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 TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
