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/

Well, here we go.

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.

    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the formats of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. We all know that users just use the defaults and almost never change them. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO. Otherwise, shut up and move along.
