I’ve been sat at the dining room table down stairs since lockdown. My wife’s on a -2 months career break so to be out of the way, I’ve taken her old office up stairs.

The set up needs work.

The desk is too low so I’ll try and raise it.

I have a second monitor but would prefer to get a hydraulic dual stand thing. Also have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse somewhere

I've not heard of that being an issue but that's annoying as I have two sets of these (smaller and larger versions).

Not repairable by who though? A normie or someone with some electronics knowledge and a willingness to solder?

iirc the "3.5" models aren't feasible to repair at all, all the bigger models are, if you have enough soldering expertise to replace capacitors

I've got the 3.5 and 4.5 versions. I guess I'll see what happens and make a call if/when they shit the bed. I like 'em though.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
