Still has a keyboard that’s way too big though. See him having to use the very corner of the mouse mat in order to use it comfortably.
You can pry my tenkey from my cold dead fingers, haha
Get a keyboard with layers. You’ll thank yourself later. So much damn desk space open to anything. A cup of juice. The mouse in between the two halves of the keyboard (if it’s a split one like mine), no need for extra buttons that take up so much space just sitting there 99% of the time.
I need it for Blender. If anything I need more keys for all the shortcuts.

My experience is like a mirror opposite; nearly all mechanical keyboards are less than 100%, and my productivity would nosedive if I had to hunt and peck numbers.
You might not be wrong overall, but I thought it was funny that my anecdote is fully the opposite.
I need to do a lot of number entry for my work, and the southpaw TKC CandyBar saved my life. I liked it so much I immediately bought a second one just in case something happened.
Then I got a Prime_E. I think people over estimate how hard it is to adjust typing habits to accommodate layers and toggles!
Maybe? I’ve never touched one and I’m not rich or idle enough to buy into an entirely new paradigm. My desk is the size of a coffin as well, so I’ve got to fill it up with something. Might as well be a huge keyboard that sounds like a box of staplers falling down the stairs.
Never knew those existed, really cool. I’ll try to remember that and consider one once my old one dies, which by the looks of it will take another decade.
It probably depends on use case. There are plenty of situations where having numpad on the right makes perfect sense for right handed people.
But I’m an oddball who is very much right handed but uses the mouse left handed because my right wrist got so much wear and tear from early life data entry work.
I’ve done enough data entry in the past it just seems unnatural to have a left ten key. Typing hex numbers seems like it would be a major pain.
The solution is a desk pad. If 100% of the desk is a mouse pad you are never in the wrong spot.
Doesn’t really address my point. If your keyboard forces your hand too far off the side… Even if your mouse has a ton of mat space over there, you still have to reach way over there.
I have my mouse in between my two keyboard halves. Off to the side if I’m gaming, and using only one half of the keyboard, the other half unplugged, or just moved up and out of the way.
I recently got a 80% keyboard without numpad and bought a separate numpad to put on the left side of the keyboard.
Game changer.
Yeah I started with a TKL from WASD Keyboards (which seemed like a company that was doing okay, but just suddenly vanished) and it served me great for a year or so and it’s still a pretty good keyboard, but I had one look at the ZSA Voyager and I knew I had to have that baby. Only 52 keys, column-staggered, split keyboard. There’s so much space on my desk now. I can even unplug one half and get even more space for my mouse if playing FPS games. Programmable layers, LEDs, multi-function keys. It’s got the works. Highly recommended piece of hardware IMO.
Old one was space efficient af though
Wait wtf, is this paint on the right computer screen?
paint.NET most likely. Unironically it is a really great image editor and has some cool tools for pixel art.
Meanwhile I’m on GIMP spending 2 hours searching for the right tools to do something simple :(
Are the desk legs actually angled in the bottom picture or is it a weird perspective thing? If it’s on purpose, why?
Dunno but it makes sense, more space for your knees when you swivel close to the edge.
They’re not common at all, but I prefer a desk suspended from the ceiling with chains or whatever - complete and total freedom for the legs.
Feels like you’re wearing nothing at all?
aesthetics, i would guess. everyone has different tastes.
Random tech bro cabinet is Corsair Obsidian 1000D:
Cant even look at these cases anymore. Its the <20L ITX life for me.
Why is this guy posing like he doesnt have the default windows background?
He’d displaying his lack of personality.
I’ve gathered some like that. Or I’ve misunderstood and people are easily led morons. One or the other.
Why is he posing like he doesn’t run Windows 11?
I remember trying to use one edition of MSDN (MicroSloth Developer Network if I recall correctly) on my laptop a few years ago. Whoever had developed the UI for it had been using a giant monitor because on a small laptop screen the article contents in the right-hand detail panel didn’t word-wrap correctly, so reading the article required constant scrolling left-and-right with the horizontal scroll bar (which sometimes didn’t even show up). For six months I just got in the habit of copying-and-pasting the contents into a simple text editor so that I could actually read the shit normally.
I’ve long advocated making developers use the shittiest equipment and no extra monitors, just to ensure that what we build actually works on most machines. I’m not a monster: the money saved could be used to give developers ACTUAL FUCKING OFFICES.
There are browser tools to emulate different devices.
It’s two button clicks to test layouts. Just laziness or lack of ability.
That’s why you should always test on a variety of screen sizes including mobile. That however doesn’t mean you should make your devs work on terrible machines. Then you end up in situations where it dosen’t scale correctly. It’s also terrible for developer productivity, many of whom don’t even work on the front end. I don’t think the cost of PCs is anywhere near that of offices, and I suspect the reason for not having offices isn’t monetary anyway.
do you have a walking desk? yes WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT
Im pretty sure he also has a 3d printer
Linus or techbro because as a printer owning technician i will throw down…
Most probably both
Linus, im pretty sure one video with him shows a 3d printer.
It’s a bit like alt med quacks wearing a white lab coat and carrying a stethoscope while they prescribe magical water or wave coloured crystals at you.
Who are these people?
The dude is an ex officer and a former world record holder, a 4 time world champion in shooting, has been top 3 in 27 european and world championship competitions, and has been competing for over 2 decades now. He won silver at the last Olympics
The woman recently won Gold at the Olympics.
The joke in the original meme is that she needed all that equipment and perfect form to beat a guy who literally walked on with a pack of ciggies and a tshirt and shot with both eyes open. It is very likely he is a much better shot than her in any real world scenario given he is also former special military. He probably wasn’t trying that hard at all.
Much like the guy, Torvalds invented Linux and Git may be one of the most influential minds in software in our lifetimes and he doesn’t have a desk full of blinking lights and $15000 desk setups. He doesn’t need a bunch of try hard poser shit to be great.
My favorite part of this is how he subconsciously wiped the fingerprints off his gun when he was done
That’s be amazing if he also took it apart while walking away and dropped the pieces in different trash cans
Shooting with both eyes open is actually easier, your whole face is relaxed, and relaxation is key to accurate shooting. At least that’s what I was taught in the military
If your other eye is closed in the military, you get snuck up on.
full of blinking lights
DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN!
He probably wasn’t trying that hard at all.
I highly doubt that’s true.
His shooting style is just more traditional while hers is more contemporary.
Both are amazing shooters and among the best in the world.
Are you fucking kidding me? Yeji had style, it’s nothing about random tech. Get the fuck out of here and leave our girl alone
Thank you for the explanation! I never really watched the Olympics enough to see them firing guns. I would think all that high tech equipment counts as performance enhancement stuff which goes against the spirit of peak human based skill but maybe sports people who actually watch and run the Olympics think differently about external augmentations in some cases.
Its really funny with the context of some dude just chilling and vibing while casually firing off world record level shots
He is the odd one out. Most have special gear.
Mossad hitmen after the Munich Olympics.
Olympic medalists from this past olympics. They both performed very well for different reasons, and were very popular because of their styles.
Most people are using the same tech as Yeji, but her form, grace, and relaxation made her stand out. And I’m absolutely furious for the other trash poster putting her down like that. She did all that while mothering a four year old ffs.
And she beat Linus’s ass, too.
I think it’s just a joke here because of their getups. I wasn’t under the impression she was getting flack - I thought she was great.
It’s spelled flak, not flack. It’s a German abbreviation from Flugabwehrkanone, which means aerial defense cannon.
Interesting! Thanks.
I keep getting caught off-guard seeing current photos of Torvalds. He’s just like…a guy.
And honestly I’d rather my mission-critical software be written by “just a guy” than by whoever Mr. Battlestation is down there on the bottom.
Mr. Battlestation that is running one GPU, but has the combined cooling to run a nuclear power plant
Cooling? You mean the spinning leds?
TBF, cooling is cheap, GPUs are expensive.

TBH I want to reduce the LED’s on mine because its in my bedroom and I can’t seem to figure out if there is a way to turn them all off so I can sleep better…

Did you try turn of the computer? Maybe by a power strip with an on-off switch for it?
Sometimes I have shit I need to run overnight.
Christ on a stick! As someone who builds computers for fun all I see is fan control modules and cables. So many cables. Cables as far as the eye can see!
Could be daisy chained fans, I admit I don’t know how many you can chain together though.
Still gotta be a mess in there.
Not shown: a cubic meter of obscure developer boards and gadgets that hardware manufacturers randomly send to Torvalds to integrate into Linux.
Also his RAM is ECC.
On account of the cosmic space beams.
But standing desks are awesome, I too would pick the top over the bottom setup
Never tried them, but I feel like I’d get tired after a couple minutes
The idea (at least from what I’m getting) is to be able to switch posture throughout the day, not necessarily to stand up the whole day. I’ve tried one for a couple of days and it seems nice, I just haven’t gotten around buying one for home yet.
El puto Xokas xDDDD
The computers get faster the code gets slower and tech bros slither into our DMs
