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

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
