This was literally how I was sitting when I read this.
I stand most of the time. I have a wobble board which helps - standing in one place isn’t possible. I’ve been interested in a treadmill for a while, but they make it hard to do anything else and sometimes I want to sit or lean back.
I have a barstool I put on the treadmill for breaks. Just comfy enough for a rest but you’ll still find yourself wanting to stand up again after a while. And so far I haven’t accidentally turned the treadmill on while sitting.
Yeah, I’m guilty. I put the shoe on top of a small drawer under the desk and my spine has never thanked me for it
I am just reading this on my laptop, sitting on a bed in shrimp-like shape with laptop (a ThinkPad of course) on top of egg carton (called Eggsbox 360 based on The Two Ronnies skit) which is on top of a pillow while listening to music from a CD being played on an e-waste sourced 5.25" DVD drive attached via SATA to USB that can only reliably load CDs (perhaps because the USB provided power is less than half max spec of 2A) and accessing the internet via USB cellular modem using cheap IoT SIM that has broken (not applied) throttling (instead of 64/32kbps).
IoT SIM that has broken (not applied) throttling (instead of 64/32kbps).
I wonder how did you do that
I did nothing. After using either the default 200MB or the 80MB I pay for it’s supposed to be throttled, but that kinda just… doesn’t happen. I activated a 2nd SIM of those yesterday, same thing. The most I used in a month was some 28GB (out of 80MB), getting me as much as 150Mbps in cities covered by LTE-A from Telekom (this SIM can connect to Telekom, Orange and O2).
Though I just went back to my previous carrier and keep this as a backup. The second SIM I put into a USB modem. May come in handy if I finally decide to try Tailscale.
Searching around, I found someone with the same “issue” for a different provider on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/ntul3w/unlimited_data_sim_for_only_45year/
Also a one that was meant to have 64kbps unlimited, but it just… wasn’t throttled. But based on one comment they fixed it later which I assume will happen here too. Almost 4 months so far though.
But perhaps they just don’t care that much. Based on ToS I can be charged extra €1.30/GB (excl. VAT) since I use permanent roaming, and perhaps I will as it is defined as >50% of usage in EU roaming for the past 4 months. Maybe they just rely on that to kick in…? Also the data warning states “…may be probably temporarily restricted.”, which is just so oddly phrased.
But most likely scenario, someone just fucked up the config.
I found yet another such fuck up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/c6ilbp/bought_the_new_15gb_international_data_pass_didnt/
Dude used up 24GB out of 15GB high-speed data pass.
It can happen both ways though. My current carrier accidentally (I hope) set the limit to half the one stated in ToS. This was reversed already. I assume it was an accident, because they plainly stated the incorrect limit in SMS as well.
My neck, my back, and weirdly my right knee, are fucking pissed at me today. My penis and crack are good though at least.
My back hurts when I see a colleague on a zoom meeting sitting like that cat.
No no they’re not “wrong,” they’re slouched in defeat because someone stole their keyboard, mouse, and desktop, leaving them with only a 1280x760 DVI monitor.
not so fast, pal! DVI is perfectly fine!
SHRIMP POSTURERERS RISE UP!
I tried but mah back!! 😵

I have the opinion the best quality chair one can find is as important as the best computer one can use
I agree. When you’re spending a third of your day on the thing it’s worth investing in.
(says the guy with no proper chair)
Needs more testicles hanging out the side of the boxers.
I’m the first one. I wish I knew why but whenever I try and sit anything like the second diagram I’ll get neck and back pain all day. I have hypotonia tho so maybe it’s that?
My neck wishes this weren’t so true.
And my back
And my pussy
And my crack
My cat let’s me know that I’m slow because of my bad posture every time I feed it too…
And my axe
How about with a friend?
Get ur cams out my office.
Legend. We have the same shoes and socks. I’m not sexy enough for white pants though, i might need to create a language or two before I can do that.
It was the 90s… rules were different then ! I still have my white pants deep in the closet somewhere… they haven’t seen the light of day in a while though :)
I worked at Bell Labs back when this photo was taken - my office pretty much looked exactly like this, chair, furniture, Sun SPARCStation on the floor…
Bjarne still rocks white pants sometimes to this day though ! And the same haircut - he really committed to the look :)
There are only two kinds of haircuts: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody has.
How is there not a thin sheen of Cheeto dust or kebab juice over any of that. What kind of madman is this?
a norwegian.
A man of culture. One of a kind
Good luck reaching for the keyboard
Place the keyboard on your lap.
Two CRT monitors. What a lad.
When a mother fucker has TWO CRTs, you know they’re ballin’.
You’ll never catch them wearing them fake Jays.
Not no more I don’t, get a stool it will save your back, I’m serious.
I’m having luck with floor sitting as well, though that’s might not work as well if you’re stuck in an office.
