I haven't made dramatic changes from the structure of my desk since the last time I participated, but here is my latest desk.

What desk do you have? I am looking for a new desk, and I really like how large the keyboard tray is on yours.

The desk is a Sauder Executive.

What wrist rest is that in front of the keyboard?

It is a Grifiti Fat Wrist Pad.

I had also posted on Reddit and I got asked a fair bit of questions about the setup and I have answered lots of them. Including stuff like how my SSDs are doing in RAID 0 without TRIM. So you can check the comments there too :)

What chair is that and did it help your pain?

This chair, http://www.simply-ergonomic.co.uk/enjoy-office-chair-p-2.html really expensive but worth it. You do have to build it when it arrives, but the quality is amazing. My favorite part is the base and the back, really comfortable. The neck rest is an extra comfort as well. I have notice when I play computer games it's really easy to relax now and actually enjoy it. It is helping my pain but I am on physio treatment so going to take me a long time to get better but the chair helps :).

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.

Got my new screen last week. Still not entirely sure if I'm going to keep it but it looks awesome on my desk atm (middle one):

Then again this isn't much of a "Work" station anymore since I can't get xampp running on Windows 8 properly :p

Is that game Mechassault?

I know some people are gonna think I'm a jackass for saying this (and I know I can be), but I'll say it nonetheless.

Judging by the pictures posted in this thread (and the older ones with the same title, created previous years), it seems to me that the vast majority have understood that "show us your workstations" means your work area, your desk setup, your office (home or otherwise), that sort of thing.

So I've come to appreciate these threads, as it's giving me (and others, I'm sure) ideas for how to better organize myself and my work surroundings (I'm a software developer, working from home). At some point I'm gonna have myself a desk custom-made--seriously influenced by the best ideas obtained here--so keep 'em coming, I say. Ikea furniture, eat your heart out.

So it always makes me laugh when I invariably see this smaller subset of people posting pictures of the insides of their computer(s). I'm not speaking on anyone's behalf but my own, but I feel they've completely missed the point of this thread.

Just putting it out there. Not trolling. Well, not entirely at least. There's this thread, there's the "share your desktop wallpaper" threads, there's the Hardware Hangout section, which is probably more appropriate...may I suggest the "share your neon lights and clear plastic computer side-panel window" threads?

Ok, maybe that last part was gratuitous, but I think I've made my point. Yes, I know I can just keep scrolling--which I do. And no, nobody died and made me king of forums. Whatever.

What about the "show us your server" thread? Where it's people posting their workplace network.

show us YOUR server... simple fact is, people can't read so let them get on with it.

My part of the desk at work. I'll post my home one this weekend

Despite my (fairly poor) efforts to resize after uploading, the image remains MASSIVE and requires a lot of zooming out.

Thanks. I love it. I now work from home primarily thanks to a new job and I added a docking station for the work laptop. It is definitely a lot better to work at than it was to use the computers at work.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
