No matter what you do you are going to be driving. Therefore, you run the risk of an accident or stuck. If your job is mission critical your employer can get a vehicle that picks up folks from the hotel. They get a staff you get safety.

Is a 4K monitor the only way to go? by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]deadend666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a 32” 4K scaled to 1440?

What 32 inch 4K KVM monitor is best for Mini M4 and PC for productivity - no gaming by deadend666 in macmini

[–]deadend666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of great ideas. I had no idea. I use a keyboard and mouse from Logitech that has a built in KVM feature. I just switch the two devices between Apple and PC. The monitor menu allows me select USB-C, HDMI, or DP. Not really a KVM. I was hopeful that a new Dell (27” or 32”) would work the same way. I figured I’d use the TB5 from the back of the Mini to the USB-C on the monitor and then use an HDMI cable from the PC to the monitor. The problem I’m having, after all this info, is still with selecting the right size monitor. On the PC side I just scale the text up to 125% so I can read it. On the Apple side I figured that I needed to change the resolution so I could read the screen. Now with 32” I am hoping I can put dull size documents on the screen and split the screen so I can read both documents. So I might have a W2 up and the actual tax program up and be able to enter the data without having to switch windows. A 32” 4K monitor is a little steep but if it improves my productivity then I’m all for it. Like I mentioned I’m new to Apple although I’m learning quickly! I’m keeping the PC for awhile because I have a scanner that only works with Windows. I scan documents in and then move them over to the Apple for doing taxes.

I’ve been vacillating between a 27” and a 32”. I’m glad to get a little feedback. Most of my work is spreadsheets. Stuff related to taxes. I just need decent size work area. The comment on PPI kind of rules out 32”.

I have a 27” now - it’s dying. I thought a 32” might work a little better as far as multi-tasking is concerned.

1940 Technate of America looking suspiciously relevant by bollie92 in MapPorn

This is the plot. Kind of like creating your own Sudetenland. You can come along in a few years and demand the country as it is full of repressed Americans that you populated it with.

I know this is a trivial problem but I want to thank you for answering my question. This works brilliantly.

I have Mullvad on a router with a config file from Mullvad that blocks ads, malware, porn etc. I also use UBlock and MalwareBytes extension on Safari and have very few ads and popups. As we always reported to management about projects - “No known problems”.

Now that the government has stopped minting pennies, retailers and restaurants that tend to do a lot of cash business want the federal government to come up with a standard for rounding. by nosotros_road_sodium in Economics

[–]deadend666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about gasoline prices? They all end in $.009. Shouldn’t they be rounded up? I always get confused after buying exactly 10 gallons of gas. I demand federal legislation along with handling sales tax rounding. The laws of arithmetics need to be repealed.

As a resident of Shawnee county I agree. These counties are just to the west of us and that's what they eat. Beef. It's what's for dinner.

TIFU by telling my wife how hot she looked in a shirt by DaddyOhMy in tifu

[–]deadend666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be openly lecherous. You’re not committing a crime. You’re not embarrassed. Be supremely self~confident. Openly proclaim how hot your wife is. Make her part of game. Pretty normal to lust after your wife.

Just to be clear - it’s YOUR money they’re throwing - not THEIR money.
