My work set up. Nothing special but keeps me entertained.

Left + Middle screen is Windows 7 Enterprise

Right screen is Ubuntu on a seperate box (only just set up so I can have a play around)

Both machines controlled with one mouse and keyboard using Synergy (my day's achievement)

RE: some earlier posts in the thread.

Yes my desk still looks like that. No I didn't get the GC dev kit off ebay. No I haven't developed anything with it (though when I've got free time and the ideal mind to learn C/C++ I'll work on it).

And no, I wouldn't like a clean tidy desk :p ironically it is an organised mess, screwdrivers and whatnot on the right, capacitors/ICs/leds/etc. on the left, memory in front. :)

Anyone here use the IKEA LED dioder strips for their ambient backlighting? What's the best way to attach those to the desk?

I'd probably use something similar to the way they secure the cable in some UK plugs, a white strip of soft plastic tightened over the top of the wire by two screws either end, only replace "wire" for "LED strip" and "plug" for "desk"

I have the IKEA Dioders, they come with slide-through fixing points with screws and they also come with double sticky pads... so I attached one set to my wall using the fixing points and screws and I put another set on the underside front edge of my glass desk with the pads.

Hmm. I don't remember seeing those in the packaging, I'll have to take a look again, if not I can easily buy some. I was worried double stickies might burn, but if you're using them, I'll check them out.

Thanks! :)

EDIT: Yep, they're there. Sweet. I'll try those out!

Not the dioder strips I was talking about! :p

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
