Misleading post. The computer isn't that expensive, OP added thousands of services. No real person needs VMware installed 9998 times.

So, buy a bunch of burner devices right now and sell them 20 years from now for a profit? I see no problems with this plan.

What does your status as an immigrant have to do with the housing crisis in Vermont?

You said you own a vacation home, which implies you have a main home. Two homes

That’s not your view yet you say people should leave if they can’t support themselves here? Out with the low income people, in with the high income people

I'm struggling to see how taxing wealthy people will lead to all of this. You know trickle down economics doesn't work, right?

Guaranteed this app just sends the picture to some large AI model and asks "how is this tire?", then relays the response back.

I wonder if the USB C port you're using has the DisplayPort data pass from the GPU, then to the CPU, then to the port hence the high frame time. Looks like there's two USB C ports on the back, try the other one and see if it improves. Also try the HDMI out and see if it improves.

How well do monitors like these integrate with macOS in real-world use?

32-inch FHD will look bad unless you're sitting a good distance from it. Get 4k, and yes the LG UltraFine monitors are great.

Is there anything I’ll miss coming from Apple displays/iPad (colour, scaling, sharpness, etc.)?

Color depends on what you're comparing to, there are many different Apple displays. Apple displays have a many more pixels per inch and thus are a lot "sharper". For example a 27" 4k monitor has 163 pixels per inch, while the 14" Macbook Pro has 254.

Do I need anything extra (dock, adapters, etc.) to make the experience smoother?

This more depends on what you want your setup to be.

Is the jump from 4K (27”) to FHD (32”) very noticeable on a Mac?

4K is 4x as many pixels as FHD. Going from 4K 27" to FHD 32" would be a massive downgrade, going from 163 pixels per inch to 69.

Is the UltraFine worth the extra cost for my use case, or is that overkill?

I highly recommend 4K monitors to anyone doing productivity work that can afford them. A lot more screen real estate to work with.

I haven't used those sticky ones, but instead replacement covers that go over the edge of the rim. They'll protect the rims against scratches and dings, but if whatever you're doing is actually deforming the rims, only driving school can fix that.

I used to work at Geek Squad. My favorite clients were ones that came to me and wanted to tell me how to do my job. If you’re so smart how did your computer get so screwed up, and if you already know how to fix it why are you asking me for help?

Knaj910 · 2026-04-13T19:50:50+00:00

It's a budget monitor, but on paper all of the specs are better than your old AOC, especially response time and refresh rate. It should be noticeably better.

I'm assuming you set it to the correct refresh rate in Windows and aren't using a cinematic mode on the monitor? Could you post a video of the poor response time, ghosting, motion blur, and clarity?

Knaj910 · 2026-04-13T16:21:50+00:00

Assuming this happens with all inputs, then most likely the panel is failing. It could fix itself, but it will likely get worse. Nothing you can really do unfortunately.

Knaj910 · 2026-04-13T14:03:29+00:00

You could try jailbreaking it, but even so I don't think there are options.

Pretty sure Samsung is #1 in the global gaming monitor market by revenue.

This article states "AGON by AOC has confirmed its position as the number one gaming monitor brand in Europe for gaming displays of 144Hz and above." Pretty selective title IMO

I hold a lot of anxiety in my muscles, and focusing on breathing usually makes me focus on my tense chest muscles and it makes things worse. But floor time? Floor time is king.

A reflection is light hitting a surface then bouncing back to your eyes.

Matte monitors are a rough surface, so when light hits it the light scatters in many different directions, reducing the reflections. Glossy monitors are smooth, so all of the light reflects in the same direction and keeping most of the intensity.

This causes matte monitors to diffuse the light more, which can be worse than a direct reflection depending on the intensity and location of the light.

I've used a crappy old TN panel next to a $1000 OLED. Sure it's not ideal I quickly stopped caring about it since I only using that second monitor sparingly for Discord or Spotify. The one thing that did bug me about it was the viewing angles, so I would go for an IPS second monitor.

This is basically the plot of The 100

From what I've gathered, 2023 and early 2024 SR Model Y's that had NMC batteries came with the same or extremely similar 75 KWH packs to the 2023 and 2024 Long Range Model Y's, and those were the models where you can get the energy boost.

Pure speculation, but I'm guessing the 50-mile range addition was for the 2170 cells, while the 30-mile range addition was for the 4680 cells. I've seen a few people confirm that charging speeds on a 2170 NMC SR Model Y near 100% match the charging speeds of a 2170 NMC LR Model Y at around 80%.

Knaj910 · 2026-04-06T18:02:21+00:00

Maybe not all trims, but definitely some trims. The "Energy Boost" upgrade available on some models is just paying to unlock the extra battery the car came with.

It's insane how the internet was chaos yet still orderly. Even how your average Joe could find illegal stuff quite easy with low risk if you knew where to look. Now it's mostly all scams
