You took me a little bit too literally- I was illustrating a point. People have comparably giant displays compared to the 90’s and yet still treat them as single small displays.


It sounds like people in your workspace haven’t discovered opening multiple windows side by side.

I’ve found people in the windows world often make everything full screen all the time- such a waste. You have a 40” 6k display and you open a single giant word doc.

You could have 3 or more documents open side by side- or a webpage for reference, a notepad, and your work or 1000 other combinations.

I do development work so my workflow is extremely text heavy, but it’s rare that I don’t have 4+ windows open simultaneously per display. I also use an old dell monitor I had laying around rotated 90 degrees as others mentioned for log monitoring or chat threads.

I think people just need to get more creative using their space- it’s not the monitor’s fault if you don’t fill it with stuff.


Obsolete != Useless.

You could think of anything that’s not the newest as obsolete, or anything that’s no longer supported, but in either case, it doesn’t mean the machine can’t still be used for either it’s original intent or something else (Plex server or something).


None of those blocks actually work, it’s theater. I think it’s better to prepare your child for the world and how to handle it than to try and lock them in a bunker.


I’m gonna add Space Haven to the list. Still early access but I can’t stop. Been playing it on and off for the last year, 200 hours!
