   Criminy, the difference between me working with one or two full sized monitors is a huge difference in productivity

   It's really hard to get things done sometimes without having a full second monitor. The laptop screen really doesn't suffice.

     @mauve I'm very interested in that direction! Have you been doing this? If so, how's it been going for you?

     @cwebber I've been using a less fancy version without the head tracking and I've found it better than laptop screens when I'm on the go. I'm gonna save up a bit to get this new model later this year though.
     Would probs need the perscription lens inserts to see clearly. With my current setup I take breaks every 3 hours or more. My current glasses: https://pro.viture.com/

     @mauve You may have seen my writeup about the DIY FOSS Cyborg guy's setup https://dustycloud.org/blog/the-diy-foss-cyborg/

     Zacchae claims no eye fatigue in using the XReal Airs with prescription inserts, though that doesn't seem to be the case generally for many people I've seen writing about it

     I have enough eye fatigue as is, that's maybe the main thing holding me back

     @mauve It's struck me before that if I were to persue a full cyborg setup, I might want to use the same boards that MNT is already using on their computers, since I'd like to see that direction of computing succeed. And @mntmn posted this thing a bit ago https://mastodon.social/@mntmn/114241921879862683 which makes me wonder whether that's a positive possible direction for full cyborg-dorkification

     @aeva Would it work if you had two vertical monitors?

     @cwebber the fact that they don't really make desktop monitors that are small AND good means I have this massive 4k monitor and I run everything windowed mode. I've got ideas for a custom window manager to better take advantage of the periphery, but I don't have time for a project like that and I wouldn't be able to use such a thing on my work computer anyway.

     @cwebber I miss being able to do that. Since I screwed up my neck I haven't been able to use a second screen because I gotta keep better posture for long hours of computer now or I get hurt.

     @aeva Criminy I really want a drawing monitor

     I still am using a 22 year old Intuos 2

     @cwebber Madi has a single arm version which she modded (I forget what she changed) and has a fancy drawing tablet monitor on it. I think she's had it since college. Very sturdy.

     @cwebber well I got one of these https://www.ergotron.com/en-us/products/product-details/45-248 and I leave my second monitor above and slightly behind my primary monitor, but I also leave it off unless I really need to use it. For the most part I just use it with my dev kit. It's nice because I can easily move my monitors around to change which one is more center.

     @cwebber just imagine rolling into a conference on one of these perfect chairs, but a custom one that's upholstered with yak fleece, running gnu/unix

     @cwebber my only complaint is the range of rotation assumes you're looking at it from a seated or standing position, and you can't really mount it for laying down underneath one. I've found that vesa mounts for use in bed is a criminally under served niche. You'd think this use case would be the sweet spot for accessibility tech since there's a broader marketing segment of "lazy" people, but the main thing I've found is those expensive scorpion chairs.

     @cwebber @mauve I have the Viture Pro and yeah I get some eye fatigue from it after a while. The FoV is also pretty disappointing, which might be unavoidable with glasses that use birdbath optics like these

     I'm hoping in the next few years we'll see glasses with waveguides that you could conceivably just wear as your regular glasses and then boom it's a display when you plug it in
