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.

    • Umm, read my answer again! If you have something to add or contribute, feel free. Otherwise my point was that you apparently dont want faster updates... so you want slower updates by process of elimination. If you have something to contribute, meaningful answers are better.
    • These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
