Personal question: How old is your computer?

[redpoint5]

Anything with fewer than 3 display output capability is a non-starter for me at this point.

Playin' hard to please, eh? What's the third display for?

From the raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-product-series-explained/

Pi 5 have 2ea CSI camera/DSI display ports -- Camera Serial Interface and Display Serial Interface -- in addition to the two HDMI.

How to use the Raspberry Pi Touch Display
Sep 13, 2024The Touch Display is compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi except the Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero 2 W, which lack a DSI connector. The earliest Raspberry Pi models lack appropriate mounting holes, requiring additional mounting hardware to fit the stand-offs on the display PCB.

Here's how to install Linux Mint on a laptop that requires reflashing the Thunderbolt chip.

Comms screen on the left, remote systems I'm working on in the center screen, documentation/instructions/notes on the right screen. Minimized, I'll have something I'm listening to.

Only 3 displays since that's the limit of my hardware.

A decade ago, it would be for FPS gaming. Having extra peripheral awareness is a huge advantage.

I finally ordered a second 43" 4k Samsung.
How do I dual-wield?!

Most Tradewars games are high- or unlimited turn, so you are supposed to run your computer 24/7.
I spend too much time on my computer, but I have looked into something like this Win10 stick PC: https://www.amazon.com/HEIGAOLAPC-Co.../dp/B0DKSRFSBG

In theory, I could plug it into my TV, connect a third (fourth?) and more-expensive KVM switch to it, and have it run 24/7 while I periodically put my tower to sleep.

Then I just think that I have an old laptop that I can use.

Before I got into grad school, I played WoW on my laptop, plugged into my TV and it looked pretty good in 1080.
It looked better in 4k, but the framerate wasn't adequate.

I used to play on my desktop, which now has a much better video card, but I don't know if the CPU is fast enough anymore.

I also miss WoW less and less.

There is just too much to do.

Look!

A Ferrengi!

Die, Ferrengi, die!
