That statement about the Thunderbolt 4 port on the left side, working better than the ones on the right ones, is so true. I have a 16" M1 Pro and Dell WD22TB4 dock; and it's the same story.

Fantastic room! I love how areas are separated for different purposes. Can't wait for that NAS build!

I like it a lot, I have a similar desk setup but I am leaving the country soon so I am in the process of selling it all. Which is how I found your channel, I was looking for a way to run Linux whilst on the road with my iPad. Thanks for all the great content! I swear there's like £20k of tech in this room, that's absolutely crazy, convincing the misses that those were all necessary purchases must of been harder than the work you put in the acquire all that kit.

@georgewithmore8972 Год назад

I'm one of those who thinks that engineers add a large number of monitors, in many cases, for mere eccentricity, since not everyone needs it for their daily work, and they just want their setup to look amazing. I'm glad to see that, in your case, you have shown that a more or less minimalist work environment can also be achieved, without the need to exaggerate the number of devices required. Everything will depend, of course, on the type of work that each person does on a daily basis. I loved your home office! I plan to do something very similar on my Protractor Desk that I just purchased from Manhattan Home Design. Thanks for the tour!

@tech_craft Год назад

I've never had success with multiple monitors. I find it much easier to work on a single screen, especially a wide screen with a tiling window manager like Amethyst on Mac or XMonad on Linux.

@grayismysuperpower Год назад

That is a really nice office. you’re a lucky man. I particularly like the coffee bar area. What a brilliant use of that space! My home office area is 100 ft.². It’s essentially the corner of a loft area and my desk is actually a credenza with a return coming off of it. But it gives me enough space to have a monitor arm mounted to the return with two LG 4K 27 inch monitors connected to a Mac Studio situated right beneath the monitors.

@tech_craft Год назад

Thanks! Two LGs and a Studio - great setup. I keep looking at the Studio but I can't justify having yet another computer!

Thanks! The Define 7 is such a great case. I have the same case but with the glass panel for my Linux workstation. I just picked up the PiKVM for remote control of the NAS.

I have accumulated a lot of gear over the years. I didn't show my collection of older computers but I'm planning on re-purposing most of them and making videos about it.

@joaquimley Год назад

Loved the no BS video, very down to earth and interesting, thank you! I'm on the fence btw Edner v3 and spend more money on upgrades or just going with the orangy bois at prusa, prolly going on the later to save time.

@tech_craft Год назад

I would probably do the same if I started again. The Ender is great but it’s a lot of work to get it up to Prusa standard.

@mbarton98 Год назад

Nice tour! I am surprised the MBPs don’t heat up stacked up like that, but then I just have the fast Intel based ones that tend to run very hot normally.

@tech_craft Год назад

I've never had a problem with the MBP14 in clamshell (I did with Intel) and I'm usually only running one at a time - I probably wouldn't risk it with two! I have a little stand that will hold two laptops vertical when in clamshell mode. I used that back in the Intel MBP days and it was definitely a big help.

@tech_craft Год назад

I have two, both made by Yubikey: Yubikey 5C (USB-C) - geni.us/VFeC Yubikey 5Ci (USB-C/Lightning) - geni.us/GmSepG The 5C is the one in the video - I leave that at home and use it at my desk. The 5Ci I carry with me and has USB-C and Lightning so it works with my phone. It's best practice to have two tokens in case you lose one or one breaks - you don't want to end up locked out of important systems.

@Simon.Bryant Год назад

Lovely setup! How fiddly is it to go between the 2 laptops via the dock?

@tech_craft Год назад

It works better than I expected. I had issues with other docs that meant I needed to reboot the laptop or power cycle the dock every time I switched. I've done none of that with the Sonnet and switching seems to just work.

@Simon.Bryant Год назад

@@tech_craft that’s good to know! Do you just swap the cable from one laptop to the other?

@MultiMam12345 Год назад

Your video looks great! some advice. Your audio is clipping a bit. You need to lower your input gain or check your mic distance/settings assuming the clipping is not caused by your Davinci timeline audio. Autogain could also be the cause of the problem. Having good audio is 75% quality of any video in my personal opinion.

@tech_craft Год назад

Thanks. This is my second time using the Rode WGII and my first time using a lav. Part of the issue seems to be distance of the mic to mouth and then the issue with turning my head.

@MultiMam12345 Год назад

@@tech_craft Already knowing and realizing this is part of the solution. Here is the other half. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D85HmR825wM.html Keep it up!

@joshuamuthiah8193 Год назад

you could try adding some light compression in post processing with a lower mic gain to smooth out the audio and prevent clipping if youre not already doing so

@maxreuv Год назад

Looks an awful lot like David of System Crafters on the monitor most of the time😁

@tech_craft Год назад

An awful lot, or just the right amount? 😂

@micleh Год назад

Thanks for showing your workspace. I like the way you organize your stuff. At 5:55 you show your security token stick. If you have time, could you make a video on the benefits of such a stick - as you suggest at 6:05? I'm desperately trying to convince the IT company at my school to use 2FA and YubiKey sticks for logging into our computers, Prowise digital blackboards and our Microsoft 365 accounts, but nobody is actually listening. To prove their ignorance, they issued our teachers laptops (for the first time ever our government gave every teacher a €550 laptop) without any security, let alone disc encryption or BIOS password, and yet, we have to process sensitive data of our students on them. I'd be very interested in your / your company's digital security policy. Thanks again for the awesome videos you make. They inspire me very much.

@tech_craft Год назад

Definitely. That's already on my backlog - I'm a big fan of the Yubikeys. I can't imagine a laptop in professional context without full-disk encryption. I run it on all my personal machines.

@davejones3417 Год назад

Just out of curiosity, why do you dislike the Apple trackpad? I've generally heard good things about them.

@tech_craft Год назад

I really like the trackpads on the laptops. I think the biggest reason I dislike the trackpad for desktop use is that its position off to the side, combined with the flat angle really feels unnatural. It gives me a lot of arm pain if I use it for long periods. To me a trackpad feels great when centred on your torso, but very awkward when you have to externally-rotate your arm. I had a split keyboard for a while, and had the trackpad between the splits and felt far nicer.

What are these for wall panels in the back?

The movable blue ones and the fixed grey ones are all to reduce the echo. The SM7B doesn't really need them, but the other mics I use definitely do.

@steveliberty Год назад

You have 2 laptops connected to your dock - how do you switch between the laptops?

@tech_craft Год назад

Sadly, only one is connected at a time. I have the low tech solution of moving the cable. I've searched and searched for a TB4 switch but found nothing, I'd love one.

@steveliberty Год назад

@@tech_craft I suppose if youe monitor supports 2 TB4 inputs, youcould go with 2 docks, and switch via the monitor's buttons.....

@steveliberty Год назад

Although that would also require USB switching to connect your keyboard, mouse, etc. to one dock or the other.

Yeah - and the TB4 docks are already pretty damn expensive!

fun video to watch, although it really was ironic, to have the Shure mic, but the audio in this video was rather ...difficult to listen to :), of course no need to have a superb lav mic if your videos usually don't you to be on the move while recording.

@tech_craft Год назад

It's unfair to blame the lav - it's the operator I'm afraid! I need more practice with the lav setup for sure.

@jebaker2 Год назад

If I subscribe, you reach 80K subscribers? Sure… why not!?

@balkeep Год назад

You do realise your monitor has exact same scaling as 4k 27", right since it has the same 163 ppi? Yours is just 4k 27" ultrawide. It has the same height of 2160, and 3840*21/16 = 5040 width. So, the scaling options you get are exactly the same as 4k 27. A proper 5k ultrawide would have that 2880 height and 5120 * 21 / 16 = 6720 width and ppi of 220 to accompany that, not 163, as 34WK95U-W. And I saw those monitors side by side, so I know what I'm talking about. LG 5k display is 5120 * 2880 and 220 ppi, and there is no ultrawide with the same ppi regretably. And tbh with latest macos you so much scaling options on both 4k and 5k you can easily choose how small or big things you want to be, it's only a matter of ppi, which is ofc better on 5k screens.

@tech_craft Год назад

You are correct about the PPI calculation and absolutely correct about the lack of a true 5K widescreen., The issue here is the slight apples to oranges comparison of an ultrawide to a non-ultrawide - actual 4K ultrawides at the same size have much lower pixel density. Most actual '4k ultrawide' screens seem to be much lower with PPIs

@balkeep Год назад

@@tech_craft That's what you mean =) You prefer to address them by final resolution, and I always referred them by base 16:9 resolution =D And I have no idea what's going on with your 27 4k, but I have two at office and I get 3840x2160, 3360x1890, 3200x1800, 3008x1692, 2560x1440, 2304x1296 ... and a lot of lower resolutions as options for mine. Maybe that's cuz I had Better Display installed at some point, might be a good idea to try it out, if you have only those 2 options :(, mb it left some override file leftovers in my system 🤷🏻‍♂ At home I had this same 5k2k at some point but then it broke, shop couldn't replace it and returned the money, so I'm now in a search =)

@tech_craft Год назад

Yeah, I will definitely give BetterDisplay try out - I do have it installed but I never used it on that actual monitor. I dread my 5K2K breaking - the available options are not great. I really don't want to have to get two 5K Ultrafines, both for the price and the really large bezels!

@balkeep Год назад

@@tech_craft Yeah, I'm hesitating to get 5K Ultrafine, even though I can get one for 900usd atm, but it's ugly as hell... Leaning towards same 5k2k LG (if I can find one lol) or mb two benq pd2725q's/dell u2720q...
