Workstation Rehaul (Advice Needed) (lemmy.world)
 

Hello fellow lemmings!

Cross posted.

I am in need of some advice on how to expand my workstation.

I currently have 2 monitors and 2 laptops with 1 docking station that I switch back and forth between (I do have a second Bluetooth mouse that I connect to the laptop that is not currently connected to the docking station, if I need to).

I would like to have 4 monitors by the upcoming tax season. Also, I would like the option to expand to a total of 3 laptops within a couple years.

I have looked into KVM switches and the only one that I can find for 4 monitors and 2 computers is upwards of $800. Is there a KVM switch out there for 4 monitors and 3 computers, or is this just a pipedream?

What other solutions should I consider? When I expand to 3 computers in the upcoming years, would having 2 workstations be cheaper/more efficient?

Illegal in the USA, too. It is a rarely enforced law.

My Garfunkel does this every time he wants/receives pets. It's his routine and he is over 13.

I need to rewatch. I remember exactly who Chili Palmer is.

I think TalkingCat is referring to the Chinese balloons that were recently spotted floating over the USA and into Canada, I believe. The Chinese government said they were merely weather balloons.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy? in c/[email protected]

I love the "might HAVE to go out for drinks with the coworkers on the way home". This is my most dreaded fear.

Edit: and clothes/getting 'ready' (hair, makeup, underwear, etc.) is double time for women.

LoZ: Ocarina of Time. I really appreciate that I can run across the main part of the map in less than an in-game day. BotW and TotK are vast and I love them in their own right but I am really enjoying the OG scale of the map.

Edit to add: and the dungeons! :)

I agree. When I hear the phrase, I automatically think of Alice and the White Rabbit.
