My 32" takes up a lot of the desk. I could probably fit a vertical monitor but I would need to move some stuff around. To be honest, I really enjoy having a clean and tidy desk, hence why going upwards rather than sideways is appealing.
I also like having the MacBook open, as I need to be able to use the fingerprint reader. In clamshell mode, I will need to keep typing in my password.
Nice setup. What are those game controllers? I don’t recognise them.
Google Stadia ones
Ahhh. I never tried Stadia. Guessing the controllers still work without the service.
You definitely have room for an ultra wide. Do it! You won’t go back!
I had an ultrawide previously and sold it to buy this one, funnily enough. I play the PS5 a fair bit and didn’t like the spaces on the left and right with the ultrawide when gaming.
I do miss ultrawide but couldn’t go back now.
You are right though, it would fit.
It was an old shot I posted, taken when Stadia was still alive. Since being shuttered, the controllers do work in Bluetooth mode.
And I love 'em. Best controller ever made.
The cleanliness of this setup is chefs kiss
And that wasn’t even staged… I try to keep the whole house very tidy, and everything all aligned and symmetric. I’m actually starting to think I might have a problem…
Sadly, my partner is the opposite. He just leaves things in random places and throws stuff down. It drives me wild. How can people do that.
He’s probably thinking exactly the same about you! 
Stretching the boundaries of what’s “Tech” - liked this so much bought two as my stepson decided he wanted one of them after trying mine
Anda Seat Luna - Sort of bottom end of their offerings, but exceptional comfort so far and actually better than my Herman Miller Mirra that I’ve had for a while now.
Yes, I know that other offerings exist, but everyone has a budget and at under £200 this one suits me just fine.
Looks like a nice seat and I’ve been looking at these myself as need a new chair for the home office
What do you mean you didn’t spend £1,500 on a Herman Miller Aeron? 
One of the biggest advantages of our office going fully remote! Took the chair with me (which I was asked to do) and when I left a year later - they said I could keep it as they didn’t have an office to send it back to*
*Can’t bear myself to part with it, since they’re blooming expensive
Do the water flossers really work?
I recently took the plunge into an electric toothbrush and feel the results but I feel water flossers are a novelty.
Let us know what your first thoughts are 
They work (not as effective), but they’re every bit as messy and gross as old fashioned flossing.
It’s 2024. I don’t know how teeth tech innovation hasn’t solved the flossing problem yet.
Floss picks are probably the best least gross and least messy approach to flossing.
I can’t do regular floss, and find floss picks challenging, too – either too wide to properly fit or I just can’t work out how to contort my hand to fit it into the gaps between my back teeth.
So I have just bought an Ordo water flosser. I hope that’ll help me get into the habit.
They work very well, but stopped using mine because they are a bit of a nightmare to keep clean.
Obviously you don’t want to be squirting bacteria in your mouth and any damp surface is going to be a breeding ground. I got a bit obsessed with trying to keep mine bacteria free and dry before sort of giving up and just using regular floss, which I think works fine tbh. Water flossers are better for sensitive gums I think (?) if you are happy to maintain them.
It does feel kind of of odd and it is messy, you kind of have to lean over the sink and try and keep your mouth closed so that the water kind of just comes out of one side. But like @ndrw I can’t get regular floss between some of my teeth effectively and I really dislike the way it feels. in that regard the water flosser is a much better bet.
The Ordo claims to have an anti bacterial coating on some of the parts to prevent any build ups and they recommend in the manual running it through with a table spoon of vinegar diluted in a full tank of water.
Finding the silicone scrubber bit on the toothbrush head a bit weird to use to be honest. going to take some getting used to. Otherwise I like the brush, seems way quieter than my Philips one and I prefer the charging case…
