What’s gis? Cos apparently I’m one.
Geographic Information Systems aka digital mapping aka fancy databases
Wut….?
Mental illness is almost all of finance. That checks out 100%.
Which one is most common for finance?
8,11 16
When I was in college I worked a data entry job at an investment advisor firm. One of the financial planners had #8 as their setup.
tbf number 8 could be used for security too
As a GIS tech, there’s one missing - the laptop next to an ultrawide. Optional normal monitor to the side :P
But yes, as a former weather forecaster, the 4 in a square is insane and unfortunately it was necessary on bad weather days. At one of my locations, we also had the PC hooked up to a television running behind us and had a separate real time data monitor to the side. So… Yeah.
One of us. In my old job I ran two gaming rigs for processing on a KVM switch. GIS is all about the rig. Only need one or two screens lol. 13 btw lmao.
GIS as in geographic information systems?
Girls in socks
I’m not even on the chart
Those characters in your desktop seem awfully gleeful at your future neck ache.
My bed is right behind this picture and I sometimes lie down and turn right to look at the main monitor. Turning left-up balances it.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE 🚑🚑🚑
I ain’t moving this has been my setup for 2 years at this point
Lmg, the top one is for playing music off YouTube?
It’s for messaging. I put Matrix and Discord over there. Chat and OBS also goes there when I stream.
So all I do is occasionally look over at it. It’s not really a problem for my neck.
What’s wrong with #8? Looks like a normal trader setup to me.
My setup is off the charts, tho, as usual.
Aren’t traders supposed to be mentally ill?
Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.
- App
- App submenus and subwindows
- Redlines/markups/notes
- Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.
Though I’d say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.
Like it says, mental illness.
Since then I’ve upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.
<sploosh>
I’m none of these. I have two normal and one rotated 90 degrees for the odd legal sized document that gets scanned in. When I was doing a lot of data entry in one of my jobs, it helped.
Can someone explain to me how to connect so many monitors? Like I had two HDMI ports and I think thats pretty normal? How are people doing 3+ monitors?
USB video dongles.
You can daisy chain displayport, as long as you have the bandwidth for it. I think the real issue is not how many monitors, but just how many pixels you’re trying to drive. Since secondary monitors are typically 1080p, the whole collection of them should be the same as a 4k main monitor.
You need a graphics card or smth to even have the ability to have >3 displays. Some Macbooks have a 2 screen limit, so if you want to use only external monitors you have to close the lid. PC graphics generally allow at least 3 screens. But thunderbolt usb is an option.
I have a tower pc with graphics card, dual booting windows and linux so in theory I can put 3 on here? Interesting
Linus Tech Tips did a video on having windows alongside macOS on the smae machine. They did it by having both as VMs on a barebones linux machines. Theoretically you could then dedicate each one of the operating systems to an OS, and run linux, windows, and mac side by side. My guess kn feasibility: very hard.
Lets be real, 4 and 8 are “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers” 99% the time in practice.
These are my emotional support monitors
I have an ultra wide and a vertical 1080p it’s amazing
I’m none of these.
One large center monitor, a smaller 1080p to the left and right, and above the center large one for a total of four.
Perfect for being a DM.
