I'll give this a go :D

Although nothing impressive at the moment :(. This is my Uni room where I'm stuck for a few more months. Sorry about the picture quality, took them on the iPhone... got no batteries for my camera :D

Hope they scale OK on here. Ideally... I want to add another monitor, get a new keyboard and mouse (I'm tempted wireless for both, but I find wireless isn't that responsive for gaming) and also a new PC case to shush it a little bit.

Ah the godawful V+ HD box, i hate mine constantly locking/freezing/taking ages to change channels....

Haha! It is absolutely terrible!! Mine ALWAYS locks up at 12am daily, and is so slow when compared with Sky boxes. I long for a Sky+ HD box... but that's coming in September when I move to a new student house :D

Fredrik != the Jerker

The Jerker is much more stable and larger :)

Wow, I like the way you mounted your displays, what are you using?

The mounts are from www.monoprice.com: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....=1&format=2

$11.39(ea) when you buy 2-9. :)

Terrible cellphone camera shot of my home office. Nothing notable on the other walls, one has a futon; to the right of my desk is a stackable drawer unit with my switch/modem/stereo on top. Shelving to come soon, trying to decide on a way to make it look decent. Same with a new desk, probably going to go with something wooden instead of glass - it's impossible to keep this thing clean. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a shot of my cube at work.

cool. Did the brackets for the mount fit in the pre-existing holes on the Jerker?

You're right. It's an eSATA/USB2 drive dock from Vantec.

I also noticed they've got a dual slot version:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817392028

Comes in handy quite often, I use the bunch of internal drives I've got (like 4 160gb drives, a couple 120's and a 200gig) like removable storage drives. Hot swappable and works with any PC with USB2 (though I use eSATA on mine, works seemlessly - as fast as an internal drive). If you've got a bunch of drives taking up space/generating heat/making noise I'd recommend it. I've got a single 1tb drive at the moment (going to buy another one in a few weeks) and I love it.

How can you have to taskbars, in windows 7? It does not support Ultramon, does it?

I'm also running with 2 monitors - but will not install windows 7 because of the lacking support for dual-monitors - or the earlier lack of support :)

I'm using the Display Fusion beta. :)

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
