Рабочее место мечты: сетапы, железо и технологии, которые меняют эргономику

Привет, Хабр! Я Денис Захаров — создатель станции E-station.За несколько лет мы прошли путь от первых прототипов, сваренных в гараже, до шоурумов в 20+ городов РФ и стран СНГ. В процессе познакомились с людьми и компаниями, которые делают крутые вещи: разрабатывают новые технологии в акустике, придумывают эргономичные клавиатуры и трекболы, делают ультратонкие мониторы (что то еще про них дописать).

Как грязные диски помогали спидранерам быстрее проходить классические игры

В спидране — скоростном прохождении игр — всегда находились энтузиасты, готовые искать преимущества не только внутри самой игры, но и в особенностях оборудования, на котором она работала.

Со временем находчивые игроки научились использовать такие особенности для экономии драгоценных секунд. Одна из самых необычных историй такого рода — прохождение SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom («Губка Б Read more
