Wow, that's some interesting timing! Looking at this thing though, it doesn't offer any benefits to having a standing desk for my usecase. And the price, ouch!

I was kinda hoping someone would come along and say "ah, you need a set of these", but it looks like my best bet would be to either mount standing desk legs to the walls or just go for the standing desk option, which to be fair would seem to be the more sensible option of the two. Thanks to all for your input.

Thanks, that looks neat. In my case though, it won't be mounting to the wall at the back of the desk, but at the walls to the left and right sides of the desk.

I see. I suppose that could be a solution for some, but it's not what I'm looking for. Thanks in any case for the suggestion.

But, one would be in the way of the other. ?

Hi! As per usual, I find myself wanting something which seems to not be a standard thing. I've had my eye on height-adjustable desks for a while. But, I want one without legs. The room it would be placed in is about 2.5 meters wide anyway. I figure I don't need legs and just make a large desk surface and mount it to the walls on the sides. That's easy enough, but I would like to be able to adjust the height of it. Not even necessarily by a huge margin, like switching from regular desk height to standing desk height, but at the least I want to be able to finetune the height to what is comfortable for me, which may take some trial and error to figure out. I've searched online, but I guess I haven't figured out the appropriate search terms, because I'm not getting anything similar to what I have in mind, just basically desks with legs. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I have to agree, it was a lot of extra effort looking into what customs charges would be applicable, and contacting borderforce and all that. Aside from going to the post office, I think I also had to print something, which I hardly ever do. It was cumbersome, and it shouldn't be that way.

I want a him & her living room TV setup. Two screens, side by side, so my wife can watch whatever she wants to on her screen, while I game on mine, so we can enjoy our space together on the same couch and neither of us has to compromise with a laptop. Either of us could wear headphones, or both, or neither, depending on what we're doing and prefer at any given time. I want to hook up all media devices to both TVs, so that any of them can be used on either TV without having to have two of each device. The best option to accomplish this would probably be an HDMI matrix, but since those can be quite expensive I've been toying around in my mind with a janky solution of an HDMI splitter for each media device leading to two separate HDMI switches. I don't recall having seen a setup like this anywhere before, so I think this might be an interesting topic for a video. There are various little problems I can foresee potentially coming up, and the video could cover the struggles of solving those. For example, if you're using two identical TVs side by side, what is to stop them from both simultaneously responding to a remote control command that is only intended for one of them. Some TVs might have options for using alternative IR command sets, but what if they don't, then how would you work around this problem? Likewise, there might be issues when trying to use two wireless headsets with two TVs, but then again it could prove to be as simple as pairing once and forgetting about it. Anyway, I would love it if someone with the means of LTT could go out and test the validity of a setup like this, before I go and spend thousands of pounds on equipment to only end up crying.

They still haven't found a way to implement when to charge and not to charge VAT apparently. It's not a simple thing. They'll sort you out no problem at the support. Might just take a few days before they get around to you.

For backpacks, I think the following tariffs would apply for import to the UK. You might want to check if you can get money back from the UK. I got everything back when I contacted them regarding my order. I described the whole story earlier in this thread. https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/commodities/4202921100?country=CA In case you're in Northern Ireland, the following might apply. https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/xi/commodities/4202921100?country=CA

Is this little crab on the shipwreck supposed to be a nod to crab rave?

I think this all went straight over my head. If I understood correctly, a managed switch can be set up to be both the regular network and the VPN network. That might be an option for us. One of the reasons we're using a separate router for the VPN at the moment is to avoid certain devices from ever connecting to certain services without going through the VPN first. I don't know if there would be any risk of that happening when using a single switch for both networks. But I would still require multiple wireless access points with this solution it seems. Unless you also meant to set up the wireless access points doing double duty for two networks. If that is the case, then I have the same concern of the VPN temporarily dropping out causing devices to connect to services when they're not supposed to. Or would that not be a possibility?

Maybe this is a dumb idea, or maybe it's counter-intuitive, but I'm thinking about putting two WiFi access points in the living room and two bedrooms, meaning six access points in total. The reason for having two per room is that we use a setup with a VPN router which is convenient for media streaming purposes. So, some devices are in "this country" and some devices are in "another country". Actually, the real plan is to put two switches in each room, so whichever devices can be hooked up by cable can benefit from that, and then to connect the WiFi access points to those switches, but that is somewhat besides the point of this question. For wireless connectivity, in each bedroom there would only be a handful of devices making use of it, but in the living room a bit more. Currently I only have the ISP's router as one access point and a tiny little VPN router as the alternative access point, and they are both in the living room. The connectivity in the bedrooms upstairs can sometimes be lacking. I would like to get rid of WiFi issues once and for all for as much as is possible. What I'm wondering is if there are WiFi access points which don't blast their network over a large distance, but can instead be kept mostly confined within a particular room. I don't wish to annoy my neighbors by putting up six WiFi networks which all potentially interfere with their networks. And I would like to avoid my own networks interfering with each other of course. But I suppose maybe it could seem like there are only two networks in total, even though there would be six access points. I have no idea how that would work though. Any thoughts about the setup described above? Maybe suggestions for alternative solutions? Anyone know which access points might best suit these needs?

In other words, it's a mess all around.
