OMG you got a LOGITECH RACING WHEEL! how is it? I want one/.

Hey, it's awesome. It's the G25, not the latest model but I have had it a few years. Never had a problem, even works with win8. It's good with games such as F1 2012, rFactor, Dirt and other games. But I am really looking forward to project cars - ]http://www.wmdportal.../projects/cars/

shot with my monster of a Sony DSC-H20 and yes its a mess but if it wasnt i wouldn't be productive. :p

So where is your emergency fire exit? I think a lot of women would be able to fit in but wouldn't be able to turn around.

It was on the http://www.nasa.gov/ site I often view the 'Image of the day' and keep an eye on the curiosity updates. The nasa site provides really high resolution images :), good for desktop backgrounds.

Ironically asks for the whereabouts of a wallpaper for his desktop... argues constantly that the desktop is dead.

Hurrrr...

You people with your empty desks with nothing on them but a keyboard, a mouse and a monitor make me laugh. Those aren't workstations, they're museum pieces for which you don't get to charge for admission.

The only reason I don't have a spec of dust on my desk is that there's no empty area on its surface for dust to accumulate. It's not messy, it's being used. :-)

A messy desk is just that a mess, not usable foe real work, a nicely organized desk is usable and efficient

Gotta try and sneak a shot of my workstation here when management isn't looking

Yeah but problem is with more than half the empty desks on here are so empty you can tell they dont use it... So if i see a super clean desk it either means they cleaned it before pic or dont use it..

A messy desk and a desk that is a mess is a huge difference.. I swear if I went to other Electrical Engineer's houses and they had a clean organized desk something is wrong lol

I HATE clutter with a passion, my desk is what you would call super clean, yet it works for many of us

Most of the engineers/masters and above seem to agree to this: "A messy desk is a busy desk, a clean one means no work", I do agree however that are very exceptional people that doesn't like messiness.

Well that is different, im talking about I have my desk with projects such as micro controllers, breadboards, books and work... Dunno about these ketchup bottles and ****..

If you took that as obnoxious, then obviously you live a different world than most.

If you spent more time on reading what I said and look at my pictures I am neat and clean. All I SHARING was that IMO if you have a desk it should used for work and I would expect some paperwork or books showing actively.

I dont live in messes, but I believe to keep some form of sanity we must live in chaos. Just another two of my cents before you go off saying im being obnoxious again :rolleyes:

If where you live you have tons of people that have areas like that (I have yet to see any), might be time for you to move bud.

Youre real funny guy, made my laugh for the day.

In the end people are happy with just keyboards and mouse on desks, others prefer to use it as workstations as I.

im into this,. Love having a clean desk, i know where everything is and if i need space to work on something its there. No need to move things and lose stuff. But i have mates who have a messy desk and it works for them. each to there own i guess.

You dropped your toys.. they are under your desk..

[pats my U-shaped desk] My favorite desk. My office is almost done. Planning to post a picture of it on here soon.

The other parts of my office.... LOL

Regarding messy desks (I'm the one who started talking about this 2 or 3 pages back)...

I'm a software developer, so I have a multiple monitors / keyboards / laptops / tablets on my desk. I also always have lots of paper notes around me, references, books, wires, adapters of all sorts, office supplies, etc. I'm not going to waste time putting all of these elsewhere for the sake of clearing the surface of my desk every evening when I call it quits, only to move everything back on it the next morning. I just don't see the point of that. When I get back to work, everything's still exactly the way I left it, so I can jump right back to where I was.

That being said...unlike some people posting pictures here, you won't find old food containers, empty drink bottles, etc on my desk. These just don't serve any purpose, and keeping them around just makes you a slob.

I haven't made dramatic changes from the structure of my desk since the last time I participated, but here is my latest desk. The biggest adjustment was to do all matching screens. So I have 3xDell U2410. I also switched from my old Logitech MX 5500 KB set to the DAS Pro and SteelSeries Sensi.

Overall, I'm happy with the state of my system at the moment.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
