    Torvalds could assemble a system by collecting old outdated electronic junk from a trash heap and make it work

    Tech Bro needs to convince million dollar investors (or his wealthy parents) to finance his latest setup in order to install the latest Windows or Mac OS … without money to buy new shiny things and proprietary software, he’s totally lost

    I got a hydraulic mechanical standing desk (smaller area), but I also worked with two old nightstands stacked on top of each other, with a larger chipboard board on top for which I did the edge banding.

    I remember trying to use one edition of MSDN (MicroSloth Developer Network if I recall correctly) on my laptop a few years ago. Whoever had developed the UI for it had been using a giant monitor because on a small laptop screen the article contents in the right-hand detail panel didn’t word-wrap correctly, so reading the article required constant scrolling left-and-right with the horizontal scroll bar (which sometimes didn’t even show up). For six months I just got in the habit of copying-and-pasting the contents into a simple text editor so that I could actually read the shit normally.

    I’ve long advocated making developers use the shittiest equipment and no extra monitors, just to ensure that what we build actually works on most machines. I’m not a monster: the money saved could be used to give developers ACTUAL FUCKING OFFICES.

      There are browser tools to emulate different devices.

      It’s two button clicks to test layouts. Just laziness or lack of ability.

      That’s why you should always test on a variety of screen sizes including mobile. That however doesn’t mean you should make your devs work on terrible machines. Then you end up in situations where it dosen’t scale correctly. It’s also terrible for developer productivity, many of whom don’t even work on the front end. I don’t think the cost of PCs is anywhere near that of offices, and I suspect the reason for not having offices isn’t monetary anyway.

    Christ on a stick! As someone who builds computers for fun all I see is fan control modules and cables. So many cables. Cables as far as the eye can see!

        And when he loses his job to a more skilled person, even if who is also a white cishet guy, will cry about DEI, and will start a career in the same echochamber as Brian Lunduke.

    Are the desk legs actually angled in the bottom picture or is it a weird perspective thing? If it’s on purpose, why?

        The idea (at least from what I’m getting) is to be able to switch posture throughout the day, not to stand up the whole day. I’ve tried one for a couple of days and it seems nice, I just haven’t gotten around buying one for home yet.

        Worse. He’s a nazi scumbag that poses as a neurodivergent victim in need of therapy and tolerance whenever his hate speech backfires. He’s also been caught redhanded using fake accounts to hound and harass people he dislikes. He’s not related to tech in any way and isn’t an expert in any field. Just your average toxic streamer making as much noise as he can.

            He does have the looks, huh? Too many people lately prefer to believe whatever requires the least effort from them. It goes something like: “Hey, that person’s being openly sexist!” - “Hold on, they can’t be sexist. Their mother is a woman!” - “Oh, thank heavens! For a moment there I was about to get really mad at them. I could’ve done something awful like blocking them on social media!”

    Needs a gamer chair to prove that he’s a gamer. A gamer games 45% better with a gamer chair. That’s why they’re shaped 45% differently. Without a gamer chair, a gamer does not truly game. But it’s very important that they see it.

      I feel attacked. For real though I actually do own a Secret Lab Titan and it is the most comfortable computer chair I’ve used. I bought one for home when our whole office was working remotely during COVID and liked it so much I bought a second one for the office, before I knew our company would purchase chairs like that. 🙃 I had assumed it was too expensive since until that point we just had shitty Staples chairs.

      Ergonomics are pretty subjective though. I know people who use those big balls as a “chair” and people who swore by the kneeling chairs. Tried both and hated them.

      With that lighting he’s definitely streaming, so there is one party involved that’s even more interested in people seeing his chair. I wonder if the companies making these abominations even gift them to streamers.
