Thanks for the information.

Btw, did you not install the top shelf part or what? Just wondering, b/c the version I looked at had a top shelf as well. Did you cut that section off?

There's 2 versions of the Jerker, one version is the one you're describing, not as wide, a curve in the middle and bars that go up each side for shelves (the computer desk), and then there's the standard jerker desk that saxondale's got.

I went to Ikea to buy myself one, and decided it looked like an absolute rip-off *gets ready for a flaming*, in the end I purchased a table top (around the same size as the jerker), 4 legs and a keyboard shelf for around half the price of a jerker, and IMO it looks a lot better (beefier) :p.

Doesn't your macbook overheat with it on and shut?

Oops... Sorry about the delayed reply.

It didn't overheat from my short time using it like that. I now use the MacBook keyboard instead of the wireless because the Option key is stuck meaning I wasn't able to type properly (it'd just come up with symbols).

Sax I'm intrigued by that set up, how does that work for you having the iMac behind the MacBook Pro like that? Or did you just do that for the picture :p Regardless if by accident or not, it looks like it could have some productivity advantages.

It helps if i want to transfer large data between the two, or change which Mac i want to use my MIDI keyboard on without moving anything apart from a USB cable. I also can use my iMac for music and work on my MBP if i want to save battery, anything like that. Also, it looks nice :p

      Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
