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:

I thought this thread was to post our "workstations" as in from work? I work underground so nothing to do with IT so cant take photos but everyone just seem sto be taking photos of there home setups. Unless I was mistaking of the thread title?

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).

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
