Problem solved.
82
I have 7 screens and a dead orchid...
It's replacement is due to arrive today.. Yeah, the lego one!
12
Just finished building mine it’s so pretty

You play eve online??
81
I do not.
20
Yet. Its a strongly contested debate, does Eve or the excess monitors come first. Chicken and egg sort of deal.

Does eve or libre office calc come first? Hmm...

I was about to say that’s one hell of a bubble set up!

“You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.”

I've thought about it, and I'm certain that the be wizard SHOULD.
5
It does look impressive, but you do know you can have more than one window open on the same monitor right?
58
Wat?
25
They're saying you could have 9 wide screen monitors.
48
curved ones and that could almost be a 360 view
13
The thought of this existing... surely someone somewhere has done such a thing!!

There are also these things called wide monitors.
14
Put the orchid in a pot specifically for orchids and use orchid bark and orchid specific food. Their roots need air.
27
They also like to "soak" for 15 minutes for watering. I do mine once a week or once every two weeks (if I forget). You just need to make sure that they live in a removable inner pot that way you can drain the water and not have them sitting in water for the whole week.
13
I've never heard of that. I'll check that kind of pot out!
7
One of it's roots is sticking straight up. Plenty of air on that one.

The real LPT is in the comments
1
But...why?
25
I don't understand.
9†
Why do you have this wild setup?
6
Because they want it. Stop asking such an inane question. It’s in every post where someone has something other than an IKEA ad.
Just stop asking it. It’s stupid. The answer is, always will be, and always has been the same.
-23
Yeah no shit it’s because they like it, Einstein. The insinuated question, champ, is what do they like about it? How do they use it to get the satisfaction out of it etc.
“bEcAusE tHeY LiKe iT!” doesn’t help anything.
17
Ok let me rephrase it so your brain can get it this time:
“Can we ask OP why he need such a massive setup so we can understand the benefit he has and maybe, maybe we can find a use for ourselves too”
You got it now? The reason why people asks “why” in similar situation is to understand d the context, the benefit, and for learning new things.
0
The real answer is why not.
3
This is a huge setup and perhaps impressive BUT why? This is entirely unnecessary for just about any typical application. That said, there may be applications this is actually appropriate and useful...So I ask why? What is the application here?
2
The use case for ALL of these at once is embedded development. Schematic and PCB layout for 2+ boards, datasheets, software, reference docs, 3d models for a case etc. Adds up real quick, and when everything depends on everything else having it all visible at once is a great experience.
11
I received what I hoped for and expected, a logical and relevant answer that satisfied my question...and for that...I thank you, my good sir. ;)
Cheers :)

I feel bad for all the photos on the wall
21
Thank you for noticing this lol
7
please tell me you have a matrix code screensaver

When youre finished, type in your name.

Market trader working from home?
6
Traders at my work don’t even have 8. We’ve actually gone bigger real estate and less monitors. It kind of looked ridiculous now looking back

Really? Got any pics?
I was quite curious as to what GPUs those PCs had to drive 8 screens. Maybe one of those legendary Matrox cards?
1
I'd expect it's multiple cards.
1
Very nice!
I have a similar setup , but it's made up of recovered e-waste monitors.
I need the real estate because I have poor enterprise memory. Out of sight, out of mind. If I close my email or slack tho work on something else, I could go for hours without checking on messages.
5
“Enterprise memory”… I’ve never heard this term before and googling doesn’t yield much. Care to elaborate? I can extrapolate what you mean, but I want to know if the phrase comes from something.
6
Oops. The term is actually Working Memory. How'd I forget that?!
12
Ironic amirite lol
8
I'm the same way.
2
Dude living in an apartment complex if you keep your eye out people throw away working stuff all the time.
I got a 32in tv for free once that just needed a remote, replacement was $8, totally works great

OHMYGOD. Someone other than me owns a Jawbone?! I legit thought I was the only one left 😂

Me, too! Big Jambox Pairing.

waiting for device to connect

Do you have to EQ the shit out of yours to make it sound good, too? Waaayyy too much bass.
1
So, I bought one of these a decade ago. Best speaker I ever owned. Perfectly setup for my taste. ( which Ik is just lucky ) I mostly listen to metalcore
The poor guy finally was beyond recognition about 2 years ago. Missing half its buttons, blown out. Dents all over. I ABUSED that thing and it still turns on and works lol
I found a grey one just like yours on Amazon. Brand new. It sucks in comparison. The mix is awful, every time I increase the volume the bass fluctuates and like goes out. It’s highly irritating. I still use it all the time but it’s not my go to anymore.
Did you have any luck plugging it into your pc adjusting it? I just got a pc so I was gonna try
3
I use voicemeeter for the live eq, works great 👍

Thanks dude!

Are you using Electric Sheep for your screensaver/background?
5
Does Electric Sheep even work anymore? I uninstalled it earlier this year because I realized no matter what I did it would only recycle the same 5 sheep for the last few years.
3
It seems to work fine for me, new sheep emerging the longer I run the app. I have the most expensive package (idk if that matters?)
1
I did too. I was paying for it and no matter what I did it wouldn't work right. I figured they stopped supporting it. Oh well.

The Ti-83 makes it.

Am I the only one who came looking for tips on Orchid care?
4
I've debated getting a 4th screen... You, my friend, are a legend...
4
Have to ask what is it that you do with all this screen-a-state ?
3
The only time I actually use ALL of them is with embedded projects with models, schematics, datasheets, and code all up at once.
10
are all these monitors the same? if not you’ve done a brilliant job at colour rendering them all to look alike
1
Based on configuration and how the bottom row of monitors is barely visible, I assume there are few more monitors under the table too?
3
There are not, it's just the eight. The bottom two do go below the desk surface, though.
The angle of the desk keeps them visible.
3
Not hating, I love it but what do you even do with that many monitors
Arranging the monitors becomes a hobby in itself.
Post it in Reddit apparently
My guess is day trading
