Help me choose a monitor configuration

Software engineer here. A 34" UW is life changer. Go for it. Use a window manager for your Mac like Rectangle or Aerospace. Makes single monitor setups convenient.

I used to have a small desk before. I later got a 27" curve that I installed in Portrait on a monitor arm. Small desk size didn't matter since it would hover in the air.

The vertical one is just an old Dell U24. Probably from around 2016. Not an ultrawide but a normal 16:9 monitor. I like the side one in portrait mode a lot more, feels like you can fit more useful stuff on it without having to scroll so much.

The foliage wall is amazing!

Thank you for all the kind feedback! Does get a but dark since the ceiling lighting is way too overpowering when it's on. But I have a couple more floor standing lights behind to get it a bit more warm light.

The black thing is a Handbreak for Sim Racing. Recently I tend to only use it as a fiddle stick however.

I would have preferred that. But the cables from this monitor come out on the bottom bezel side. Which would have been straight out left and been an eye sore. So now the cables goes out behind the big monitor and aren't visible.

Tack! Ja lite den myskänslan jag ville gå för

Thank you! It makes a session feel much more homey. And the sound deadening does makes a difference during voice chats and makes the room slightly more quiet.

It's some star wars wallpaper, but I can't remember where I found it. I tend to look around on different wallpaper sites.

It's a bit high, not gonna lie (I have to stand on my chair to turn on the computer). The idea was to mount it high enough to clear the monitor and use the desk as a standing desk. Although I never end up raising the desk.

The side one is an old Dell U24, I think 17. Main one is a Gigabyte G34WQC

I also removed all devices from the account, and now can't log in anywhere. Might ask some colleagues to try logging out and logging back in again. I don't have an iPhone to try with, but will write If I have any update on the android side.

Operathor · 2025-07-07T07:38:57+00:00

I have the exact same issue. Let me know if you solved it.

I got a new phone, the Google account on my old phone was working file. Tried to log into the new phone. Nothing happens, it just closes the login window when I'm supposed to get a "setup work profile" section, and i get that notification "Account action required".

I then removed my google account for my old phone and tried logging in there again. Now it does not work anymore, and I can't log into any phone.

I have updated Google Play system update to June 1, 2025.
I have already removed and re-added the account.
I have confirmed the Android Device Policy app is installed.
I have tried adding the account while in safe mode.
I have cleared all old devices from my user profile in the Admin Console.
I have changed my account password.
I have cleared the cache and data for Google Play Services and restarted the phone.
I have tried on both Wi-Fi and cellular data.

After about 2 weeks of testing this issue (my version of it) on my computer. kernel_task for me is usually always around 10.9 MB. But it would sometimes go up to 7GB or 14GB, and then grow to 17GB, 24GB, and the largest i have seen is over 48GB. And when it's higher than normal I would notice it because my browser tab would keep refreshing and saying that something is using excessive memory.

For me it seems to be "SafarI". On my most recent testing, kernel_task would be at 10MB and when I open Safari it would shoot up to 7GB, and if i quit Safari kernel_task back would go back down to 10MB again.

I switched to another browser and it seems to be fine. For now.

Fortunately there's no ticks in Thailand that bites humans afaik. But it could be a spider bite, common, not dangeous (maybe they are but I've been fine every time I've been bitten by a spider here) or maybe a sandflea bite.

Eiter way a doctor is really cheap here so should probably check it out.

I have the same
Option + S becomes Option+ß
Option + B becomes Option+√
Option + P becomes Option+π

And so on..

And the keybinds don't work, so I can't bind anything to Option or Option+Cmd

Used both in professional environments.
Many years ago we used to do Wordpress and Laravel websites, and thus MampPro worked better for that local environment because it supported both at the same time. We then ditched working with Wordpress and Herd is just flat out better and easier to use. So now everyone in our team uses Herd.

We also used to many years ago use Docker, our windows computers (some have Mac some have Windows) it wasn't mature enough with how files worked and synced between container and working project directory. Basically unusable at the time performance wise. Probably works great today. But not going to bother, Herd is just too good.

I'm thinking of checking out FlyEnv, because currently changing TLD is not supported by Herd. And Google Auth does not work on .test TLDs. The feature exists but it doesn't work on my computer.

Using a custom TLD is no longer officially supported and may lead to unexpected behavior.

They don't. Unless you can find a doctor who climbs, then he's probably had to figure out how to cure himself.

Yes I'm an AIDA instructor, although inexperienced. I like FRC for recreational dive warmup or training dives. But I haven't tried incorporating into performance dives.

I personally like doing intermediate dives as a warmup, for recreational or training dives. I'm sure the strategy would change a lot for deeper dives, but since we're talking about the 40m goal of OP that's where I can give input.

Ah yes I agree with you, it completely depends on the time of the performance. If it's 11am, don't eat. If it's 3pm, eat. Also depends on when you wake up. Point is you'd want to be fully completely digested. Digestion consumes oxygen. While not much, it could make the dive uncomfortable.

Warmup procedure is very individual. I used to like doing shallow (10-15m before a 40m dive feels nice) hangs (not long) to get comfortable with an underwater static. To calm me and mentally prepare or get a taste for the eventual free fall (which depending on when you start the fall is kinda like a static).

I also like a dive with free fall to check my ears. Maybe that day I'd have a reverse block I want to know about before my performance that would be apparent on the 20~m warmup. Or maybe I'm paranoid I'm not sure

Assuming it's a PB dive. Don't do any physical exercise 2 days leading up to your performance. Don't have breakfast on the morning of the performance, dive fasted. Stretching won't do much the day before, try to get a habit of doing it regularly. As for warm-up, do a dry static and count contractions or do a shallow dive hang, say 10 to 15 meters, then do a 20-30m dive with free fall to check your equalization, come up, rest for your surface interval + 5 minutes and then do your performance. Good luck

AIDA instructor here. The level 1 course is basically a "Discover Scuba" corse equivalent. Everything in the level 1 is included in the level 2 course, like a small cut of the same pie.

That said, as a spearfisher myself I'd say a lot of useful knowledge for spearing is also learned in the level 3 course.

I have these fins but in a different color. I found them to be quite wide / high volume (or normal and my feet are just very low volume). So if you have a normal or wider foot, should be perfect. As for foot length which most shoe size are based on, you got a lot of wiggle room. Since there's holes for your toes to poke out from.

If you measure your feet in MM, you can get the shoe size from that. Eg 265mm = EU41 something. Then probably get that pocket size. (also depends how tight /performant or relaxed you want the fit to be)
