On his point about multi-monitor setups is there any reason a usbc connection couldnt be used for each monitor? I've used a usbc-hdmi connector for years for a single monitor. Seems like it would just be a matter of having enough ports

i agree. I think LLMs may more likely be responsible for these jobs never coming back. ie, in the past jobs would come and go with the cycle, but now some fraction (maybe 1/1, 1/2, 1/3) of them will not come back ever because

Given the number of times the government has been shown to be corrupt or criminal in the past, does anyone ever consider if declassifications and FOIA requests might actually just be met with even more propaganda/lies? I'm curious

All those shoulds are value statements which are not universal law. They're opinions about what constitutes fair.

btw "fair" is an entirely subjective and unproductive way to describe a system. There's simply properties and priorities. Many of us have learned fair to mean a great variance of things. From per capita equal load, to you get

Here in Austin my usage cost is about $8-16 of a >$100 bill once you include all the fees, mandates etc. Meaning I can only swing my bill by about $8 by lifestyle choices.

It's more likely that it's the company making weird regional pricing. And the price in Canada likely is lower due to the Government negotiating for the lower price. Just my guess.
