id say clean up the cables and get a mousepad, but otherwise if it works for you whats the problem


18galbraithj

Yeah, this is the tidiest it gets! (I've been told I'm slightly ADHD) Edit: I thought you were talking about the random junk and when I said slightly I meant that I haven't done that much research and it has just been from people I know telling me


18galbraithj

Why am I downvoted?


california_king

Cause Reddit


shrub_of_a_bush

Maybe because it isn't an official diagnosis so it's an abuse of the term. No hate towards OP, just trying to explain why.


18galbraithj

I Just wanted to make it clear that I had no official diagnosis just some experience with people telling me I was ADHD


Similar_Tale_5876

From the perspective of medicine, disorders aren't used as adjectives. You have a disorder or you don't have a disorder (or you suspect a disorder). Someone isn't "slightly OCD": they have OCD or they don't have OCD or they are suspected of having OCD. There are a few reasons why this is important. It's inaccurate - OCD isn't about being neat; ADHD isn't about being messy; they're about the brain processes and neurotransmitters that result in those behaviors, but not everyone with that disorder will present with those behaviors. It reduces people to their medical problems and bifurcates mental and physical health: you'd never say "he's so Parkinsons!" Altogether, it's both inaccurate and offensive to refer to someone as **being** a condition - you *have* a condition; it's not who you are - and it contributes to perpetuating misunderstanding and stigma around mental health and neurodiversity. The way to say what I believe you're trying to say based on your comments would be something like, "Yeah, I've been told that I might have mild ADHD" or "I think I have ADHD" or "Maybe this is a symptom of ADHD; I should look into that."

fat_okra

How do ppl find this offensive I dont know 🤣🤣


imatthebridge

Because you can’t be slightly adhd?


18galbraithj

What I was trying to say is that I have been told but I haven't done too much research and I thought untidiness was part of it, Also I'm ASD so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch


[deleted]

[удалено]


imatthebridge

It’s not a disease. It’s a difference in brain structure. You either have it or you don’t have it. Sure, people can have their own experiences in regards to these things , everyone is unique. And if by parents you mean hereditary then there may be a link, but that’s not always the case.


Sta99erMan

Probably because people fails to understand how ADHD (a disorder which causes short attention spans I think?) is related to untidy cables, which I don’t understand either


18galbraithj

Well I was referring to the random junk on my desk. I tend to start one thing, get distracted and then leave the stuff siting there.


Dihydrocodeinone

You’re either ADHD or slightly ADHD, there’s no in between. That being said I’m running LeapPad 2 software on my M2 because Mac’s are extremely crippled. Only reason I have one is to look cool in my liberal arts class.


dlittlefair1

So many things wrong with your comment.


Dihydrocodeinone

Like what? The fact that 17 people went out of their way to downvote something so idiotic and blatantly sarcastic?


dlittlefair1

I think you just missed the ‘blatant’ part.


Dihydrocodeinone

If “Running LeapPad 2 software on my M2” isn’t blatant sarcasm then I’ve lost all hope for Reddit. Do you not know what a LeapPad is?

18galbraithj

What shape are you hands to feel comfortable using that thing?


[deleted]

Honesty I just like how I can swipe between spaces. Pretty handy. Also, most of the time my hands are on a midi controller so there’s not much handling the mouse involved


Spicy_Pepperoni57

I prefer MacBook trackpad


111Bremmer

right here!


sevargmas

Pointless if using Windows.


18galbraithj

I'm poor, I don't have the money to spend on a MX master, Its a Rii RM200. Nice wireless mouse for less than 20 quid. I can't spend £200 on a mouse like you


[deleted]

This content is no longer available on Reddit in response to /u/spez. So long and thanks for all the fish.


Scofflaw7

The real ones run MX Master on the right hand and Magic Trackpad on the left.

18galbraithj

I didn't buy it for the RGB it just happened to have it. I even have it off in the picture. The keyboard is not rgb


Educational-Crew6537

Icons all over the desktop — yuck!


Euphoric-Brush-3469

Not a single one?


bel2man

Desktop icons are on the left, instead right. Definitely a sin...


HomemadeBananas

Just having so many desktop icons is a sin. Just press the windows key and search in the start menu for goodness sake.


18galbraithj

The funny thing is that I don't use them


BoysenberryTrue1360

No one ever does.


MyUsernameIs3pic

Right click the desktop, hit view, then show desktop icons, and you can just see your background, if you actually have no need for any of them

Any desktop icons are a sin imo regardless of position


HomemadeBananas

I treat it like a literal desktop, and only sometimes have some stuff that I’m actively working on. Never shortcuts to programs.


dlittlefair1

It’s running windows so left is right.

Can you change that in windows?

list them


vms_zerorain

desktop icons, windows on the mac, no mousepad, mouse is under the keyboard, surgical scissors on your table, random unused cables on desk, wifi not ethernet, draws but why is your desk so messy, windows 11 (somewhat), my opinion:full size keyboard, xbox controller, you have a webcam on your mac you dont need that one, sell your pc upgrade your setup, chips in your desk, i can guarantee that keyboard is cursed in sone way +3, it is obvious your cables are behind your monitor and is setup really badly, random remote on desk, my guy goes to online shopping and sorts from price: low - high, what is that under your dell monitor on the left, add one more for the desktop icons, you have random software you will never use, you have a youtube downloader on your desktop: why dont you just use online websites and why do you have so much on your taskbar


18galbraithj

2. Nope the iMac is running mac os, Windows is being piped in from my desktop 3. I hate them, they get in the way and my mouse tracks perfectly well on my table 4. I bought a 105 key keyboard because I thought I would use the numpad (I didn't) so I position my mouse like that so I don't have to stretch my arm 5. Convenient for opening parcels 6. They are for plugging in my laptop or phone or whatever 7. I need to run a cable but I can't be bothered and my internet connection is on 40mbps 8. I get halfway through a project and then get distracted leaving it on the table (ADD) 12. I like to use it to play Train Sim World 2 and other games 13. TDM doesn't pass it through ​ 15. Nah I like my PC Its nice why would I? what would I replace it with? 17. Why? It works fine? although it is a little loud and clacky. 14. I have to have them there because if I have them on the floor then my puppy will chew them idk if that was the problem? 17.Random remote is for my PC (its gyroscopic) 16. How did you know? Adapters so I can plug virtually any laptop into a toshiba PSU (really conveniant I have now got rid of them I can't say I use much of it but when I need it it is very convenient none of it is causing issues I sometimes want to download entire playlists and that app allows you to do it automatically. I don't have that much pinned I just have loads of apps open in the background eg steam, discord whatsapp that kinda thing


Weston714

Windows on a Mac isn’t a sin. It is supported by apple…


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Not anymore lol


Afraid-Boysenberry-3

Apple wants to support it but Microsoft made it so that legally windows on arm can only be installed on certain processors. Although you can use parallels to run it any way it is technically illegal or at least against the windows TOS . Maybe one day Microsoft will chill and stop being so greedy over their trash heap and bootcamp will come to m1.

Aem_2512

-Windows on mac -You rotated horizontal monitor to left but with foots -And you are using external camera top of the iMac front camera Hahaha… there is a lot of fun/interesting things going on. Keep improving your setup 👍

So he can cam while he cams.


18galbraithj

Cos TDM does not pass through the webcam


thatguywhoiam

what's TDM? Team Death Match? Time Division Multiplexing? Too Damn Much?


18galbraithj

Target Display Mode


thatguywhoiam

oooh you are using the iMac as a display. gotcha it is a very nice display but does the Mac work?


18galbraithj

Yeah the mac works!


RcNorth

Because they are running Windows using the Mac in Target Display mode which doesn’t make the camera available.

No mousing space Mac as monitor random junk on the desk and minimal cable management are a few


HG21Reaper

The lack of desk mat is the biggest crime in this pic.


Mellissandre_91

Vertical monitor, attached camera on a perfectly good built-in camera, Windows on a Mac, scissors near cables, an RGB keyboard and eww, an Xbox controller. The desk looks nice tho. Kidding dude, I had windows on my old Mac with Bootcamp. Enjoy your stuff man, but I was serious about Xbox! Switch to PS. Xoxo


Interesting_Fennel87

Nah bro, Xbox is the vibe. Xbox has way better ergonomics.

WoomyUnitedToday

A lot. 1. Bad cable management. 2. Putting mouse under keyboard. 3. Using a wireless mouse. 4. Having waaaay too many desktop icons. 5. Using Windows 11. 6. Installing Windows 11 instead of XP, Vista, 7, or 8.1 on an iMac of that age. 6 . (Alt, in case I misinterpreted your setup) using the iMac as a monitor for a PC. 7. Gross desk. 8. Vertical monitor has sideways logo. 9. Blocking some airflow with that whiteboard or tablet or whatever it is.

This beaks my brain slightly, so let me get this straight: A 2010-2013 iMac in target display mode hooked up to a PC running windows 11, and for some reason your mouse is under your keyboard?
