Single ultrawide for everything. The ergonomics are superior.

Add Mercedes to that list of companies close to doing this

I hear ya - I’m recommending 1440p ultrawide, so the scaling will be the same as the other displays you are seeking.

I was like you and didn’t like curved TVs… but I have ultra wide curved displays at home/work, and this use case is awesome! Every part of the screen is about the same distance from my eyes. A typical 34” (3440x1440) is about the same pixel count as 2.5 1080p displays, but with no bezels to split the screen… so it’s perfectly centered. With separate displays I need to center one and set one way off to the side, or center the bezel split and need to always turn my head one way or the other. Webcam is centered. Cable management is easier (one power, one signal). Brackets are less bulky. Desk is cleaner looking.

You’ll get a little less area than 2x 27” 1440p displays.

I don’t know how important HDR is to you. I’ve always had good luck with Dell ultrasharp longevity. They have a 34” for $350.

Not very interesting story - in college, I was on the special events committee that brought talent to the campus for entertainment. Sometimes, I was able to meet the talent. We had the pop up video guys come do a talk, afterward they had dinner with the committee members. I ended up getting an invite to intern on the show… but totally blew it. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a total idiot, or just didn’t know how to interview yet. Probably a little of both!

Sure, but I think there’s still benefit to what the other person did. Search DDG by default, and then if you don’t see good results, it’s one extra click for the google search… vs mousing, clicking, 2 keystrokes…

Hypothetically, ask AI to write a short story in the style of one of these writers. Don’t tell anyone. Get popular, reduce demand for original writer. People only have so much time, after all.

More likely, they just want to be compensated for their “voice”.

Not advocating for either of these… just thinking about why

Perhaps there’s a way to do this via hotspot, but I meant tether via physical connection to the router. Some routers do offer failover to secondary networks. Possibly with qos to prevent scarfing, as you put it ;)

They mean using something with a cellular radio. A router, or a tethered cellphone.

Can you elaborate? Every recently published game I’ve played has had this option.

Rock and roll my friend

“Slightly”

I’m not being skeptical!

Yeah, I’m content with who I am.

Your assumption regarding my goal is wrong though. I took care to explain my thoughts in a way that didn’t deny the possibility outright. No worries if you missed that, or are skeptical.

I think most can agree (even if you don’t) that the chances of this are just wild. That itself was interesting enough to me that I chose to type out 2 comments. I’m told commenting/contributing is the point of being on lemmy?

Anyway, I don’t know who pissed in your wheaties, but I hope your day improves from here.

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s impossible, just incredibly unlikely.

The number of people out there that fit the description of your mother is low.

The number of people that could have intelligently answered the question is a bit higher, but still low.

The likelihood of those 2 people meeting in a store not dedicated to computer tech, and having this exact conversation, is like… monkeys playing Mozart level unlikely. ;)

I don’t have any reason to not trust OP, but the likelihood of this conversation happening at ALL seems incredibly unlikely. Never mind that it is described as successful.

If true, this is amazing.

Neil Young doesn’t want you to remember the Pono either!

Why?

I’m surprised that was enough - don’t underestimate a kids ability to make their own pixie dust out of whatever they have around. Now there’s plant soil and sugar on the floor too.
