I didn't clean up as I wanted the world to see that not everything is perfect :). I clean up about once a week but I tought I'd break the mold here and show the "end-of-the-week" result.

This is my workstation for business, development and some gaming. The left side is for hobby projects.

(And yes that thermostat is reading 27.6C .. aircon is off, too much noise. Again sorry for bad quality .. this was taken with my Touch Dual)

Nice mouse. Unfortunately I think my MX1000 is on the way out... it's behaving really erratically which is especially annoying if I'm in the middle of TF2. It seems they only sell the Revolution now, though, which I don't like at all :(

I think I already posted in this thread, so here's a weird workstation picture:

Workstation is a big word .. also .. most of us do work at home (full time, parttime, just for fun, on ocasion)

Revolution is one of the best mouse they made (unless your an hardcore LAN gamer). I however dislike the fact by default you lose your middle click which I use a lot for tabs in IE. However my brother gave me a little hint which made me install the Logitech crapware software again. You can finetune the mousewheel.

By default it's a normal mousewheel. Click the wheel and it's an flywheel. Thus making you lose middlemouse.

However you can turn off the flywheel and just have normal wheel. (Or the other way around).

You can also set it on auto which is @^#*&^$ great. What it does .. it keeps your wheel on normal wheel setting, allows you to middle click and it doesn't switch to flywheel. However .. when scrolling fast (also fine-tuneable), it skips to flywheel making you scroll like hell. So when just on Neowin I scroll lightly to read the entire page. However on some topics or larger documents, I just hit the wheel and it skips to fly-wheel making me "fly" through the document. GREAT stuff.

Logitech software still stinks and the settings (as they require some time to set up/fine tune for me) aren't exporable. One reinstall / format and it's all gone :(

There are ways, just not native ways. Check out the Matrox Dual-Head to Go product. ;)

workstation would be your computer "area" your general area of where you sit at your computer.... and if you work underground like area 51?

if your remote control is older than you, it might be time for a new tv

If you are referring to the one on my desk, then that is a control for the stereo - which is indeed older than I am (was my Dads when he was younger, but its still running good).

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
