Are the desk legs actually angled in the bottom picture or is it a weird perspective thing? If it’s on purpose, why?
Dunno but it makes sense, more space for your knees when you swivel close to the edge.
They’re not common at all, but I prefer a desk suspended from the ceiling with chains or whatever - complete and total freedom for the legs.
Feels like you’re wearing nothing at all?
aesthetics, i would guess. everyone has different tastes.
Bruhhh but my NFT’s will be mooning soon!
I keep getting caught off-guard seeing current photos of Torvalds. He’s just like…a guy.
And honestly I’d rather my mission-critical software be written by “just a guy” than by whoever Mr. Battlestation is down there on the bottom.
Mr. Battlestation that is running one GPU, but has the combined cooling to run a nuclear power plant
TBF, cooling is cheap, GPUs are expensive.
You have not priced those led fans recently…it adds up when you need 12+ of them (just why?). Assuming you actually use decent fans anyway and not some random no name garbage with a bushing instead of a bearing.
My buddy built one of these for somebody and his comment was ‘extra $500 so they could taste the rainbow’. So many led lights…
TBH I want to reduce the LED’s on mine because its in my bedroom and I can’t seem to figure out if there is a way to turn them all off so I can sleep better…
I’ve been using OpenRGB. Is like 5mb, and runs on everything. Stupid MB and GPU come with rbg…that allows me to turn them off. It doesn’t support everything but it’s worked for my needs so far.
As long as the fans/leds hook up to an arbg header they should be controllable.
Did you try turn of the computer? Maybe by a power strip with an on-off switch for it?
Cooling? You mean the spinning leds?
Don’t forget Subsurface.
But standing desks are awesome, I too would pick the top over the bottom setup
Never tried them, but I feel like I’d get tired after a couple minutes
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.
Its the treadmill.
The treadmill gives you infinite power.
“It really doesn’t look like much. And I have to say, the most interesting part in this picture, that people mostly react to, is the walking desk. It is the most interesting part in my office, and I’m not actually using it anymore.”

the desk walked away
No. It ran… Linux.
It probably still does.
But it used to run Linus.
Who are these people?
Olympic medalists from this past olympics. They both performed very well for different reasons, and were very popular because of their styles.
Most people are using the same tech as Yeji, but her form, grace, and relaxation made her stand out. And I’m absolutely furious for the other trash poster putting her down like that. She did all that while mothering a four year old ffs.
And she beat Linus’s ass, too.
I think it’s just a joke here because of their getups. I wasn’t under the impression she was getting flack - I thought she was great.
It’s spelled flak, not flack. It’s a German abbreviation from Flugabwehrkanone, which means aerial defense cannon.
Interesting! Thanks.
The dude is an ex officer and a former world record holder, a 4 time world champion in shooting, has been top 3 in 27 european and world championship competitions, and has been competing for over 2 decades now. He won silver at the last Olympics
The woman recently won Gold at the Olympics.
The joke is that she needed all that equipment and perfect form to beat a guy who literally walked on with a pack of ciggies and a tshirt and shot with both eyes open
My favorite part of this is how he subconsciously wiped the fingerprints off his gun when he was done
That’s be amazing if he also took it apart while walking away and dropped the pieces in different trash cans
full of blinking lights
DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN!
Shooting with both eyes open is actually easier, your whole face is relaxed, and relaxation is key to accurate shooting. At least that’s what I was taught in the military
If your other eye is closed in the military, you get snuck up on.
Thank you for the explanation! I never really watched the Olympics enough to see them firing guns. I would think all that high tech equipment counts as performance enhancement stuff which goes against the spirit of peak human based skill but maybe sports people who actually watch and run the Olympics think differently about external augmentations in some cases.
Its really funny with the context of some dude just chilling and vibing while casually firing off world record level shots
He is the odd one out. Most have special gear.
Are you fucking kidding me? Yeji had style, it’s nothing about random tech. Get the fuck out of here and leave our girl alone
He probably wasn’t trying that hard at all.
I highly doubt that’s true.
His shooting style is just more traditional while hers is more contemporary.
Both are amazing shooters and among the best in the world.

There was some old interview with Linus. He said that the first thing people usually notice about the setup is the standing desk (this was long ago, and he was a bit of a trendsetter). The second thing they notice is the wall colour. It’s used in mental hospitals. It has a calming effect on human mind.
TIL I have the same treadmill desk as Linus.
Edit: and he also appears to ignore the safety clip.
that’s a gamer/streamer, not a tech bruh
And the guys who invented UNIX did so by using toggle switches and teletypes…
Weird seeing Xokas in the wild, outside of Spanish communities
The computers get faster the code gets slower and tech bros slither into our DMs
