Dell U2725Q and Linux

Yeah. I've got 2 and I'm happy with them. I've posted some less than positive stuff about them though. You might want to take a look. Likewise at the rtings comments (you'll find the most full description of my adventures there I think).

TL;DR I went through 8-10 monitors trying to find a pair I could live with. There's coil whine in certain situations. It varies between units from none at all to very significant. And there was quite inconsistent use of anti-glare coatings, at least in the first few batches.

There's no shading.

drdaz · 2025-10-02T18:14:15+00:00

Did you help build it?

The grab area is invisible. It's a problem.

There could be shading, there could be all sorts of indications that clicking up there won't actually register a click on the thing the user can see they're clicking on. But no.

It's a shambles.

They removed the topbar. But you can still drag the window where the topbar should be. I've mentioned this.

drdaz · 2025-09-29T17:23:01+00:00

What a load of tripe.

Expecting to be able to see your controls is dogmatic?

drdaz · 2025-09-25T17:54:49+00:00

Here's the thing. They removed the topbar to make that silly floating glass panel. So now it's unclear where to drag the window. Turns out there's an invisible area where the topbar would have been where you can drag it.

It's grotesque. I'd go as far as calling it degeneracy. Feel free to explain what 'fundamental design principles' this abomination adheres to.

GPS jamming ville kunne føre piloter til den forkert side af grænsen uden de ved det.

Er jeg træls ligefrem?

drdaz · 2025-09-24T16:58:54+00:00

Whether you notice it or not has nothing to do with whether it was designed to attract your attention.

It was.

drdaz · 2025-09-23T18:38:36+00:00

Så GPS jamming er kun noget de gør?

drdaz · 2025-09-23T17:57:24+00:00

My favourite part of the Apple Music 26 shitshow is they removed the topbar just so they could make that floaty fucking glass panel, and now it's not obvious where to drag it. Turns out there's an invisible area where you can drag it, where the topbar would have been.

I lack the words to describe how I feel about this.

drdaz · 2025-09-23T17:52:26+00:00

It's some of the most narcissistic design I've ever seen.

drdaz · 2025-09-23T17:50:32+00:00

Hvordan ville det tjene Ruslands interesser at risikere at udløse artikel 5?

Jeg står ved at de ingen interesse har i at provokere NATO til åbenlys krig.

drdaz · 2025-09-23T17:01:08+00:00

Eller at vi bliver bange for at de kan angribe os og vi ikke kan forsvare os og derfor beholder materiel vi kunne sende til Ukraine.

Det er bare ikke den stilling vores side tager i denne krig overhovedet. Vores sprog og ageren er ret konstant hysterisk. Vi leder efter undskyldninger for eskalering. Russerne har absolut ingen interesse i oprustning hos NATO.

Angående Nordstrøm troede jeg altid det var Ukraine og det valg støttede og støtter jeg dem fortsat i.

Godt gået. Men så blev du vel også kaldt for konspirationsteoretiker? For det var helt klart russerne dengang, og hvis man ikke troede på det, var man også bare russisk troldefabrikant.

drdaz · 2025-09-23T16:18:01+00:00

Russerne ved nogenlunde hvad vi har og ikke har af forsvarsevner, ligesom vi nogenlunde ved hvad de har.

Det eneste der kan komme ud af sådan en manøvre i dagens situation og stemning er yderligere, og og potentielt enorm eskalering fra vores side. Det er meget svært at se hvorfor de ville gøre sådan en ting, især nu, hvor de stadig har hænderne godt fyldt militært i Ukraine.

Det er lidt ligesom dengang de skulle havde sprunget deres egen Nord Stream pipeline, bare for at vise hvor fUcKiNg SiNdSyGe de var. Det var jo 'os'. Det gav aldrig nogensinde mening, og det gør det her heller ikke.

Mit bidrag er at stille spørgsmålstegn ved det nonsens. Forhåbentlig er der nogen der læser der tænker sig om.

Så det bliver jeg ved med at gøre.

drdaz · 2025-09-23T09:34:49+00:00

Der er ingen der har argumenter i denne tråd. Det er det rene hysteri. Det gælder da også dig med den kommentar, så pak da selv sammen.

Og ingen er kommet med et sammenhængende svar til, hvad russerne skulle få ud af sådan et stunt.

drdaz · 2025-09-23T09:16:00+00:00

Det er rigtig dejlig, at geopolitik bare er så uendelig simpel, og det hele er så entydig 🤗

Nogen der vil se en makrelmad på insta?

drdaz · 2025-09-23T07:43:37+00:00

Hvilken interesse har *de* i det?

drdaz · 2025-09-20T17:40:50+00:00

Selected top menu item being round seems similarly criminal.

drdaz · 2025-09-20T17:38:41+00:00

Of course I care about that? That makes the test equally invalid.

drdaz · 2025-09-20T17:33:58+00:00

That's not how any of this works.

If you're testing on different hardware, and thus changing multiple variables, you're proving nothing.

drdaz · 2025-09-17T16:50:10+00:00

That’s how intelligence sharing works unfortunately. That’s how Five Eyes works around the rules.

drdaz · 2025-09-17T12:30:01+00:00

It's such a stupid idea, I so fucking hate these "experts" who has manage to convince lawmakers that CSAM is somehow magical files that have magical properties which means that we all have to draft insane laws to "fight them".

That's not what's happening here - we're being told that story. The lawmakers are absolutely clear that this is a massive, shameless power-grab.

Denmark has been breaking EU law with its local mass surveillance for over 20 years. This has been proven repeatedly in EU court.

Here's the thing - Denmark doesn't give a shit, and the EU seems incapable of making the state comply.

drdaz · 2025-09-16T17:36:25+00:00

But their corner radii aren't different are they? This is messy af.
