The smaller sizes would be nice if they had a 16:10 option. 16:9 just isn't a very nice aspect ratio imo, the extra height on 16:10 is much better.

Flockster · 24 days ago

Yes, I will never buy 16:9 again. On laptops 16:10 is already quite often and sometimes even 3:2 (Framework, Surfacebook).

For my desktop I am looking forward to getting a 3:2 monitor like the Benq RD280U

We used the 1GbE version in an outdoor setting to easily connect multiple sensors in a port within a research project. Good reliability and being able to extend and "split" the ethernet connection without additional power supplies was very convenient.

We did not integrate them into a UniFi ecosystem, just used the PoE and dumb-switch functionality.

Sadly it's just 16:9. Not even 16:10.

I now run 2 3:2 Displays (BenQ RD280U) at home (more in the office, but I never go there) and love my vertical real estate. (No, portrait mode won't work out)

Thank you for this suggestion!

For Laptops 16:10 (and with the framework and surface even 15:10/3:2) is already quite common, while in the desktop market 16:9 and these ultrawides are dominant.

With 16:9 the whitespace on websites even with Tabs on the side is simply to high ;)

Okay, that article is a little bit shallow. I just summarises the headlines of the last weeks of circular deals. But is there also a more in depth article that sheds a little more light onto what this actually means? From a financial perspective?

I could not compare it completely, but it sounds very much like this talk that I saw many years ago at the CCC.

In Windows Terminal CTRL+C is copy if there is a selection and interrupt otherwise. It's very natural.

Flockster · 6 months ago

You can do this with many terminal emulators on linux too. I did it with konsole and tilix, just change the copy and paste shortcut and you get this "natural copy" behavior.

I have an RTX 4060 Ti with latest drivers installed, KDE on Debian. On the login screen, I can select X11 or Wayland. Selecting X11 lets me log in fine, selecting Wayland and logging in results in a black screen and the only thing I can do to get any video out at all is switching to another TTY.

Flockster · 8 months ago

And I am running a 4060 Ti 16Gb perfectly on my Fedora setup with wayland and KDE.

It's not as if they're the main stakeholder of Windows games on Windows anyway.
