Anyone know what the monitor is in the blog author's home setup?

https://www.ntietz.com/blog/my-portable-ergonomic-setup/

Specifically this image: https://www.ntietz.com/processed_images/keyboard-3.e1480955e...

I can't find the info in any of the blog posts and can't get anything useful by zooming in on any of the images.

I'm really tempted to get another one for use with my laptop, but I'm currently using a left-handed Elecom trackball that is wireless - it's fine, but not the sheer luxury of a Ploopy.

ooh that's a good idea. I have wanted something wireless to make it more convenient to do supine computing, so that could be just the ticket.

and cheers to another lefty mouse user!

This does look very cool. But my advise for anyone suffering from pain to their arms, hands, backs, and any other body parts that usually hurt for people working on computer all day: Do modest, but regular mobility and strength exercises. While having an ergonomic (and cool looking at that) setup is important, it wont save you from muscle atrophy. A physical therapist might help you find the right kind of exercises for you. This is often not obvious, because the muscle you need to reinforce / train are often not actually the one hurting. And you need to do it regularly. But if you stick to it, the payoff is much better than any setup I ever had.

This is great advice! It took me 2 years and many doctors before I wound up at a physical therapist who figured out my nerve issue in 10 minutes. It was wild how they could move my shoulder and reproduce it. Now I’m working on strengthening stuff to make it better—and keeping the setup for a defense in depth against other issues

A Ploopy trackball - they're the best although I do kind of want a wireless one as well.

The bearings are sooooo satisfying. I would also love to have a wireless one.

I love that the desk in the shots is a coffee bar. Thinking of how customized my coffee setups are it is a clear analogy for ergonomics. Adapting an activity to one's biology.

I’m a sucker for aesthetics, and that is my most aesthetic spot for photo shoots

This feels familiar. I lug my Lenovo laptop, the Logitech ergonomic mouse, aluminium laptop stand and external Keychron keyboard (thinking about buying the Q10 with Alice layout), mostly to have convenient setup on the go, not primarily for ergonomics. Carrying all this stuff plus the extra other things in the daily backpack is certainly not ergonomic, however I think about it as training for some long hikes.

I also use the LG DualUp display at home, like it very much. Similarly, my home setup has the rain design mStand next to it.

Now, if the espresso machine could be also carried with the computer setup..

The LG DualUp is such a gem!

You may be interested in one of my current projects, I’ll post details when it’s done, but I stripped down a Crossland CC1 and am rebuilding it in an enclosure I can travel with.

I think we’d get along.

Well, I don't the intention is to spend more time using the computer. When your work consists of using the computer, it is "rational" to do whatever is possible to minimize the undesirable effects and any harm. Now, if you are suggesting that OP should change his work (or his hobby) then your I don't think your comment is helpful. Regards.

The OP is a woman who uses she/her pronouns.

Their arms and neck hurt from computer use, so they develop elaborate setups to be able to use computers more.

I just hope the ingenuity will run out before their body reaches an unrecoverable state.

It’s a “yes and” approach. I’ve been pursuing physical therapy and medical treatment the whole time as well.

The imported files should really hurl their exported functions, and the importer needs to catch it into a variable.

That’s a great idea. I’ll have to do that for the next version.
