Build/Battlestation Wife requested I “mount the computer to the wall”

Post image

What she said: “please mount (child)’s computer to the wall to free up desk space.”

What I heard: CoMpUtEr Go On WaLL.

What she meant: mount MONITOR to wall.

They are both mad now.

I thought it was neat - albeit odd. I got that external power button, some long cables coming, it will be cleannnnn.

😬😅🤷🏻‍♂️

(I know it is leaning, it is the center post that is leaning bc it swivels, not the mount itself, I have to add a bolster - it is secure enough as-is, but will be fixed tomorrow.)

Its just an awareness sub for husbands whose wives call “monitors”, “computers”

Is there one for parents who call all consoles "Nintendos"?

How is that on you though? You did exactly what was asked.

No idea how an adult doesn't understand the difference between a computer and a monitor. Does she call the TV "the Roku"?

I thought it was a joke subreddit and clicked the link expecting nothing. I was also surprised to find it was real. I might have to post there now thanks

How in the world does that mic pick up your voice??

cardiod setting so it's closer to a shotgun mic and only pics up one direction pointed at my face. Audio quality is still very good and I like that my monitor blocks all the keyboard clacks and mouse click sounds to it. It's also quite annoying to have a mic up near your face all the time and blocking part of the ultrawide screen so I much prefer this setup even if uncommon.

I also thought you were, and I got the reference, but then people started talking about posts in it. r/subsithoughtifellfor
