    I can see the appeal of the screen, but would want it pretty strictly limited to the time, calendar events, and maybe something like what Spotify song I'm playing at the moment. Products like Tidbyt (https://tidbyt.com/) do a cool job at this sort of thing as well. That said, my big concern when seeing products like this is what happens if the company making it goes out of business and shuts off their servers. Presumably the screen in my desk would become useless as I'm nearly certain there must be some kind of underlying cloud-based API for it to interface with to get data. Definitely a cool idea, especially in terms of smarter management of standing schedules and built-in power management, but the screen seems like a big potential failure point, and it would really suck to buy a beautiful desk like this and not be able to get super long-term (10-15+ years) use of it.
