Here is some pictures of how my workstation looks like.

I used my Samsung Galaxy Note with the camera application called 'Vignette' to take those pictures. I also used the image filter called 'London' in the camera app to get this type of effect. And the pictures might be quite big here to.

Lets start with my whole desktop.

Now to my Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and to my lovely Bowers & Wilkins P3 headphones.

Here you can see my shiny new Samsung 9-series laptop with Intel Core i7-3517U CPU, 8 GB DDR 3 RAM, 128 GB SSD (Samsung SSD) and Windows 8 Professional.

Now to the inside of my main computer.

Remember that the quality on my pictures isn't as good as they would be original, because the filter in Vignette.

What do you think of my workstation i use daily?

EDIT: Yes, one of my LED fans in the front of the computer case is broken, so i had to cut the power to the fan, since it makes werid noises.

Looks a nice rig, I wouldn't use any filters on its photos though,

Filters would look good for a building / landscape pic, but for a rig, needs to be as clear as possible ;)

This is my first post so I oughta make it good :)

This is my desktop at home. Please not that I build computers at both of my jobs. One is build to suit and the other is build to order with fixed specs of i7 3370k and 2gb ram.

This is my desktop at home. I make movies on it, virtual machines to test my ideas on, I write code, do homework, and watch movies. I recently got into Farcry 3, I don't know if anyone here has heard of it but I think it's the best thing ever - right next to pinball and tetris.

i7 960 @ 3.2 on Sabertooth x58 with 6gb 1600 ram, 160gb Intel ssd, 560GTX TI and 550GTX TI work together great for multi-screen but I'm thinking PowerColor 7970 with eyefinity and get 2 more of the 42 inch tv's but I really don't think it'd be necessary. The TV is a 42 inch LG and I love it, 23 inch viewsonic, and a 17' acer (borrowed it from work with a linux box). Macbook Pro 15" i7 2.7ghz 3740qm (i think) 750gb 72k RPM, 8gb RAM, on and my logitech 5.1 set. Windows 8 is in the haus!

If you're lucky, I might put up a picture of the system I scored @micom Systems. Studio machine went down so I had to replace it quick so I'm installing some software now and trying to capture the image in a vm.

If that's your PC on the top, get a new case, so you can stick that H80 in there, and clean up your wire mess.

I would be scared of that monitor on top wanting to end it all and end yours as well...... please make sure you don't push it over the edge emotionally or it will jump...

Anyone with a data-limited plan should turn off image downloading if they are worried about running over. Or simply not go to a thread that is basically ALL IMAGES.

Common sense is rarer than helium/diamonds in today's world, so that would simply just not make sense.

That's a pretty messy build...whats with the cooler hanging out the case? And why are there single wires all over? It looks like you tapped into lines? not exactly safe.

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
