As a GIS tech, there’s one missing - the keyboard 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.
Mental illness is almost all of finance. That checks out 100%.
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
GIS as in geographic information systems?
Gastro-intestinal system
Girls in socks
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.
Look, I’m not here to GIS anything. That’s my pinball monitor.
What’s GIS
Geographic Information Systems aka digital mapping aka fancy databases
Interesting… still works without the new fangled fancy databases.
Thanks
alternate spelling for jizz. it’s a porn watching setup.
geographic information system
Asking the important questions, we need to know what we are @fossilesque@mander.xyz
See above.
Since then I’ve upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.
Dragon theme -> hoarde of monitors. Checks out.
Super nice looking setup.
My KVM is the best piece of technology I’ve purchased. That’s an impressive KVM to run that setup.
This is my mental illness, I change, rearrange, add, and substract screens constantly in my array. It’s mostly for leaving ambient video playing in the background at my house, kinda like a little zen garden. I dream of programming all the TVs at a club.
I got five computers in the array when this pic was taken. Three 2012 MacBook Pros, one on MacOS 10.15 Catalina, one on Windows 10, and one on Mint. Down low I have two gaming PCs, a 2014 build running Fedora and a 2017 build on Ubuntu.
You can’t see my face but I’m cheesing so hard, this was one of the more ridiculous arrangements I’ve set up. I will use between three and seven screens at once on a normal day, but eight was an accomplishment lol
This is dope.
Nice setup!
Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.
Like it says, mental illness.
I don’t do modeling or anything, but don’t workspaces better? Mostly to avoid moving your head so much around 4 screens. I would think so anyway but i dunno
I work with redlines and you need to have them open on another screen while you’re making edits unless you like torturing yourself.
8 is just CCTV cameras
Mine is not here. Ultrawide, with regular above it
You know where you belong
In the normal part of the diagram?
🥺
👉👈
That’s me too.
Same, except 3 regulars above the ultra wide
So normal they forgot to even include it
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?
Also, train dispatchers, power grid managers etc. Infrastructure control of any sort.
Ah so all the control freaks and the “tell me more about you and by that I mean tell me more about why you love the MTA system map” kinda crowd, I see.
How is this a science meme
Nearly my entire department uses it and the department below me and next to me to do STEM, would you like to tell us how to do our jobs better lol
Not even remotely close to what I was saying
Lauch Lauch Lauch
Lets be real 4 and 8 are just “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers” in practice.
The keyboard position of 3 and 13 implies that one would stare directly at the gap where the monitors meet. I hope nobody does that.
All monitors at the office I work at are in the #3 position, and everyone uses them like that. The first thing I do when I get there (there are no fixed desks, and I’m only there on Mondays) is move one screen to the left and one screen to the center. Then I use my laptop as a third screen, but pretty much only to display my todo list.
I also think it’s weird, but everyone here does it…
I do it :(
These are my emotional support monitors
My setup isn’t even in this list…
Big fail not having Doom on the screen for this metal af pic
The only thing mental is putting up with all of these seams. If you’re not in a tactical environment that requires this – say for being able to set up and move on the fly – then just get a big ass monitor. They’re life changing.
Is this my sign to get in to GIS?
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.
Holy… a GIS meme in the wild
I have a 27in main, a 21in on its immediate right, a 27in led TV on the left side of the room and an old CRT on the right side of the room. All cables go under the carpet.
Get bent, fucking casuals!
My GIS rig is different than any of those.
Vertical monitor on the left, ultrawide lifted a bit high on the right, and open laptop screen beneath the ultrawide.
Verticals for email, teams, etc. Big ultrawide is mostly for main GIS window and spreadsheets, and laptop screen is kinda general purpose.
I actually have a 4th monitor technically, but it’s a big TV on the wall of my office that’s usually turned off, but that I can use for presentations or screen-sharing when I’m meeting with people in my office.
What’s the science here
7 is radiology
I’m 5, because I’m writing and reading a lot. It makes no sense to have a horizontal screen for text.
I’ve seen a coder have exactly two vertical monitors.
6 but they’re all different sizes. One I’ve had since 2016, one was $20 from goodwill, and the other I found on the side of the road.
