Looking for a technical solution to share a desk with 2 monitors (feddit.nu)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/homeoffice

My girlfriend just moved in with me. We both work in tech and both work from home at the same time occasionally. We have one wide desk with a couple of monitors on it.

Whenever we switch between who gets to sit at the desk there are a lot of cables that have to be switched between devices and it looks a bit messy.

I would like to have a setup that would allow us to sit side by side at the desk and use one screen each.

I would like it to be as simple as plugging in a single USB-C cable and everything is set up (one for each side, that is).

The big ask is; I also want to be able to take control of both screens from a single computer whenever one of us is not working from home and the one who does has access to the whole desk.

I want to be able to switch between sharing 2 screens between 2 laptops and controlling both screens with that same computer. Switching should be quick and easy.

The problem is; All solutions I have found include getting something like 2 KVM switches and 3 USB-C docks and plugging them together in a funky configuration.

Not only is that a lot of tech for solving the problem, it is also very expensive.

Do you have any advice on how we could get this to work in a reasonable way? How would you solve it?

More natural sunlight in your office? (self.homeoffice)

Are there ways to get natural sunlight into your office?

You can open the windows but bugs can get inside then unless you have a window screen. However how do you know of your window screen is not blocking the sun rays? And is there a way to know if the sun rays are reflecting back onto you?

You could have an outdoor office but where I live, it can rain and get windy often which is not ideal for electronics, I dont want the wind to toss my keyboard around or rain to damage my laptop.

I do go for a run every day outside, but I want more sun light. Not direct sun light since I will either be inside or in the shade, but I do not want to be inside all day.

Any ideas to get the best of both worlds?
