Here's my workstation setup. I like large desk surfaces, so I just used a 10' countertop slab from Home Depot. :blush: The "monitor" is a 32-inch 1080p Sharp TV, which works surprisingly well for both games and work (I'm an aging Software Engineer, so the larger fonts in Visual Studio on a 32" screen are wonderful). :laugh:

It's a bit of a mess compared to other setups here, but it gets the job done. LOL. I could probably use a KVM and better cable management, too.

No offense intended but that wallpaper looks like it was designed for a 7 year old. So does the bedspread. If you're that young, please don't take offense. But if you're older than that, hello Jeffrey Dahmer!

Nice range of PCs, though!

Yeah, I know. The room was designed when I was probably about 10, and now I'm 22. I've been meaning to redo it for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it.

calendar is a bit off.

Like the above, I haven't gotten around to getting a new one yet, and I probably won't. Heh.

The only thing I can imagine is that it'd be a hell to wake up in such room with a hangover.

I have that same keyboard and I do game with it :p

As do I :p

that's the wired version right? Do you play FPS's? If you do, did you just change the "W" key from being move forward because when I had the wired version for all of one day, the keyboard wouldn't do W + Shift + Space Bar at the same time. It's a known defect with those things. So in FPS', no running and jumping until you change the controls. I bought the wireless version which doesn't have that problem.

Chucked in a 3rd screen, got the Macbook hooked up to the 1st display. My main windows box on the 2nd monitor and a old machine running Ubuntu 11.04 as a web server and to view Facebook...

All controlled through one keyboard and mouse using Synergy, SynergyKM (Mac), QSynergy (Windows) and Quick Synergy (Ubuntu). Setting up and using TeamViewer, TightVNC, XAMPP and Hamachi to communicate these 3 machines with a friend to develop some PHP has been a challenge, but a fun one nonetheless :)

I really hate wireless keyboards. The only use for them are HTPCs. I hate having batteries to mess with. LOL.

Any serious gamer would stay wired... totally not cool to change your batteries in the middle of a fragfest or an epic raid on a big monster in an MMO.... happened to me once!!!!!

I want one of those awesome Logitech ones with the LCD screen on them.

I have an HP media center pc that needs the KB batteries replaced once a week. LOL. I had a MS KB that was the same.

I used the MS KB when I played WoW back in nov 2009. had to replace them in the middle of a huge raid.... not cool LOL.

it's worse when it happened in a much harder MMO called tibia (old school snes styled one) and I died and lost a lot of loot!

but yeah I really want that awesome logitech KB though still.

I've heard more people with that same issue. There are no issues like that on my side when I play FPS's. I did have issues with the wireless version though. Logitech sent me the wired version as a fix as I didn't want to have a 2nd wireless version which could have the same issues.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
