5 is so much office work, one portrait for reading, one landscape for everything else
What’s gis? Cos apparently I’m one.
Geographic Information Systems aka digital mapping aka fancy databases
Wut….?
were gis’ers!
Now gith…
I, too, gis’ed in my pants at work.
Im so confused
If geography is a way to bridge the natural and social sciences, a GIS is basically a tool for combining unlike, often large scale datasets that are hard to compare otherwise. A GIS allows people to see where things occur in time and space and analyse those relationships.

Kinda like SQL but in polar coordinates
Just here to point out that Stephen Crowder is a shithead.
GIS as in geographic information systems?
Gastro-intestinal system

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.
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.
I don’t do modeling or anything, but don’t workspaces (virtual desktops) work 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.
You can print out redlines and look at pen and paper markups which works great but it has negatives like printing a set of 20 page 22x34 drawings can be costly to plot and annoying to go through sheet by sheet
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.
13 is: can’t afford wide screen, can get another small screen from stores
Mental illness is almost all of finance. That checks out 100%.
Which one is most common for finance?
8,11 16
10 with a giant central screen is fairly norm now too.
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
<sploosh>
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.
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.
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.
It’s databases all the way down, brother.
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.
8 is just CCTV cameras
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. On second thought, maybe they also have an extra keyboard/console (#16).
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.
Mine is not here. Ultrawide, with regular above it
You know where you belong
In the normal part of the diagram?
🥺
👉👈
Same, except 3 regulars above the ultra wide
So normal they forgot to even include it
That’s me too.
