Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

I received a monitor today it was not my old monitor, but instead a brand new replacement. Problem is, HORRIBLE GHOSTING... If I run the UFO ghost test I get a black shadow smear over half the width of the ufo spaceship, ghosting behind the spaceship. This makes any text whatsoever unreadable when any sort of motion happens on the monitor, be it from scrolling on a webpage (no matter what speed) or playing games. The blur/ghosting is the worst I have ever seen. It's ridiculous. Oh, and on this new monitor I can not set anything at 144hz, if it goes above 120hz I get massive artifacting and flickering on the bottom half of the screen.
I took a chance on Viotek. So far it's cost me a bit of time and money. And I've seen no return value. I am extremely disappointed and unsatisfied with this garbage. Can't even be used.
