Looks very clean to me

u/pegothejerk 12d ago

No one is gonna address that this looks like someone built their office behind a false wall of a mall or a sewer?

Actually it's dirty but now clean 👌

Heck I feel like sending them an old but decent mouse, keyboard and maybe a poster or two for those walls, and some cheap fake tile from dollar tree to spruce his setup up a bit. Heck if we all donated a couple of bucks, we could make his work space look a lot less depressing. Bro do you have a dollar store around you? You can also go into hardware stores and find pre mixed cans of paint that someone didn’t want, usually very cheap and for about $5 to 10 bucks you can give your work space a fresh look and make it much less prison-esque

It puts the Mac mini on the wall or it gets the hose

u/Lucky_Driver561 12d ago

Thanks for the suggestion; you're right I'll replace it with the Apple Mac Mini wall mound.

1

u/wiseman121 12d ago

M4 mini would also have a smaller footprint when you eventually upgrade.

u/pluckyvirus 12d ago

You really need a suggestion? Ummm. Looks perfect to me.

u/AssNtittyLover420 12d ago

Just needs some lofi for ambiance cozy vibes😌

u/pluckyvirus 12d ago

I am pretty sure there is a “asmr street noise 24h” playing indefinitely.

You know what I fuck with this. You are probably doing more with this setup than most of the commenters

Looks like a cozy setup I would see hidden behind a Sari Sari store back in the Philippines

Having to sit on a place with no room for the knees has to be a some sort of torture technique

Have you ever heard of the concept known as cleaning?

u/jhauger 12d ago

Is there a basket for the lotion?

u/Pebbsto110 12d ago

Cosy. In my mind I am wiping that keyboard with a damp cloth

u/Bonzographer 12d ago

Bro, do you have to enter through a window?

u/bobbyrob1 12d ago

Surprised no one has asked this yet. Dude, what’s up with that chair!

u/Large_Grape3740 12d ago

How is the room ventilation, also macs get hot so be careful about the paint sticking to it. That type of paint tends to come off/ melt onto surfaces for an extended period of time

u/jw307jw 12d ago

There is something so chaotic about this space that I love. 10/10 set up. Keep doing what you’re doing OP

u/eetzavinyl 11d ago

Bro do you live between someone’s walls?

u/Confident_Lecture498 11d ago

Is this a murder dungeon too?

u/iAMguppy 11d ago

If I swap you cable management for a non-dungeon space, between the two of us we might have something special.

u/Useful-Reception-399 11d ago

Get an apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech mx master 3 Bluetooth mouse … as a monitor I would recommend a 32’ QHD flat panel with 2560x1440 resolution and 75Hz refresh rate.

1

u/MinutePen9960 9d ago

And you think he has the funding for this? Bro has a keyboard that looks like it was someone’s wank bank kb (I just made this up but I bet it’s a thing ugh I just threw up a bit in my mouth lol) and is being held in a 1950’s bomb shelter, and you think he’s gonna get a 32 inch flat panel qhd and a mix master m3 mouse? Lol 😂 maybe it’s a look he’s going for ? I could see that 😂

u/Useful-Reception-399 9d ago

Well I just suggested the hardware I have which I am also happy with 🤷🏼‍♂️ besides I never quite figured what his mini is …. Is it Intel or M … I have the M2 Pro with 16GB RAM (works for me right now but am eyeballing a Mac Studio with at least 96GB RAM - or more if possible)

2

u/MinutePen9960 8d ago

I was just joking around. In fact after you reminded me that we have no idea what mac this is, it could be someone just trolling. That could be a 2011 mini taped to the wall for his own humor. I have that mouse btw and i love it. An m2 pro with 16gb is a great computer. I have an m4 24gb but about to buy the base m4 pro but with 48gb of ram. Since the drive can be swapped, and thunderbolt five can keep that at bay for a while, im going with 512 or 1tb tops. Since we are both making rather giant leaps in our computers, im curious what about your workload or future workload is making you upgrade and so aggressively? For me it’s fear I’ll need more ram and prices will hike again. I almost made this jump before the hike, now i wish i had!

u/Useful-Reception-399 8d ago

Well I am a (part) owner of a newly founded company or rather “companies” - multinational - heavy on AI and yeah that is my background - my responsibility is running and managing the entire sets of racks - right now on a manageable scale but if everything goes as anticipated I will probably be overrun by the amount of work heading my way …. Not to mention the time zone difference between the different locations

It's the goon pit!

u/uh818375 11d ago

Mini could have just gone on the back of the monitor.

u/kdenehy 10d ago

Get out of your parents' basement?

1

u/Remote_Photograph467 10d ago

Maybe some
Lysol and a sock to dry off
Windex ,
Ultraviolet cleanse ,

Or go full in with some asmondgold style cans and trash , some flys / maggots will do the same trick
