    aoc q32e2n

    It looks like a decent monitor. Only thing I really noticed was while it is full sRGB gamut, it is not full AdobeRGB or DCI-P3. Mainly those standards would come into play for a color-managed workflow or if you were targeting non-online media (e.g. print). If this is not something you already...

    Having trouble when you print? Could be your HDMI cable!

    That's quite interesting. It does sound like if you have a "full" range cable you would be alright also, but I have never even heard of full vs limited cables until now. So it might be difficult to know. Also, one of my displays has only VGA and HDMI connectors, but does have its own calibration...

    I bought a Framework Laptop. AMA

    I used to build my own desktops, but went with a laptop almost a year ago when GPUs were still insanely priced. I have seen these laptops around online and am intrigued. If I do not go back to a desktop I might consider one of these next time I buy a computer. Cool to see somebody actually using...

    Apple Transition to MacOS

    I am curious. Maybe I misunderstand, but it sounds like you believe you need MacOS to develop certain raw images. What camera are you using?

    Apple IOS is so frustrating!

    I have been chewing on something like that. I am thinking maybe start with a VM, if I like it well enough then dual-boot at least for a while before fully committing to Linux. Or ... I have an old laptop on the shelf I was about to repurpose for use with my synthesizers. I think Mint would run...

    Apple IOS is so frustrating!

    I had a Lenovo 7-inch (I think) tablet a few years ago. I liked it very much, my wife used it the most until the screen got a crack (our fault) and while it actually still runs, the crack is pretty bad albeit near a corner. I never got around to replacing it. I for one will be very interested...

    Apple IOS is so frustrating!

    It is not the fault of the app developers; Apple has specifically forced devs to go this way. I do not think they have a choice. I could not find the exact quote, but somebody once compared iOS and Android like this, and I think it applies to other non-iOSen as well... Android OS is like a...

    Windows Image sizes, scaling, and Windows 11

    I don't do web sites anymore but used to know HTML, CSS, javascript, etc. If I was building a web site there would be no problem. :D Cameraderie is pretty good about it. Other places are not. For example fredmiranda.com does not seem to control the size at all and just lets large pics...

    Windows Image sizes, scaling, and Windows 11

    In recent years, the pictures people post to web communities have been getting bigger. Which in my opinion is generally a good thing, as I prefer to see larger images in general. But... most of the web hosting software being used for these sites does not make any attempt to adjust size to the...

    Replace my Desktop with a Laptop?

    Not to beat a dead horse or get too far off track, but... You may or may not find this useful, if you do not already know about it. * Create a new folder on your desktop. * Name it exactly as shown, include the leading period. If you wish, you can put a label in front of the period which will...

    Replace my Desktop with a Laptop?

    I think you can run WSL2 on Windows 10. I know there were people running X apps on Win10 WSL but perhaps it was not fully supported. Some of the registry tweaks still work. e.g. I used the one to go directly to the expanded context menus in explorer. I think I used a couple others I have...

    Replace my Desktop with a Laptop?

    There is no rush to move to Windows 11. Microsoft would tell you it is much more secure, and it certainly is in some areas. There is Fluent UI, a redesigned interface that may or may not be your cup of tea. If you like to snap multiple windows into layouts, that has enhancements. And there has...

    Replace my Desktop with a Laptop?

    What about the desktop is not present in Windows 11 that you have in Windows 10? The start menu is initially different until you click "All Apps", so an extra click, but the taskbar can be pushed to the left now instead of the default center. Settings is a bit of a mess in some areas, and better...

    Essential programs for your PC - My take

    I was running Win10 on a home-built 7-yr-ish-old desktop, but recently purchased a gaming laptop and elected to go Win11. The OS is somewhat different (versus 10) but I did not find it all that difficult to adjust, to be honest. There are some tweaks to make it more like 10 and earlier in terms...

    Essential programs for your PC - My take

    Bloatware is mostly added by vendors, in my experience. That's not Microsoft's fault. And it certainly doesn't need a "super computer" to run it, google the minimum system requirements. The biggest snafu people run into with Win11 is the TPM requirement, and I wholeheartedly agree that is...

    Essential programs for your PC - My take

    I've used many of the mentioned tools off and on, but a few I have not. New toys. :) As far as "essential" add-ons, as someone noted modern Windows (I am recently on 11) is much better at a lot of things than it used to be. Other things not so much, and a lot depends on what you use your...

    Essential programs for your PC - My take

    Dittos on Notepad++ been using it for years and years. I like Powertoys as well, but not sure if I would call them essential, just useful to have for some of the things I need. My browser of choice is Firefox, and it is one of the first downloads I do. It has its faults and they've been...
