You have one monitor yes, but what about second monitor?

When you have two monitors, is your head always turned to one side? That always hurts my neck, so I wind up with the second monitor relegated to the side, where I never actually look at it.

When I had five monitors, they each had a job. Front of me were two ultrawides on top of each other, the one directly in front of me was for 'the action' as it could handle "two screens" worth of info next to each other.

The ultra wide above was mainly dedicated to various chat programs (teams, telegram, iMessage, etc).

The laptop's screen to the left was my mail screen (both home and work).

To the right was a 4k on its side, for documentation reference or output work.

And above the laptop was a "scratch" monitor for whatever was needed (often a music player, etc).

You quickly get used to glancing at what you need and moving on; if something needs more attention it's easy to bring it front and center or turn your chair.

Power fluctuations took out the ultrawides and one of the 4ks so now I just have one supermegaultrawide with a 4k above it (still laptop for mail, "above" for chat, and main for main things).


This is why ultrawides are very comfortable, you can focus on the center region where 2x monitors likely have their edges meeting.

I repurposed a 43” 4K TV as a monitor. The thing I’m working on goes roughly in the middle, everything else is sprawled out wherever.

Which? I like this idea.

It is an older $299 Toshiba Fire TV that isn’t powerful enough to stream 4K content smoothly. Displays 4K@60Hz fine over HDMI fine.

Wouldn’t recommend it, but I already had it.


Ah. Got it. Thanks!

I do this too, and just put less-important stuff on the second monitor. Work chat, music, logs, whatever.

I have three monitors. The left and right are turned vertically. They're all 30". So the main screen is in the center and I keep slack/email/web browser with docs/info on the left and usually Twitch DJs or Spotify on the right. So usually I'm looking forward but I look left briefly throughout the day.

Why would your head always be turned to one side? Have one monitor in the middle (the main one) and secondary either left or right. Having split screen right in the middle of my field of view is ridiculously unpleasant

I have a rotating chair (normal desk chair) and I rotate the whole chair to look at the other screen If I need to look at it for more than one second.

The proper setup is 3 monitors: [ stdout ][ stdin ][ stderr ]

Guess we're no short of reasons to stick to Codex.


Friendly reminder that there aren't that many ways for a normie to create their own (sub)domain with TLS and an email in under five minutes. That's cPanel for ya.


The alternatives to cpanel would mostly be all-in-one hosting providers like 'squarespace' or similar, which have rolled their own web GUI to automate a basic normie workflow of domain registration, putting basic DNS records in a zone, hosting the DNS, getting TLS certs, putting basic content on a httpd. It's interesting to see the "set up your small business website now!" advertising to totally non technical people.


Yes, there are many ways to do that now, in under 5 minutes. Cloudflare will set all of that up just fine. GSuite is much easier to set up than CPanel.


"App is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the bin."

That's the state of not paying money for software.


This is what happens when you buy a camera from the "they trust me, dumb fucks" guy and put it on your face.


But aren't the users wearing glasses while nude or having sex dumb fucks though?


I can imagine there's a use case for these glasses during sex. It would make for pretty exciting footage :)

These users probably didn't know where it would end up.


Very cool upgraded version. How noisy or hot does it get?


For years, Apple has muffled PWAs under a pillow. No one knows that you can add them to your homescreen or how that unlocks the possibility of getting push notifications. You also lose any stored data when you go from Safari to an homescreen web app.


I guess this is by intention since with a PWA you would have "near app experience" but for free?


That sounds likely


How do you add them? I am using https://actualbudget.org as a Safari page, and it works surprisingly well when "off network" - but a button on the home screen would be nicer.


Like this apparently - in 6 steps. I have a PWA app planned, I was hoping I could write some easy instructions for each platform. There's likely to be some drop of with iOS though if the user has to navigate through all of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1nlwu0m/it_now_take...

It's anti-competitive for sure


How do these compare to Apple's Foundation Models, btw?


So much better. Hard to quantify, but even the small Gemma 4 models have that feels-like-ChatGPT magic that Apple's models are lacking.


AFM had a 4096 token context window and this can be configured to have a 32k+ token context window, for one.


I just use Pixelmator Pro for a quick workflow. There's a nice feedback loop between taking the shot and editing it later.


Pixelmator Pro is great and affordable.
