna show mine, but my cables are just as messy. :/ I hate that, not matter what I do, I can't seem to get them organized.

ha that's exactally how i felt and then i tried to do a bit of organizing and it worked for the most part to the point where i felt the pic was good enough

Anyone else getting a kick out of the number of high dollar unshielded speakers sitting right next to high dollar computer systems slowly demagnetizing (or re-magnetizing depending on how you look at it) their hard drives?

The latest change to my desk involves the addition of a monitor stand. I think it was the best purchase I have made in a while as it really freed up the desk for usage. Not sure if I should post the old setup to gauge the change, but I'll do so hoping it doesn't clutter the post.

    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
    • 🤦🏻‍♂️ No, expected because 10 EOL
    • 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.
