Re: yum - Dell’s UltraSharp U2723QE - 18 days ago

That OLED provides a sweet picture, no denying that. I have a 65" in my living room and love the hell out of it. Any problems with burn-in using it as a computer display? Quoteanonymouse1 Tip of nose to center of screen, 23.5". Tip of nose to corner of screen, 30.5". I'm nearsighted, so that's a distance that's comfortable for me.

How far back from the display do you sit? Quoteanonymouse1 I thought I read they're going to bring it out as a monitor, but I may be mis-remembering. And different strokes for different folks. I've been working on a 40-43" TV/monitor for 3 years now, and for me, it's a life saver. At times, cuts my worktime by 75% (multiple documents on screen simultaneously) QuoteN-OS X-tasy! That'

Re: liberal nut with a gun arrested for wanting to kill Kavanaugh - 18 days ago

QuoteRacer X Quotepdq I think this is going to be an interesting case. The guy turned himself in before he committed the crime. Did he threaten Kavanaugh beforehand? Did he have the gun illegally? Did he conspire with anyone? Obviously troubled; we know his original intent. But if I decide I want to murder someone, and the bus doesn’t come on time, and I reconsider and call 911 (like

QuoteSpeedy I must admit, VP Pence’s hanging would have been a sight to behold. You would do well to remember Pence played a very large role in ensuring the worst did not come to pass. I'm no Pence fan, but in a matter as serious as this was credit must be given where it is due.

Quoteanonymouse1 It's a reasonable price. But if I'm going that high, I might think about the LG 42" OLED.... That's a TV, though, not a monitor. There are always compromises in using a TV as a computer display. Not to mention I don't think I could stand having a 42" display on my desktop.

Re: Some of the features you luddite Intel using Mac users won't see in macOS Ventura - 18 days ago

What MacOS really needs is a Snow Monterey release. I'm sick and tired of Apple maintaining an annual cycle for major OS updates with the focus always being on adding new features (more emojis!) instead of fixing existing bugs. I was the type of user who religiously updated with each new major OS X release, but that stopped after Snow Leopard. Lion, Yosemite, Sierra, Catalina... each of these

Given the improvement in contrast and the number of ports provided, I don't think the price is unreasonable, especially for an UltraSharp monitor.
