Kira-Kun: You should get a KVM for that setup. Save on desk space. I am getting one in around a month when I will have 3 machines running in my setup, but you can also get 2 port KVM's.

Ha Ha, Year, I really should, but those things are so damn expensive for my budget right now. I will keep that in mind, thanks!

:yes: Nice set up quick

Hows it like reading text say on Neowin from where you sit?

Thanks, the text is pretty easy to read I'm sitting about 9 feet or maybe less from the TV, and I can read regular windows font size no prob, i did bump up my font size in firefox though. The camera is set to wide zoom looks farther then it really is. The resolution is set to 1280 x 720 so that doesn't hurt either.

^^ what's that thing under your mouse?

HAHA, it's a cheapo black mouse pad.. the table is not smooth so if i used it on the table is would eat up the bottom of the mouse fast.

But mainly i have a 1.5' x 1.5' piece of glass from a table top, that i actually set on the couch seat right next to me (couch has indents so its not flat) and i use the mouse with the pad on there, much more comfortable to sit back on the couch rather then lean forward on the table.

Whitster where did you get that Keyboard/ Whats the name of it?

Its a Packard Bell PC. I actually got it from eBay. But I orginally saw it in PC World (Computer shop in the UK). But it was ?40 in there so there was no chance I was paying that.

Not sure of the name because I dont have the box anymore.

haha, nice Dazzla, i have the same dumbells as you :p

Same here :laugh:

Only problem is I need more weights for them, I went and bought myself the ez bar and tricep bar too and once you've put all the weight on them there's really not enough there.

Bet I can bicep curl more than both of you :p :shiftyninja:

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
