Meeh, doesn’t really bother me 🤷. I usually just use the default settings in whatever DE in Linux (I usually use xfce, but I’ve switched when I felt like it, if I’m getting bored and wanna try something new 😂), or change a few font sizes here and there and all is good 🤷. Regarding Windows (I dual boot), I don’t really care that much to be honest, I rarely use it the past few years. I only use it for work and only when I have to do some things from home or when I need to use some obscure piece of software that just doesn’t work in Wine.
So… no, I don’t really see a reason to buy a bigger monitor. Actually, I haven’t bought a monitor for ages, like probably 20 years 😂, all of the ones I currently use are salvaged from one person or another - they wanna trade up, they give me their old monitor 😂. I don’t complain, they’re still usable for me 🤷.
I appreciate you for preventing eWaste by reusing 🤩 that is awesome! I myself use the old macbookpro and iMacs from my father running Linux :D it’s great to live in a time where one can get such powerful computing devices for free 😇
But for watching movies and series, I really appreciate higher resolution and don’t feel satisfied if it is less than 1080 (more if we talking 25" plus)
To be honest, I just love reusing old stuff and giving it new meaning ☺️. And fixing stuff too. Sure, they will eventually be worthless, but I try and extend their life as much as possible ☺️.
Regarding the movies thing, each to his own 🤷 😉. I don’t judge. Hell, even I sonetimes download 1080p and watch that on my TV, but it’s mostly a special case scenario, like some good movie I’ve wanted to watch for a long time, but never got around to it, or something like.
people are UFO hungry all the sudden (it’s been building since 2017 but now even TMZ is doing a docuseries on the phenomenon)
stoners are super doober UFO hungry right now
I’m a UFO stoner and I don’t actually know why it’s so popular. but for any other UFO stoners out there, the audiobook version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is voiced by Stephen Fry, and it’s phenomenal.
Honestly, I don’t even remember it being that funny. I haven’t gave it a second thought since its release. The power of social media marketing, I guess.
If you’ve never seen Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, I’d encourage you instead to take a look at Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz, both really good movies.
Yeah there’s gunna be a prequel tv show for the ted movie with someone else playing the younger version of mark Wahlbergs character. It’s out January 11. I only saw the billboard on my way to work though.
Not even sure if Seth MacFarlane will still voice ted but hope so otherwise that will be… Not a good show IMO

Thanks. Ill download it now
Perhaps some Youtube’s done a video on it… I feel like I’ve seen a headline or link saying something like “Why Paul is underrated” recently.
I didn’t know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not
Thing that gets me. This is the 720p version… surely people would want the 1080p version? Lol
I usually watch the movie on my PC and my setup is plain stereo with a non-FullHD monitor, so… not much point in downloading 1080p 🤷.
😯non full HD in 2023? How do you handle such low res?

So if you have newer nvidia based card you can upscale to 4K based off 7 20p
The result is closer to 1440 p
But, why not just download the 1080p version? Instead of doing the whole upscaling thing?
Because you can download faster and then upscale instantaneously
Na, man. It’s too damn long

I’ll second those audiobooks. They’ve been my go-to for sleeping for several years. Amazing listens.

It’s not great.
Maybe something to do with the 10 foot tall aliens down in Florida? 🤷🏻♂️
Nooope ignore me I misremembered the billboard I saw
On January 11 (in Canada) a Paul prequel tv show will be released, perhaps all the interest isbeing generated by marketing for that shows release
What is the name of the show? I’m interested but unable to find articles about the show or who’s in it.
Omg its a ted prequel tv show I saw a billboard for, not Paul, sorry I have no idea about the Paul movie interest
My mistake!
Wait, what!!??!?!

Social media influencers seems likely.
Its a great movie! Get onboard, do the lemming thing and follow.
(Sometimes a label is a distraction. expand your mind.)
