    Reminds me of what the official Instagram client looked like on iPad, a lot of margins, and a bit of that 640px wide feed (or whatever the actual width was)

    Don't know if it's still the same

    Looks like nothing has changed. This is how it opens up on 4k screen. Although, it looks like they tweaked it a little. Up until recently I remember opening a post would show a hilariously small like 800 by 600-something box, half of which was comment section that'd fit like 5 comments at best. But now they finally made it properly scalable.

    How are you gonna read all those Java class names otherwise?

    And then you have that one guy that rotates his monitor using this.

    I don't understand how this guy has an audience. I saw one video that was alright where he cleaned a water-cooling system. The rest were like, "look at all this garbage we bought on Aliexpress lol," and I bounce after several seconds.

    For people interested in tech edutainment he's alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.

    So much terrible click bait has meant I haven't bothered clicking in a year or so though.

    Same. I love any of their "infrastructure" type videos. One of my favorites is when their storage server almost kicked the bucket and they showed the unimaginably stressful recovery process.

    I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn't require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can't be serious all the time.

    He's got a lot of charisma. And his videos frequently give that "people doing something they should have prepared more for but pushing through anyways" entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he's in way over his head, but somehow still manages to keep it going.

    It's a weird spot where I like the guy and want to see him succeed but also don't think he deserves that success and want to see him fail.

    Though I don't really spend much time watching hardware enthusiast videos in general, so I probably won't see either of those unless it goes viral like his last shitshow did.

    I have 2 24" displays side by side. At some point I unified the desktops (or Spaces if you're on Linux) to make it act "as if" it was a single ultra wide monitor. This was absolutely awful to use, especially during Google meetings where I had to share my screen.

    Besides, I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it's just the best way to work.

    This thing is stupid. Appealing maybe, but stupid.

    Looks like 86" to play Untitled Goose Game.

    The game with the least reason to play widescreen.

    Christ, they can't handle 1920W. Everything is a phone now apparently.

    So at what point does a VR headset end up actually being cheaper than your specialty odd-size curved monitor?

    There's a point somewhere here, but people using apps in full screen with this screen are stupid
