I'm in the market for a monitor for programming. Ideally:

• A monitor that can be adjusted vertically
• A monitor that can rotated 90 degrees, so the long side is vertical

Either one of these (or both) specifications is preferred, though both is not necessary. I'm on a budget, so nothing more than $500 USD.

Display rate doesn't matter (60hz is fine), and 1080p is fine too.

Anyone know of any good monitors like this?

The scenario is: you've managed to receive ₩500,000,000 (~$337,265) at a Korean lottery (the catch is, only given in cash) which is delivered to you in two duffel bags. However will there be issues when returning back to the USA with that amount of money since it's bundles of cash via foreign currency when the cap is $10,000 for undeclared amounts?

I'm basically trying to recreate this, minus the absolutely insane pricetag. Desk mounted versions exist for literally one-twentieth the cost, but for some reason that three foot pole and wheels causes the price to explode.

So... this is for sure a DIY project. My thought is to buy a desk mounted stand, and remount the arms to a makeshift floor pole... Like the 5-wheel base of an office chair with an iron plumbing pipe shoved into the middle. Not sure if that'd give the stability I need, but that's why I'm trying to run it by folks with a mind for this kind of thing :p

Use case: my computer desk my living room couch. Right now the monitors are on a coffee table. Keyboard goes on lap, mouse goes onto a makeshift mousepad frame to my right. Works great, except the screens are just hanging out in the middle of the room when not in use. Wife's comfy spot is on the other side of the couch where she watches the TV on the other side of the room: when we both want to watch something on the tv, the monitors become an annoyance, so being able to easily wheel them to the side of the couch and back is the goal.

Either that or something like a swivel-arm, but the weight of two monitors would be a lot for something like that.

Any ideas?

I don't know what question should I ask but How to actually live? There are so many distractions on my path, on the left side there is a phone with access to thousands of naked women, in front of me a computer with lots of games and movies, on the right side there is also a phone with a lot of content which is increases dopamine such as TIKTOK, INSTAGRAM, and on the back there is MOM which is telling me what should I do and what I shouldn’t doesn’t support any of my decisions…

Same engine it seems, but where the fuck do you put the oil?

Cultural relativism aside, I'm sure we can agree on "terrible" if we talk it out. I'm not asking for a "well X country is worse than Y country, so, Y country isn't THAT bad". I'd say for this discussion we can go as far back as 1800 for "past" as I'm currently convinced there isn't a country with a perfect track record going back even that short a time.

I have finally decided to move to a proper password manager. But it's kinda scary, you know, to export all you passwords in one place and if you mess up a bit you might lose all of your passwords especially when they said once I lose my master password there is no way to recover it.

So, what are some precautions I should take before moving to Bitwarden? Did you ever lose your account? Share your experiences.

I am trying to convince my group to switch from WhatsApp to Signal and we plan to vote on it soon. So, I plan to use the replies in this thread to compile a list of reasons to use as talking points. Preferably, I need something that can be understood on a personal level as some of my friends are deeply cynical and have no concern about escaping techno-feudalism and surveillance.

The washing machine panel thing in my apartment has these metal buttons that are perhaps the most satisfying metal buttons I've ever pressed in my life. If my neurospicy brain had a swimming pool of these things I would die happily of starvation while flopping around pressing as many as I could. How in the world do I track down a featureless metal button and know I'm getting the right thing without being able to press them before buying? Are there like names for different types of buttons? What kind of rabbit hole am I looking at here? I want to refit my computer to have one of these things as my power button

I've added a pic but I have a video too which gives sound feedback. Idk how to post that though

By all rights, this should be something I am deeply passionate about. I've been in tech/engineering my entire adult life and was obsessed with NASA as a kid. I even live on the east coast of Florida and can sometimes see the launches/landings over the ocean. But I just... don't care at all. I'm not suffering from depression or any other malaise, and generally things are fine. But I haven't clicked on a single link or looked at a single image. I know this has not been the case for many, many people, so I'm wondering what might be different about this launch (or really the whole program in general), and curious if anyone else has found themselves feeling the same.

We all know the pictures of the astronauts on the ISS floating around. We also suspect that a lack of gravity is bad for the body as the muscles go weak and such.

Why don't spaceships just rotate to cause the effect of artificial gravity through centrifugal forces?

I try to give the most grace possible. I've only ever blocked two users here. That said, I'd totally understand why someone might block me.

It feels like outside politics, you don't see much new meme templates.

Why is that?

Love or hate just please explain why. This isn't my area of expertise so I'd love to hear your opinions, especially if you're particularly well versed or involved. If you have any literature, studies or websites let me know.

So I grew up very sheltered and isolated from society and as a result missed out on a lot of pop culture and other common things. I love to read, and I really enjoy fantasy and DnD and those types of things and I'm trying to find and catch up on the great fantasy books/series that every fantasy lover/nerd should know. I'm not as interested in sci-fi, but I'm willing to read the "great" ones too. What would you recommend?

Series I've read: The Lord of the Rings The Witcher The Dark Tower The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Dungeon Crawler Karl

Update to add also read: Wheel of Time Most of the Stormlight Archive The Hobbit

I'm just starting my first Discworld book.

Edit: Thanks everyone! Keep them coming, I'm going to make a list with all the suggestions and start working through them.

I do. Most stations in my region are just crappy music and dumb call-in shows, but there's still a few stations with quality programming. FM radio is where I get my news, where I listen to press conferences, old-school audio theatre and (surprisingly) where I get new music recommendations. Hard to believe that modern streaming platforms' algorithms can be outperformed by traditional media.

And also why do you like it, what is it saying?

I'm trying not to think about reality and want to hear about the far edges of people's moral horizons.

Okay.

See here's the thing:

You have to remember:

1. BIOS password (you're supposed to set one, right? I mean... so your that sibling/roomate/kids/family doesnt mess around and replace your OS with a malicious OS)
2. Full Disk Encryption password and then finally
3. The user password

Like that kinds breaks my brain

Do y'all just put those in your password manager... then only have to remember

1. Master Password to password vault and
2. Phone lockscreen

Is this the "Standard Operating Procedure"?

But if you are paranoid and set a full alphanumeric password/passphrase... then you have to remember two differen passphrases...

Or couldn't you just simplify it to like just ONE, like:

Can you have the same password for Phone Lockscreen as the Password Vault Master Password?

So that you Only ever need to remember exactly ONE password

Is this a good idea?

My head hurts from this...

Idk how to do this...

I wanna simplify my digital stuff... my stuff is so disorganized...

And what disadvantages? Like pricing or licensing terms?
