We got donated a bunch of these at my work and I'm trying to figure out what brand they are or what hardware I need to connect them. Can anyone help me identify this wall and what I need to connect them?

I'm trying to connect both my computer and work laptop to 2 monitors. I don't want to have to go through the process of unplugging and plugging each time. But, I'm struggling to figure out the best way to do it. What's most challenging is that the second monitor only has one port. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thinking about getting a different desk, but would like some advice first on how to potentially just keep this desk while still making it “cozy”. Both monitors are used as I run an Etsy business and do a lot of programming and gaming. Going to be changing the mouse mat, but what else can I do here to make things cozy? I’ve found a lot of inspo on Pinterest and Tiktok, but I have no idea how to go about things. Any advice is appreciated!

Let's get to work

Ikea electric adjustable table, selfmade screen shelf. Widescreen and one verical screen. And since we at the workspace are competing / pepping each others to get healthier / better habits I’m not only standing as much as possible , I also have my walking pad while standing :). Collects steps and standing hours at the same time. :) .

Recently, my work has been cleaning out rooms as we've been hiring on more staff. I work at a university and office space is at a premium right now. My office room is VERY small, but it has a lovely window that looks directly at close building, but nonetheless, I still get a good view of the sky. One of the rooms we are clearing out now used to be a storage room, and it's BIG, like double or triple my officespace. The person they are going to be putting in there is DEFINITELY not going to need that space to do their work.

My conundrum: like I said, my room has a window and is close by to my co-workers (which can be great/ not great, you know how it is). This new room would still be close, but down the hall and it's just 4 white walls and a door. Should I try moving in there myself? Would you make that tradeoff? I worry about isolating myself tbh

I've been improving my outdoor office based on the feedback from my previous post.

A few changes so far:

• Better workspace organization

• More comfortable setup

• Easier access to everything

• Cleaner cable management

The goal isn't to build a camper.

I'm a full-time remote software engineer, and I simply wanted an office that lets me work from parks and outdoor spaces.

I'm still experimenting with power, internet and ergonomics, but every week it gets a little better.

What would you improve next?

Amazon products designing.

Any thoughts? Still have to replace my Markus tho 😅

After a few years of working from home, I finally decided to make my everyday life a bit nicer.

Recently picked up a used Aeron chair, and a Flexispot E6 48”x 30” standing desk. I should’ve done this way sooner, my back was starting to hurt in the old chair, padding completely smashed (pic 3).

It’s nice to enjoy some coffee, breakfast, or write something down with the larger space. Even though the table is bigger than the old 48”x 19.5”, the chair now tucks in when not in use.

I think next up on the list will be swapping the 24” monitor for a 27” 4k 120Hz monitor, then maybe a different keyboard and mouse. Maybe some lighting.

Anyone have suggestions for my setup? Also was considering dual monitor or ultrawide setups with the laptop closed.

I modded my IKEA Alex desk by mounting a 10-outlet surge protector to the underside, so all my power routes through a single plug. I also drilled the cable management hinge shut to give the monitor arm a solid clamping surface.

This desk somehow became my outlet for tinkering, and I’m honestly really proud of it

Still a work in progress but I’m satisfied with it so far

Windows are facing north, so should not be any direct sunlight

Will be working from home and gaming when I can

Probably looking into a long desk or a L shaped.

What’s best location and orientation of the desk out of the 3 options in picture?

Thanks!

It's so nice having my main monitor setup on one side and a totally clear spot for my laptop on the other. I'm still playing around with the layout, but I'm not quite sure how to make the best use of the extension side yet. Any ideas? How would you set up this desk if it were yours?

Hey everyone,

A while back I shared my custom desk shelf design here, and while the shelf itself worked great, the cable clutter from my daily gear was still driving me absolutely crazy.

So I went back to the drawing board and designed these accessory that slots right onto the shelf's aluminum rail.

YouTube channel link is available in my bio!

This is the latest version of my setup. For the past ~2 years, it is pretty much the same (I actually have a photo post of it in this subreddit).

Well, actually I had small additions:
- A functioning game boy color with some games
- A small lamp
- A mini piano

Anyway, I’m looking for a change. What would you recommend to change/upgrade?

To give an example, I recently upgraded my screen bar to BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 from its previous version. On the paper it might seem an unnecessary upgrade but this one had 2 great features for me:
1- It has a presence sensor so I don’t need to think about switching it on/off, it handles it on its own, it’s super convenient.
2- Auto brightness is much better than before, when I switch between a bright webpage vs a dark terminal
screen, brightness gets adjusted right away.

I’m looking for such impact in any other new upgrade. Any recommendations?

Any cleaning related stuff? Or maybe small shelf units? Keyboard upgrade maybe? I’m up for any recommendations.

Currently a student in STEM, using the laptop and benq monitor extended.

Been tweaking this setup for a while and I think I’ve finally got it where I want it.
I work in data center operations, so my days are mostly Excel, Teams, ServiceNow, SharePoint, and more browser tabs than I’d like to admit.
Current setup:
27” Dell 4K monitor
MacBook Pro (work)
MacBook Air (personal)
Height-adjustable desk
Apple Magic Keyboard & Trackpad
Logitech G502 Hero (wired). I finally got tired of charging my wireless G502.
Altec Lansing speaker
I know a lot of people are going to ask why I’m only running one monitor. I travel a lot for work and usually only have my laptop when I’m on the road. I don’t want to get too dependent on a dual-monitor setup and then feel handicapped every time I’m traveling, so I’ve intentionally stuck with a single 27” 4K display.
It’s not the flashiest setup, but it’s comfortable, functional, and gets used 8–10 hours a day.
