Get a heated mouse (those exist), heated mouse/desk pad (those exist), heated chair(pad), heated footpad (often bought for animals), some IR thingy for the head

Get a heated mouse (those exist), heated mouse/desk pad (those exist), heated chair(pad), heated footpad (often bought for animals), some IR thingy for the head and you're covered. Any mask over your nose/mouth will retain a lot of warmth and humidity.
This is the same logic for electric cars where heat is expensive: conduction>>> convention. Heat the occupant(s) and not the air with heated steering wheels & heated seats. Some ICE gear shifter knobs would get warm from transmission conduction!
At one point in life, I had a heated mattress pad so I could turn the heat off a lot. I just ran it before I went to bed so it wouldn't be frigid when I got in. In the morning I'd just run into the shower and leave for the day. My place was western facing (in northern hemisphere) so I got a lot of afternoon sun and would return to a warm place in the afternoon.
- smeej 2y agoI'm not going to go through the list individually, but I can't use a mouse for ergonomic reasons (literally have bones where I shouldn't, so these are fairly unique ergonomic problems), and my laptop already doesn't ventilate very well, so I'm still a lot more interested in something very subtle, like a picture frame on my desk, that wouldn't make me look as weird as I'd look with half a dozen wired things in different places. It's not freezing in my workspace, just a few degrees cooler than I would like, and something inconspicuous like this seems like a great idea!
