What’s gis? Cos apparently I’m one.
Geographic Information Systems aka digital mapping aka fancy databases
Wut….?
Im so confused
If geography is a way to bridge the natural and social sciences, a GIS is basically a tool for combining unlike, often large scale datasets that are hard to compare otherwise. A GIS allows people to see where things occur in time and space and analyse those relationships.

As a GIS tech, there’s one missing - the laptop next to an ultrawide. Optional normal monitor to the side :P
But yes, as a former weather forecaster, the 4 in a square is insane and unfortunately it was necessary on bad weather days. At one of my locations, we also had the PC hooked up to a television running behind us and had a separate real time data monitor to the side. So… Yeah.
One of us. In my old job I ran two gaming rigs for processing on a KVM switch. GIS is all about the rig. Only need one or two screens lol. 13 btw lmao.
Mental illness is almost all of finance. That checks out 100%.
Which one is most common for finance?
8,11 16
When I was in college I worked a data entry job at an investment advisor firm. One of the financial planners had #8 as their setup.
tbf number 8 could be used for security too
GIS as in geographic information systems?
Gastro-intestinal system
Girls in socks
I’m not even on the chart
Those characters in your desktop seem awfully gleeful at your future neck ache.
My bed is right behind this picture and I sometimes lie down and turn right to look at the main monitor. Turning left-up balances it.

I ain’t moving this has been my setup for 2 years at this point
Lmg, the top one is for playing music off YouTube?
It’s for messaging. I put Matrix and Discord over there. Chat and OBS also goes there when I stream.
So all I do is occasionally look over at it. It’s not really a problem for my neck.
Look, I’m not here to GIS anything. That’s my pinball monitor.
Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.
- App
- App submenus and subwindows
- Redlines/markups/notes
- Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.
Though I’d say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.
Like it says, mental illness.
I don’t do modeling or anything, but don’t workspaces (virtual desktops) work better? Mostly to avoid moving your head so much around 4 screens. I would think so anyway but i dunno
I work with redlines and you need to have them open on another screen while you’re making edits unless you like torturing yourself.
You can print out redlines and look at pen and paper markups which works great but it has negatives like printing a set of 20 page 22x34 drawings can be costly to plot and annoying to go through sheet by sheet
8 is just CCTV cameras
Since then I’ve upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.
Dragon theme -> hoarde of monitors. Checks out.
Super nice looking setup.
My KVM is the best piece of technology I’ve purchased. That’s an impressive KVM to run that setup.
What’s wrong with #8? Looks like a normal trader setup to me.
My setup is off the charts, tho, as usual.
Aren’t traders supposed to be mentally ill?
The keyboard position of 3 and 13 implies that one would stare directly at the gap where the monitors meet. I hope nobody does that.
I do it :(
I have one thats not represented here. Im fairly sure it belongs on the lower right.
Your office needs some art good goddamn, sick set up though.
<sploosh>
Lets be real, 4 and 8 are “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers” 99% the time in practice.
I’m none of these. I have two normal and one rotated 90 degrees for the odd legal sized document that gets scanned in. When I was doing a lot of data entry in one of my jobs, it helped.
