3 monitors running on the same machine, makes work easier!

That's what I thought at first, but then I saw three task bars. Is that something in Windows 7 only? I still have XP until I decide to install my copy of 7.

any ideas what I can do to get those wires to look nicer? I mean, one is my headphones, and I can't do anything about that, but the rest...

Used to have a crammed desk that limited the size of my monitor and keyboard. Got a simple $69 desk from IKEA two days ago, and...

Much better. My PC can go on the floor should I replace my monitor with a larger one.

Buy a special wire management thingy that IKEA for example makes, here's one in action:

I had to figure out something myself since IKEA doesn't have a store in Estonia, so I just used a towel holder that I found in the bathroom department at a hardware store to achieve the same result. Turned out perfect I think and was a lot cheaper probably as well (towel holder was ~$2). Oh and zip-ties are your friend ;)

No I use Ultramon to give each monitor its own taskbar, otherwise the main screens taskbar gets far too crowded.

Here is my updated setup. Images are a bit grainy since all the lights were off. The only things missing from this are my MacBook Pro and a USB hub I got for xmas. Aside from that everything there is the same save for the new HP 21.5" Anamorphic 1080p monitor with HDMI, PS3 Slim, LBP and AC2 (have it for 360 already though).

It breaks my heart to see these poor guys who are unable to outfit their equipment with a proper desk or the room space necessary to keep it all from being crammed in a corner like Halloween decorations. I am so incredibly grateful for the 2300 square feet under my roof and the options to put my stuff practically wherever I want.

:\ 2300 sq. ft maybe big for some, but for my family of 3, having so much crap, it would be small. It's always nice to have a "computer room"

Ahh, the ones that you made are the ones I like. I didn't even notice the star trek one.

LOL :p. They are on my deviantart, but I don't know if DevArt prints them like that. FYI - The lower one is a game ratings poster which says YOU ARE IN CONTROL. It is directed at parents who have trouble understanding that the games aren't responsible, THEY are.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
