The good old times (2002). Apple Cube and 2 x NeXTstation.
Those old screens are a real blast from the past. I sure don't miss lifting them! So heavy. Remember the Apple 21" CRT was something like 35kg! And had amazing 1600x1200 resolution.
Don't miss CRTs at all.Those old screens are a real blast from the past. I sure don't miss lifting them! So heavy. Remember the Apple 21" CRT was something like 35kg! And had amazing 1600x1200 resolution.
I don't miss them either, but that's because I have two right in front of me I can use at any time. I just can't go back to the 60 Hz life, it's to the point I'm completely dismissing the MacBook Air line entirely for it.
Is that that the white MX keys mini or some sort of gray colorway? Can’t tell based on the lighting, but love the look. Agreed - excellent keyboard!
60hz on a CRT was murder. I tried to always have monitors that could handle 85hz or higher. 60hz caused awful flickering that drove me nuts. At least on an LCD, 60hz is rock solid, it just isn't as smooth.
Yeah, 60 is usable on an LCD but I really don't like it either, it's visually choppy to my eyes. Since I can drive mine at 1600x1200 and 1152x864 respectively set to 75 Hz, that's what I tend to do, bumping it down for games because they look just fine at lower resolutions and the higher refresh rates are better than more pixels.
New place, new setup.
Treated myself to a standup desk after 12 years of the same white ikea desk.

I like that desk, looks like very nice quality, and the colour is welcoming, too!
What size iPad is that? Looks wider than mine...
Thank you 😊 it’s the 11” second latest one (right before they came out with oled)
Hey, if you're referring to my post, its an external drive that sits on the Mac backpack from Twelve South.
Is the picture already the standing position of your desk? If not it's quite hard to imagine how you can put that up in a standing position with a display that close to the sloping roof.
Yes it's already in a standing position haha. I was doing some work before taking the picture and forgot to lower it.
My desk. Will be replacing the current iMac with a Mac Studio once the M4 is available.
Could you please share what mat this is? I've been looking for something alike for my own desk. Thanks
How well does the wool felt deskpad wear? I had one from GroveMade that pretty much shredded after a few months of usage... it seems that I could not withstand the mouse movement, and the fabric started balling up and getting "stringy". I had to toss it in favor of the leather versions.
