I know youāre from Germany - did you take a look at Backforce Chairs yet? I have one of them, and I totally love it - especially the synchro mechanism is a wonderful thing to have. Itās not cheap, but itās manufactured in Germany and the quality is really good.
The other chair I use for gaming is the Recaro, which is even a bit better in quality but lacks the synchro mechanism - itās an amazing chair, but a bit expensive

That quantifier is redundant isnāt it?
To me German means quality and precision 
You could have just said
āget a Backforce chair, itās German madeā

I think usually, thatās kinda right
But another big plus for me is that the people who build this chair are paid a fair wage and that the company is actually still a family-run business - doesnāt neccessarily lead to better quality, but I like to support such things as well

Yes! Iām tempted to buy it. It looks so good, but then it also doesnāt look to good posture wise.
Itās not very configurable right?
But I agree itās one of the more ethical choices, which is a big plus.
In that budget range, Iād rather buy a new Hermann Miller Embody.
Actually Iāve just written to someone selling a used embody for half the original price, because it has ugly scratches. Iāll see if I can snag that, if I donāt find another good used deal Iāll probably get a backforce.
I have read some bad things about them, idk maybe I should igve that one another lookā¦
I have the One Plus, and I can configure it perfectly - maybe Iām just lucky, but I fit into that chair really well. There are several things you can adjust, so I think if youāre not extraordinarily tall or small, it should be okay
One thing I like a lot about that chair is that I can adjust the seat depth - really nice if youāre not so tall.

How strong are the armrest of the Aeron?
When shifting positions, i usually push myself up on the armrests. Can they support an average human?
and a PollThe best answer I can give you is: go out and try it. I went to an HM reseller here in Czechia, and I spent about two hours trying different chairs and talking to the sales rep there. It was a really good experience. I bet they do this worldwide, so just find your local HM seller and go try it out
But to give you a personalized answer: It might be a bit weird, but I actually lift almost my full weight when changing positions (you know, I get my butt up by lifting myself up with my hands on the armrests; btw I have ~104 kg) and it never even moved. On the other hand, as I sit/stand up/move, I occasionally move the armrests a bit (they can be extended or rotated without any locking)ā¦so itās really hard to quantify 
Simply put, the armrests are not a problem for me.
And by the way, it took me about 2 weeks to love the Aeron; at the beginning, my back was hurting a bit, I wasnāt sure which position to sit in exactly (how to correctly set up the chair, etc), but then I got used to it and maaaaan itās a big step up from the Ikea Markus which I had before.
Sorry about that. It very likely was the week I had no phone as I broke the screen of my normal phone.
I did say I was logging off. I think 
I mean yeah, mostly. Still getting hurt often enough.
I miss being here. It has made trying to figure the flipper out of my own a bit interesting.
My apologies again. I logged in quick to update everyone that Iām alive and okay.
Also, I now am fully a stay at home dad, so I try hard to not pick up my phone, as I am back to no computer on hand.
Between a 3 year old, and the past 2 injuries I had. (See pic above for my most recent) I am just busy.
I will log back in today or tomorrow, but I gotta also attend to my puppy who is in heat.

Glad to have you back, even if it is just a fleeting visit.
I take that back, I donāt need another person reminding me they ready have their Flipper and have been playing with it, and mine hasnāt even been sent yet
That sounds so wrongā¦

Just quick question for hid prox gurus
I noticed that the individual code is printed in our badges, and so far all the other ones Iāve looked at (same security level) have the same facility code
Is facility code actually used for anything, or most likely the same for all users?
Iām guessing it depends on how they implemented it, but just curious if thereās common practices
Facility code is usually specific to your facility (although worldwide I am sure there are overlaps). The idea being that everyone in one facility has the same facility code, so if their user id matches one in a different facility they still canāt get in.
I meanā¦ I would expect it
Itās a 2 digit FC and a 4 digit ID
I was just curious if anyone if the same company would have a different FC, because if not I can just visually read the 4 digit ID off the card on the back lol
Most likely would be the same, unless the company has no clue what they are doing (My company for instance). In my company, HR adds badge access, and us in IT just have access ājust in caseā. Well, HR ran out of badges and just blindly ordered more badges from our security company. They sent us ones with different Facility Codes. So now we have to select āOld Badge Formatā and āNew Badge Formatā when typing in card numbers and giving access. Luckily, Iām now in charge of ordering the badges and ordered the correct ones for the last purchase we did a few months ago.
Gotcha,
I just wondered how FC was used
They seem to partially know how to fine tune the systemā¦ as it knows whoās badges are for what shift and wonāt let you in more then an hour before your shift or or days you donāt work
Wondered if that was part of it
Looking at the server stats, nothing stands out.
infact, the number of logged in users is slightly down over the preceeding 4 days.
