thud oh sorry, brb..... my mouse just slid off my table.
You would probably want a wired mouse for this one... maybe it could work like a bungee?
Or a trackball mouse that's secured in place.
For when you really need to post on Lemmy from the dentist's chair.
Good luck getting up to pee.
Plenty of places to hang a catheter
they make these things called condom catheters
I wish I didn't know what words are.
it's not a sounding tool, it's a "i have significant trouble getting or staying up, or significant trouble with urinary continence, or both: and have a penis, and do not want to use a traditional catheter" tool. dad used them when he was dying and losing control of (all of) his muscles so he wouldn't wet the bed at night at 65. it's basically a condom that, instead of having a little bubble for semen at the end, it has a non-inserted catheter, so you can urinate into it. they make at-home catheter management a lot easier, as foleys only safely last a month to my knowledge.
But the desk blocks me from accessing my penis????
You can't see it so you probably wouldn't be aware of its existence
There's a peripheral for that.
This is a poorly designed masturbatorium
Nap?! This is not the place for a nap
the startup i worked for got bought by a mega corp. They taught us devs how to use some intranet forms to order things we needed like keyboards and mice. These items would get approved or rejected by the engineering manager and it was pretty straightforward.
I put a request into the system for one of these (well one very similar, the Scorpion) thinking my boss would see the $50k request and jokingly refuse it.
What i did not know was that any request over a certain dollar amount triggered a review, by sending the request to my bosses boss. And over ANOTHER amount it did it again. I got a talking to but it was worth it to imagine the face on some VP seeing a dev try to order a $50k chair
I bet they were laughing too before pretending to be mad
yeah, i bet they were trying to think of ways to reject it for op but approve it for themselves
Why isn’t this the standard?
Because the mouse falls off the table the second you start typing.
trackball mouse solves this probelm, been using one for years and it's a game changer for weird setups like this lol
Magnetic mouse?
A trackball mouse attached to the desk is the obvious solution. Velcro would work.
I don’t think people realise that these setups (less exaggerated) are usually for disabled or chronically ill people unable to sit up.
So me on a Wednesday morning after a questionable amount of moonshine the night before?
For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.
You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.
That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.
That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it's 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.
But, what I'm curious about... how is this a "shoes on" occasion?
Can get a dental cleaning during meetings, awesome
Put a big hole in that incline and your proctologist can do their thing too!
Buddy I just did that today from my bed threw the laptop aside and slept 30 minutes more. Luckly I don't use my cam for meetings.
