"High" being relative and constantly changing, of course. The SGI 1600SW from 1998 was 1600x1024 at 17.3 inches, so 110dpi. A beautiful thing, but not really like paper IMHO. https://bytecellar.com/2008/02&#x2

I'd be surprised if your setup didn't offer this already. Both my Apple TV and surround sound speakers system offer it. My TV, too but I don't use that for audio out. That said, at night I simply use headphones.

Amazing. I use a Synology NAS which has a similar desktop in browser paradigm, but this guy trumps it with his Wine and emulator integration.

There are exact parallels in game design, theatre, etc. The specialism was required to scale up to larger productions. There are still people (like me) that are multi disciplinary, but that's quite a rarity.

This is really cool and something I could use and edit. Responsive CSS for mobile and tablet feels needed.
