Ask those fucking monitors and they couldn't spare a few hundred each on better chairs?
And then a windows update in the middle, with "hey, take it easy bro, we are just taking care of a few things, alright? Your friends at Microslop."
You may not like it, but this is what peak ergonomics look like
Thanks, capitalism
Ray Bradbury warned us of this
Picard: Computah, where is the bloody cursor??
I guess we need to extend this chart somewhat...
Okay I use a 50” TV as a monitor. What am I?
nope. you just need to adjust a few things. 2 monitors for corporate serfs (rename middle management to serfs) and 4+ for corporate slaves. upper management gets a laptop and a normal monitor. executives can stay the same. CEO needs 2 phones.
CEO needs 2 phones
Is the second one for the coke dealer?
coke, prostitutes, bribery, etc.,
I should get a second phone
c-suite material
The most important is at the bottom of that curve, right?
Well, yes, but also the lowest-paid.
Needs a log scale x-axis
Yeah and the wild thing is that the importance axis is cut-off, by the time it reaches 10+ screens that's the single most important employee who if they were runover by a bus tomorrow, the company will just randomly implode one day when something only they know how to maintain just falls over and no contractor can untangle the spaghetti infrastructure.
The thing is, they haven't had a pay rise since screen 6 but somehow are just unphased even by inflation.

Too real
Meanwhile, I've owned 4 monitors since 1995 and I happily remain on a single 1080p monitor.
Shake till it gets big
😐 What gets big exactly?
"yes"
It's a feature in KDE that if you shake or move the mouse fast the cursor gets bigger so you can find it.
Debian 13 + KDE Plasma - Why does the mouse get so huge? HAAAAHAHAHAHA
It is also a sexual innuendo.
I wanna put that in your end-o, if you know what I meANALSEX
My favorite part is that it keeps getting bigger as you continue shaking it, eventually resulting in a big-ass cursor that can't be contained in one display lol
...What? I was bored...

Wtf is this ? What the hell are they doing that requires 15 screens ?
It’s a cropped version of a BBC office someone could see from their apartment
I work in ATC and we have several desks with around 12 to 18 screens. Not in that layout tho, but on a much larger banana form.
They are used at different support positions so not ATC radars. Mostly for monitoring but also used with keyboard and mouse.
The applications goes from technical surveillance of ops systems, to flow capacity (airspace capacity), meteo broadcast for all airports (ATIS) or ground-ground telecommunications of aeronautical data.
Reminds me of the workstation from ~~"Halle Berry's Breasts: The Movie"~~ Swordfish.
"Halle Berry's Breasts: The Movie" We need more of these
~~“Halle Berry in a Bikini: The Younglings Awakening - A Kids Movie”~~ The Flintstones
I think they're great the way they are but maybe somebody will remake Total Recall again with her as Mary.

IIRC when keemstar posted it, it's a BBC office
What aren’t they doing?
I have a friend who works for Transpower (company in charge of NZ electric grid) and occasionally goes into their control rooms. Apparently they have set ups like this. It gets worse, because there are several computers hooked up to the different monitors, so not only do they have a wall of monitors, they have a bunch of different keyboards and mice (mouses?) that they have to hunt through if they want to actually interact with something
They need to invest in some KVM switches. Just leave the monitors connected directly to the towers but route the input devices through the switch. There's no good reason for a single person to face more than one keyboard and mouse at the same desk.
