each chat/social network represents a different tier of intimacy with a person. i am mutuals with a lot of people on IG who i’d never give my number to, and i chat with them occasionally.

if my consumer products company, out of nowhere, made two series of top performing chips at different price points, i’d also want to put them everything

im really picky when it comes to resolution scaling since i do some design, so i have to use an integer scale. 5k gives me a 1440p monitor’s worth of screen real estate at twice the sharpness.

27" fits more comfortably on my desk with a laptop mounted too. 220ppi is just nice to have.

holy price but the xdr being 5k 27" miniled 120hz is kind of my perfect monitor

i dont think any journalist, especially a technology journalist, should be using AI summaries in any capacity as part of their research. i’m glad he owned up to it but this should be a career damning event.

if you can afford the hardware, getting something dedicated like a JetKVM is nice because you don’t have to wait for VNC software to boot. since it acts like a monitor and keyboard, you can even enter BIOS with it. JetKVM sells an extension board that you could hook up to your server motherboard’s power buttons to turn it on/off too.

for fully software solutions, i like using apollo on the server and moonlight on the clients. it’s built for game streaming, but it works for remote desktop too. i have apollo and moonlight installed on a bunch of my devices anyways so this saves me from installing an additional client most of the time.

at one of my jobs a long time ago a copywriter had that extension on their work machine and published something like “upload files to my butt” to the official company site
