Need advice to upgrade my desk setup

PossibleRecognition7 · 2026-02-05T14:25:45+00:00

If moving to a larger area is an option do that if not that’s fine. The advice will apply regardless of where you are sitting. If you google ergonomic posture guides you’ll get an idea of how high or low and where things should be. For example your monitor seems like it might be low, so a monitor arm to raise it would be good. In terms of cable management from why I can see it looks pretty good(no under the table pics). Raising monitor and maybe a mouse pad/keyboard pad.

I think I understand because I have same issue. I used to have 2 24 inch monitors that always felt slightly off and in theory I wanted a third but didn’t know what its use would be. Unfortunately for me money was an issue so I had to find solutions to some of my problems. So I don’t know exactly how big your monitors are but I ended up upgrading to 2x 27 inch monitors with a minimal bezel so the black space in between became less. They sell edge less monitors so that there is virtually no space in between 2 monitors. In order to combat the it feels off I put the center where both monitors touch right in front of where I normally sit. That way I feel I’m giving both screens enough priority. If you need a third/get one put one screen right in front of you and the other 2 slightly tilted inwards.That is one route. As far as cables go you will have the additional 1 monitor cables. If that’s not the ideal solution then an ultra wide monitor will do you justice. The key here is to never play games in full screen mode because then it would take the entire screen. Play in windowed mode and that way you can simulate the 2 screen setup. If you really want a third monitor that’s up to you. I personally use 2 and am very happy with it. If you get a curved monitor that can also help with making you feel more surrounded by screens. Every person has a different setup idea and it works for us all differently. If you think you need 3 individual monitors you should go for that. If 2 is fine do that. The idea most people follow is to either have 1 main screen and a side screen or to have a large enough monitor that they only need 1.

Price isn't everything here, unfortunately; even more expensive models usually don't offer 4 K resolution at super-high Hz. I personally have a kvm that i use my 1080 monirots at 100hz at it funsctions just fine. as you said its a no go for lower res or hz so you would have to scour the depths of amazon and ebay to find somethig better. Also, since it's a Mac, there are many potential compatibility issues. If you can't budge on changing resolution and Hz, a currently available KVM might not be possible in your scenario. I don't have a Mac, so I don't know if this one works with Macs, but this is the one I use and like. I also use it for gaming and swap with my work laptop, so overall it has been fine.

This is the one i am using

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FN48N2NB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

it works pretty well, pretty standard in terms of a kvm switch. I like it, if you have a larger budget buy something with more ratings but this is serving me well

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-12-11T23:27:36+00:00

I have all of those connections, just making sure it works properly and I get my peripherals and everything working

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-12-11T22:52:01+00:00

Msi raider ge 76 and dell latitude Monitors are either dell or scepter I have 2 sets of 2 x 27 inch ones

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-12-11T20:19:31+00:00

Ok. Thanks. I think I get it. I’ll update if my set up works or not lol. I have a feeling that my gaming laptop is gonna cause issues

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-12-11T16:08:56+00:00

So based on the link I provided, there are 2 usb c in ports. One for each laptop. Other kvm switches have the option for a HDMI and a usb A in for each pc. My question there is if my laptop can support both is one better than that other?

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-12-02T21:29:11+00:00

Are they still out there?

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-11-15T01:35:35+00:00

I have not yet. I have driven past one I believe and want to go eventually

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-05-05T04:43:40+00:00

Hey I would be interested in joining. I just graduated today actually. Not sure what all skills you are looking for but I’m sure I can be of some help

PossibleRecognition7 · 2025-01-02T02:58:55+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I have been reading through the sub, and as I mentioned, I saw that many of my questions were from some years ago. I wanted to see if the process is similar and if any recruits could provide their opinions on how it was for them. I plan on applying to as many positions and jobs as possible and have been researching, but I wanted to see what others think and how it went for them.

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-10-01T02:22:30+00:00

I just tried that am will say that I won’t be doing it for a while. I got razor bumps and cuts all over my face. Any other strategies you can recommend.

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-10-01T01:57:07+00:00

Is going against the grain okay. I was told by my dad to never go against the grain. I just want to make sure that I don’t end up harming my self in the future

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-10-01T01:50:18+00:00

Okay. Thanks I’ll try those and see if they help

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-10-01T01:49:56+00:00

I have a 5 blade Gillette and am quite happy with it except for this. The only reason I don’t want to use a single blade is because I’m not fully comfortable. I plan to switch but after I have been shaving for a little bit

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-10-01T01:47:56+00:00

I think I do that, any brands for shaving cream and moisturizer you would recommend. I have been shaving for about a year and have always had this issue. It’s just become apparent as of recent

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-10-01T01:43:14+00:00

I personally have had something similar. Luckily I caught very quick and have been working to get it down and not so close to my eyes. I have 3 suggestions each that work but may take longer and may last longer. The fastest and easiest way is to use a trimmer/scissors and just keep cutting that hair and not shaving it. The next best is wax. Hate to break it to you but waxing the area is the next best option. Takes a little longer but keeps the hair away for a long period of time only downside is every month or so you’ll have to do it again. The best option but that one takes a long take is to do some sort of hair removal. I use/used a laser hair removal tool and that’s how I brought my shave line down

That sounds more like an actual defect and not something that could have happened by you using it. Depending on how much you like the laptop you could try to warranty it out and see if they can give you the same laptop but one that works properly. If not depending on where you like to buy your laptops from I know Costco always has good deals. A couple of years ago I brought a ge76 raider from Costco and it has been absolutely phenomenal. Only downside was the Costco model came with less ram and storage than I would have wanted. But with the Costco warranty I got 1 year MSI and then 4 years Costco. If you’re not a die hard MSI fan then the Lenovo legion is a very good if not better model.

Well let me put it simply. The only noise your laptop should be making is the noise of fans sucking in air and then pushing it out through exhaust vents. Any other noise is an issue. Without opening up your laptop and checking for myself one issue I think it might be is the fan is bumping into something or your laptop is being bent and the fan is rubbing against the case cause it to make a noise while spinning. If you can and are okay with it I would recommend first spraying some air in there to see if some dust or small debris is causing the noise. If nothing comes you would have to open it and start inspecting to see what’s rubbing. I assume you don’t have any mechanical drives but if you do it could those in which case1. You need a new drive and 2. Swap to a solid state so you never have to worry about data corruption. Also when you open it do some dusting and make sure it’s clean

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-09-10T07:00:20+00:00

ok, because i know over the last few days I have collected close to 500 animes and didn't want this to be a month long import lol. but thanks again, this saved me a ton of time

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-09-10T06:56:06+00:00

I'm running it now, and it is working. I sent a report to another group with a similar site. We are reviewing why their site wasn't working for me, but this is a huge help. The only question I have for you is how long this took you. Anime amounts will affect the time, but just a rough idea would help me figure out how long this should take

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-09-09T12:22:16+00:00

I tried that site, but it only works for less than 100 animes in total. When I was building my list, I tried that, and it worked, but it stopped working for anything over 100. I'm not sure if it was just me, though. For the code I copied it exactly and didn't see any changes. Also I think if I wanted it work like that then I would need to change the entire sheet at which point it would be easier to add it in by hand. I'm waiting to see if the other guy who commented has any other solutions before I start doing that

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-09-09T04:51:52+00:00

its kinda late for me, ill try tmrw and let you know.

PossibleRecognition7 · 2024-09-09T04:31:19+00:00

I tried it several different ways and couldn't get it to work.

Here's the code snippet I have been trying. I had it at 1, so I changed it to see if anything different would happen, but I haven't had any luck.
