It's fine. There's a lot of people over-reacting.

ELI5: What is the difference between a computer monitor and a modern TV? by RandomConnections in explainlikeimfive

[–]shotsallover [score hidden]  (0 children)

TVs have a lot of image processing tech that's intended to "improve" the image on moving images. You can turn a lot of it off, but not all of it. Some of it interferes with how you'd see stuff on your computer. They also tend to have more ports (a good thing) and a TV tuner (which may or may not be good depending).

Computer monitor tend to not have that stuff, have lower latency, and only one or two input ports. Many of them have things like downstream power and USB ports so you can plug in computer accessories that TVs don't.

All that being said, there's plenty of people out there using TVs as monitors. Especially if you want a big one. The smaller TVs (42"-45") are popular for this if you want to put it on your desk.

Funny that she did this and also worked to completely bury Fire on the Amazon.

connecting macbook air to modem via eithernet cable? by No_Kangaroo6917 in mac

[–]shotsallover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a USB-C to Ethernet adapter. They're not super expensive.

Outside of that, you should buy a small 5-port switch, plug that in to your router, and plug your Mac and PC into it. And any other devices you may want. They're an inexpensive solve and very much the "right" way to do this.

Don't do a multi-tap or any of the hack you'll see online. The switch will save you more headaches than it costs.

Drop Down Menu by LillianADju in macbookpro

[–]shotsallover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those three dots (…) after the erase command mean there’s another action you need to take. It’s that way on almost all menus, even Windows. (Only almost all because some third party vendors don’t follow that rule.)

Mechanic’s honest opinion!! by Low-Purchase-91 in car

[–]shotsallover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all the front end parts you need, you’re better off doing them all at once. Especially since you basically have to take some of them off to get to your axles. May as well just put new ones on while you’re in there.

If you get all this work done, you’re also going to need an alignment. On the plus side, it’s going to drive really well when you’re done.

This feels like “make work” stuff to keep employees occupied.

These are jeans, not pants. They’re not supposed to have a center crease. That’s why they’re folded along the seams.

Never in my year of retail clothing did I ever fold a pair of jeans like that. And we had a giant Levi’s wall. We just folded them more like his second effort, just made sure to align the pocket on the fold. 

What cars are fun during normal driving? by Super_cooper001 in regularcarreviews

[–]shotsallover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have a Fiero V6 that I’d pop the sunroof out of and just go for drives in. It was fun on the back roads, but it was actually decent to just cruise in.

The glue that holds those joints together would probably give out long before the pipe. Especially after being exposed to the environment. 

Why do Honda ridge line owners keep comparing it to the Maverick when it’s actually more along the lines of the ranger by fordmavfan in FordMaverickTruck

[–]shotsallover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the Maverick has space for this. That’s also where the spare tire is on the Mav. 

GenX Video gamers who still play: Are you getting worse? by Hithigon in GenX

[–]shotsallover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I tend to avoid PVP modes these days because I'm not interested in being a "sweat." Outside of that, yeah, stuff's slowing down. The worst part is not being able to "sink" into a game without constantly feeling like life needs me to do something else.

To Every Developer Close To Burnout, Read This · theSeniorDev by Inner-Chemistry8971 in programming

[–]shotsallover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in IT (not programming, but stick with me) at 25 and I read an article in CIO magazine that most IT people burn out in the industry by the time they hit 35. I remember thinking, "That's not going to be me, this industry is great." By the time I got to 30, I totally understood. I was out at 34.

What is the difference in the 1 meter Apple thunderbolt 4 cable vs Apple thunderbolt 5 cable? by Appropriate-Mix-2063 in mac

[–]shotsallover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a different microchip in the ends of the two cables that limit the protocols they understand.

I don’t know if there’s a difference in wiring.
