typically you get a vesa mount to hang the screen off the end of a fancy articulating arm, not to bolt it directly to a flat surface

*Walks into the party* You think that's expensive? Hmm I guess it *could* be, from a certain perspective. I'm not used to thinking down that low see, I see a lot of expensive things in my life. How, you ask? well, let me tell you about (I drop an anvil on the management's head for being such a loving poser)

Everyone was laughing at The Management's post about how he sees expensive things all the time and we don't and maybe if we did we would understand why the $2500000 stand is actually cool and good. morons.

People laugh but Dell also sell workstations that start at 6K, and a humanscale monitor arm is $400. Those might be significantly better deals but they are presumably the competitors.

Amethyst posted:it's apple leveraging their monopolistic position to get their foot in as yet another privacy invasion corp. kinda? seems like they are interested in lock-in of users and app developers, not monetizing user data. the Apple implementation appears to be much less leaky of user data than Facebook or Google. granted they might be harvesting info about how often certain apps are emailing users. I feel like had they always had this as a sign in option most apps would have implemented it alongside of google and Facebook since implementing those is more about making sign up completely painless instead of user data harvesting. if you really want user data you make them set up their own account. but I get that Apple missed that boat and forcing it on apps by mandating it in the App Store guidelines is definitely an abuse of market position. that said they are going about this in a way that primarily fucks over other monopolistic abusers so...

go play outside Skyler posted:so with 1.5TB of ram can you actually mount an entire file system in the ram ? that would be pretty cool I still remember messing around with my hand-me-down IBM PS/2 and PC DOS, and there was an option to mount a drive in RAM. Because who could use all 512k of RAM at once? Might as well turn 256k of that into D:\

Mac drivers for modern nvidia cards already exist to some extent iirc. If compatibility bears out and we don’t see trends in 6 months like the GPU failures on the 2013 Mac I’m in for one on rev 2.
