Workstation Rehaul (Advice Needed) (self.asklemmy)

Hello fellow lemmings!

Cross posted.

I am in need of some advice on how to expand my workstation.

I currently have 2 monitors and 2 laptops with 1 docking station that I switch back and forth between (I do have a second Bluetooth mouse that I connect to the laptop that is not currently connected to the docking station, if I need to).

I would like to have 4 monitors by the upcoming tax season. Also, I would like the option to expand to a total of 3 laptops within a couple years.

I have looked into KVM switches and the only one that I can find for 4 monitors and 2 computers is upwards of $800. Is there a KVM switch out there for 4 monitors and 3 computers, or is this just a pipedream?

What other solutions should I consider? When I expand to 3 computers in the upcoming years, would having 2 workstations be cheaper/more efficient?

I thought that was the point Americans allegedly wouldn't understand. Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed the error in a meme trying to make another culture looks like idiots.

Illegal in the USA, too. It is a rarely enforced law.

My Garfunkel does this every time he wants/receives pets. It's his routine and he is over 13.

I think TalkingCat is referring to the Chinese balloons that were recently spotted floating over the USA and into Canada, I believe. The Chinese government said they were merely weather balloons.

Maybe try specific types of flour? Bread flour, pastry flour, all purpose flour, etc ...

It's very "meh" in the U.S., too. I do not understand the infatuation.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy? in c/workreform

I love the "might HAVE to go out for drinks with the coworkers on the way home". This is my most dreaded fear.

Edit: and clothes/getting 'ready' (hair, makeup, underwear, etc.) is double time for women.

Made this a couple weeks ago for my cousin's birthday. This inside was 6 layers (also colored rainbow) with cherry filling and white buttercream.

(Crosspost - couldn't figure out how to post multiple pics. Guidance is welcome!)
