Flashing RGB light are legit the most annoying shit ever. I just have a black box for a case and my peripherals glow a dim solid color (so I can see them in the dark) if at all.
Nobody puts their RGB into flashing rainbow except for displays in shops.
Who only do it to show what kinds of colours you can choose.
It is so you can match the colour of every part to whatever you like. Without the manufacturer having to determine colours beforehand.
I used to have a cheap mechanical keyboard that has side rainbow RGB panels that can’t be turned off. I thought that would be turned off when I turn off the backlight. Nope.
Oh you sweet summer child.
gestures at my entire uni classroom, in which nearly all the people I know have RGB peripherals and computers at home
People absolutely “do”. Mostly because they cannot be bothered to change the default setting or because they are teenagers and actually like it
I largely mean flashing in general, it’s all just distracting to me. Also most people I know personally actually like the rainbow madness. Even if they try to match their keyboard and mouse, they’ll still often have a unicorn box. They also love putting their rainbow tower on top of the table, I really don’t get it. A friend’s uncle even has a case the height of a table, like bro… Is there no end to this?
I only have one monitor… It’s an ultra wide.
🤮
how does it feel to be wrong!!!
I upvoted both of you :)
Did you iron out all your question marks?
Yes i like to keep tidy ty for noticing :>
This checks out.
I’m not a SWE ( though kinda code monkey anyways) and it’s 2 monitors no rbg (just all black thinkpad, keyboard backlight disabled)
Hah, jokes on you, I have an ultra wide.
Which is basically two monitors without any separator in the middle.
Yeah I went from 1 32" 1440p and two 1080p side monitors to just a single 4k 43" and I’m saying that the time of multi monitor setups has come to an end.
Ooh, the thinest of bezels: none.
34” 5k2k ultrawide as main monitor and a 27” 4k in portrait for documentation.
Have a 27" 1440 in portrait for a side monitor. Best decision I ever made with my monitor set up.
once you go two ultrawides you will enter a new realm of existence.
Side by side or stacked on top?
Stacked on top, and vertical orientation since we’re not doing Java here!
Side by side most of the time. I put them on arms so I can move them around and swivel them. It’s ridiculous having two 34" Ultrawides. But, I can. So I Do. I also run a 3rd 40" 4k display when I need it or want to sit further back.
Six vertical ultrawides is the only way.
I just made the switch from 3 24 inch monitor to a single 49 inch super ultrawide. It’s basically 3 monitors with no bezels. A lot of things are annoying though like full-screening videos/games but there are workarounds.
My biggest problem with 4k and ultra wide monitors is screen sharing (like on zoom/teams/WebEx etc).
Most people still have 1080p screens at best, so when someone with a 4k or ultra wide shares their screen, it’s really tough to see what’s going on.
My main display is a 4k TV, but if I have to share, I’m sharing a window, or one of my auxiliary (1080p) screens.
I’ve resorted to just sharing my laptop screen. You can also use picture by picture to get split displays which are easier to share.
I have a rainbow computer with only one monitor. Am I not a software engineer?
Software engineer with smol pp
Please don’t share such secrets in a public forum.
34+ inch ultra wide screens get a pass.
Naah, just a 27 inch regular monitor.
Mate get yourself a second one, you’ll never go back

Well of course, my screens are in front of me.
Unless it’s one of those ultra wides, how do you get any work done if you can only see one screen worth of code and things that help the code?
Maybe, I am not that good of a software engineer. Probably, why I don’t get jobs, despite thinking that I did well for the interview?
It’s the only possible explanation
Two headsets ago I bought a G933 from Logitech, mainly because it had an AUX input on the USB-dongle which I thought was pretty neat, but that one had big unnecessary RBG strips on the sides of the earpiece. The most ridiculous usage of RGB I had seen till date. But I programmed an interface between CSGO and the RGB on the headset to indicate my health so the people watching from behind us at a lan could see it.
Anyway, I’ve always preferred white LED’s and RGB can rarely replicate pure white.
Only 2 monitors? Them be rookie numbers, need to get them up
3 is good
At a previous job I had, we were only given options for 1080p monitors. I ended up with a total of 5 and needed all of them.
I think I started on a single 640x480 CRT. Professionally. My actual first computer was 320x200. Now I’m on dual UHD + laptop screen.
Professionally similar; 1024x768 here (might have had an 800x600 laptop or thereabouts).
But when people today complain about how how anything less than 4k x 60fps on some game is unplayable, I remember playing Doom in 320x200 on a 14" monitor, and still having to shrink the screen into an even tinier window, so I could get 10fps.
I remember in high school when I started running my monitor in 1024x768 and felt like I was a legit professional programmer.
5 here
It’s a shame some of the better components have baby-sensory RGB lights tacked on. I’d have bought my parts plain if that was a convenient choice.
Oh also
mmmaaadddeee wwwiiittthhh mmmeeemmmaaatttiiiccc
I had my PC built for me while all i had to do was specify parts, tried to get fans with no light just to avoid this, got the almost exact model but with lights.
Now if i use my PC at night my room glows pink (not for any particular reason besides it being the most dominant in my rainbow led fans)
It’s not even controllable RGB? Just shitty rainbow all the time?
There’s an extra device which is required to control them, yes i already tried the bios.
Basically yes, rainbow, at least it’s not rotating and is just a static rainbow circle.
When I moved from the office to home I changed to a single monitor… And I have never missed the other one. I mean, I’m not a software engineer, so YMMV.
But do you have a rainbow keyboard?
Solid red cause I’m a cheepskate, but my mouse is flies the 🌈
Also thanks team, downvotes for saying I like having one monitor lmao
No, I don’t have useless LEDs in my computer. My gaming rig is actually in a flat black case that blends in with the furniture.
Except my employer shipped me a dev box with a big polycarbonate window and an unnecessarily beefy GPU with RGB LEDs that dance by default. 🤦
If it’s actually controllable, and not just hardwired on, openrgb is your friend.
If I already don’t give a shit, why would I bother?
Because it seems like you disliked them and “off” is one of the controllable options?
But I guess you are at a so advanced level of not giving a shit that you don’t even care that they dance around.Not only is the box under my desk with the window facing the wall, you are correct, I wouldn’t give a shit if it weren’t. I was simply noting the irony of my “professional” equipment being the most frivolous.
I wonder if anyone has studied the rate of cosmic ray-induced bit flips in a PC with a side window case vs. an all metal one.
It’s an interesting question, but realistically inconsequential.
Do you mean that you think bit flips are inconsequential, or that the rate of bit flips is inconsequential?
The rate for your home PC is inconsequential, and the difference between a thin sheet of metal and lexan would have an inconsequential impact.
But flips are not inherently inconsequential. Coincidentally, a lot of my current work involves making sure we are not adversely affected by cosmic bit flips in safety-critical hardware.
The rate for your home PC is inconsequential,
Please don’t make assumptions about my data integrity needs.
But thanks for clarifying what you meant.
Where’s your ECC?
If you have real data integrity needs, you shouldn’t be relying on off-the-shelf home PC parts. There’s real hardware and software for such applications.
Your basement is safe enough from cosmic rays for your personal needs.
The blinky lights make it compile faster!
I’m getting older but nah, fuck it, I like RGB lighting in my build. I have a cool mostly open case with a glass front that you can wall mount Pretty sure it’s an older version of this thing. if not it’s a very similar setup and making all my components glisten red or react to explosions in an FPS just feels cool to me.
I turn down the brightness though cuz holy shit they come set to 2x the sun by default
Same. I also have one of the older models in that family of cases. I love the thing but need to put in a water cooling loop.
I have a Dell laptop. That probably explains why I’m such a shitty programmer.
They don’t get it, RGB equals performance!
No it does not.
Red is for performance. Green energy saving. Blue is not important for this argument.
And if it goes 16 bazzilion colors it is even more BS and nothing.Goes magenta and you start going Bi. Next on? Pink - full gay mode. And as soon as you go white - back to straight again.
It might cause brain damage in the long term. Wear your socks guys.
Jesus, my friend cycles between mechanical efficiency and sexual orientations like a clown in a stripper juggling show. Now I know why!
Blue makes it run cooler. smh people these days don’t know anything about computer
How a cool computor is relevant for sexual cycling?
