Inspired by @Orinoco’s post:

What's the last bit of tech you bought?

[image] Typical working setup. Split panel terminal, code editor, database, 3x browser, and F1 on to boot. Looks like a lot but having used 2 and 3 monitors for years, this is by far the most productive setup I’ve had. When I’m focussed (not with F1 on) I can work for hours without having to switch between any apps at all, they’re all just there. Might be an ADHD thing but having to switch apps all the time just really grates on me and it can be really difficult to analyse output between code,…

Does anyone else want to post their desk setup?

Mine needs some work, and I’m considering replacing the two 27" monitors with an LG Dualup.

The way I have it setup:

The two 27" monitors are connected to my Windows rig (which is aging and will be changed soon) which I use mainly for songwriting/music production.

The MacBook is a work one - This is an old picture so that’s actually my Twitter one in the photo, but when we sold Sphere we were allowed to buy our Sphere laptops at a discounted rate so I use that for the freelancing/consulting stuff I’ve been doing since.

The ultrawide is on an HDMI switcher and connected to both machines. So when I have it on the Windows rig, I use the central monitor for the audio timeline when I’m working on music, the Ultrawide for the faders / virtual mixing desk (most of my songs have 40 tracks, my productions tend to be heavily layered) and the left monitor has open plugins.

I would post mine but it is absolutely woeful in comparison. 2 of the cheapest monitors going (first one I bought in panic the day lockdown was announced - very glad I did though!)
