- Majestic121 5y agoHacker news has a downvote button, unlocked after a certain amount of karma, but it's not to be used simply because you disagree with someone.
- distrill 5y agowhat? why would this be worth a downvote? also, what is with this attitude that nobody who has tried a "decent monitor" would be fine with a laptop? i have 2 high end monitors on my desk at work and i rarely use them because i prefer being comfortable on my shitty laptop so that i can be as productive on the go as i am in the office (or at least not be crippled by wishing i had a "decent monitor setup")
- can16358p 5y agoI did try it multiple times in the past, I actually have a 32" 4K collecting dust right here. I just ended up not using them, ever. I didn't make a statement like "multiple monitors are useless", which would probably deserve a downvote. I genuinely asked, with all the respect to everyone who prefers multiple monitors, why they needed them as I might really be missing something that I haven't realized yet.
- wruza 5y agoCan you please describe such decent setup and your workflow with it? Anything I tried was too uncomfortable, and I noted that a combination of software, “desktop tools”, and actively used windows may play a big role in it. Pros and cons, tradeoffs and balances.
