    I'm so glad this doesn't apply to me. I have 4 monitors.

    I have two 4k monitors, and two laptops and a desktop controlled from one mouse and keyboard with seamless traversal across all of them thanks to mouse without borders. Desktop goes to one 4k monitor, split into 4 quarters to give the equivalent of 4 1080p screens, and each laptop is displayed side-by-side on the other monitor (plus their own 1080p screens to give 3x 1080p screens equivalent each... The picture in picture mode on these lg's is actually usable). It's an upgrade from the previous 4x 1080p screens to the equivalent of 10x 1080p screens, and I still need more screen space!

    We watched the world transition from avoiding AOL to depending on the app store.

    That means you were born at the right time to become a YouTube star, so that's on you OP

    I’m in this meme and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

    You're not going to mention my chair? It's two tone and has a cup holder, headrest, and adjustable lumbar support. Deserves some credit yo.

    Wow, been a while since I was laser-targeted by a meme like this

    I bought a solid, aluminum reinforced, mechanical keyboard specifically with the function to turn off the LEDs. I'm trying to run a workstation with parts that last more than 8 years, not a circus.

    Aluminum reinforced sounds snazzy

    I'd argue those born between 1976 and 1984 are living the best timeline currently. Childhood in the 80s, teens in the 90s, and able to operate in both a analog and digital world.

    I was born in 1972 and appreciate that I'm able to remember my sister's early eighties Fast Times at Ridgemont High days, went to high school myself in the eighties, then college in the nineties right as Nirvana was hitting the scene.

    It hasn't been the economic sweet spot, but it's been a great cultural spot.

    I felt like the 90s was peak teenager, everything went downhill after that. It was the end of the classic teenage culture, before cellphones and the digital age. It felt like the last iconic age. Since 2000 everything has felt stale, nothing popculturally groundbreaking. Big transitions in the general culture but nothing that feels like it defined the decades. There isn't a 2000s or 10s look or feel, they are just stale.

    My daughter's high school years in the 2010s definitely seemed bland to me. Maybe I was being aloof via nostalgia, but it just seemed like the whole thing was devoid of cultural flavor.

    Then she got robbed of any meaningful college experience because COVID hit during the spring of her freshman year just as she was getting her bearings.

    I genuinely feel sorry for that generation, not because of the stereotypical old person lens of "those damn lazy kids," but rather they didn't get any opportunity to be damn lazy kids up to no good.

    A $50,000 house hasn't been available since 1981. Adjusted for inflation it's really 1955.

    Jesus. This is pretty much why mine is setup like this lol. Smallish 1080p monitor top left, this has our security cameras on display. 4k 27" underneath that doubles as an extension to my work laptop during work hours, but it's also connected to the primary pc. Main monitor is 27" 1440p 165hz gaming monitor. Far right is another 27" 1440p standard for general crap. They will all serve their own purpose while I'm sitting in the captains chair. Mostly it's so I can watch movies/shows, game, use discord, and browse/ work on other stuff all at the same time.
