Lol, compared to what a troubling number of rich idiots will pay for speaker wire or headphone cables, $30 for a braided USB dealie is a mouse's fart in a hurricane. It's more than I'd pay, sure, but it's also not 'lol expensive.'

Wasabi the J posted:http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S99022526/ I'm sure the nextdesk people create good products and whatnot, but I was thinking the same thing yesterday. Looking at their website, it has all the bravado of a start-up and/or hipster cafe, where everything is artisanal, hand-crafted, premium, patent-pending, innovative technology; cf. the "Artisan Bar" of "precisely bent" aluminium or a lot of products that look remarkably similar to Ergotron stuff, just with grander sounding names, let alone the "SecondStance™ anti-fatigue standing mat", which is, of course, "backed by science".

I finally replaced all my monitors at once, so they're not all different sizes and heights. The rightmost monitor is connected to both the Windows desktop (Pancake) and the OSX laptop (Quesadilla) via different inputs, so I can either do two screens for the PC plus one screen for the Mac, or have all three screens for the PC for widescreen gaming.

Haven't even tried, but I'm not sure that it would help me here in any case – I don't need to have another computer use my MacBook's built in screen, and the external monitor has multiple inputs anyway, so it's not hard to toggle between sources on the on-screen menu. The bigger pain is that apparently nVidia's surround has no memory of monitor arrangement, so every single time I toggle it on or off I have to rearrange the displays in the settings.

We have these at work and they are perfectly adequate sit/stand desks. Honestly, if you're not moving them up and down several times a day you could save some money and just get a manual one instead.

Don't get the ones with the touchscreen controls - they're twitchy as hell and if you walk past them you risk the desk deciding to go 'OKAY LETS GO ALL THE WAY UP/DOWN!' and dump your poo poo all over the floor.

I ended up keeping it because I was poor and it still worked, though really slowly. I didn't learn until I replaced it that it was one of the first in-car MP3cd players on the market, made all the way back in 2000. Surprised the little bastard worked at all. e: drat, looking at this made me realize how old I am

HalloKitty posted:drat, got my hopes up. Looks like a Philips. Aiwa makes me all nostalgic. Yeah, some Philips stereo I got a decade and a half ago but it still works so why change it? It's just got an RCA line in so I just connect that to the mixer out, which is again way more than I need for the sole purpose of letting two computers use the same speakers at the same time, but it was cheap and it works. Since I'm already being teased for overzealous diagramming of simple concepts, I may as well double down:

The bad thing about that isn't that you made a diagramm, but that the cabling on that diagramm ist still such a mess that it's not very functional.

The "every layer visible" export there is a mess – it's much easier to read if I turn off the Power layer especially – but I did actually use the diagram to figure out where to bundle and route my cables.

GreatGreen posted:And isn't PS/2 actually still better for keyboards anyway, in that it supports more simultaneous key presses? It's such a non-issue in TYOOL 2016; plenty of USB keyboards have some version of n-key rollover, which typically allow greater than 10 key presses simultaneously; unless you're doing some kung-fu poo poo with your fingers or smashing two keys with every finger, it's not gonna matter. The other poo poo like buffers and latency are dumb.
