So many Macs...

My 8 weeks of WFH

Félix Paradis • May 20 '20

You actually use that Mac for more than decoration?

Ryan Collins • May 21 '20

Yeah, I built a wifi modem with the CHIP computer and use the SE/30 as a terminal. Since I work from the command line for a lot of my day, I can use any machine if it has a decent terminal emulator. ZTerm works very well.

I LOVE IT!

Also, +1 for Brave browser. :)

Apparently I like colors 🤷‍♂️

Wesley Mutwiri • May 24 '20

I just had to ask. What's the theme you're using?👀

Joost Kiens • May 24 '20

Oh it's Synthwave '84.

At first I installed it for fun, but it really grew on me.🤘

Wesley Mutwiri • May 24 '20

Oh. Nice. Thank you very much

It's like an extended dark mode.

I miss my standing desk and my big monitor.

Denis Rendler • May 20 '20

Awesome keyboard/keyboards. Can you share a link for it? Thanks

Félix Paradis • May 20 '20

I've actually made detailed reviews about both of those keyboards!

I have been using Nextstand 2 for 4 years now. It is really handy.

Camping here to "steal" y'alls setup 👀

Dev station, workshop, chillout lounge

Ben Halpern • May 20 '20

Wow, what a space!

Marvin • May 21 '20

I love your monitor set up

Todd Stark II • May 20 '20 • Edited

Here's mine. I recently added the laptop stand and quickly realized I needed a monitor stand too. I decided to build one out of Legos. I'm pretty happy with it, plus now I always have things to play with during meetings.

Stephanie Handsteiner • May 20 '20 • Edited

Yes, just the notebook. At some point I need to buy a new external monitor, though. 🤔

Edit: And I apparently have got a new angle. Stupid camera phone.

Naveen • May 20 '20 • Edited

MBP, Prism+ 29" wide angle monitor, Keychron k4 mechanical keyboard

Absolute cave mode

Think I should show my old workplace and the "standing desk" I used to have.

Left was Linux, right was Windows, and I used Synergy so I just had one keyboard, and an IOGear KVM switch for when I needed to Admin the Windows, but my Logitech Unifying keyboard didn't work well with the KVM, so I modified a Staples "Easy" button with an Arduino-like Teensy that acted as a Human Interface Device and wrote code to send two scroll locks when needed.

And that is an empty toilet paper box holding up the keyboard. Just the right height, but I like my new one better.
