beko1987 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 1 hour ago, reb said: I wish I'd done it ages ago! There's two of them so I could have 8 sensibly sized browser windows open at any one time. The only issue is if I maximise one them they're not hugely readable, entire paragraphs end up on one line! It's going to take a little bit of getting used to I think. The reason I did the upgrade now is I've got so used to having a 4K screen attached to my work laptop (I bought the screen myself) that the 1080p ones just weren't comfortable to use anymore. It's amazing how a resolution and screen size that felt impossibly roomy when I got it can feel so cramped now. 100% scaling is nice for fitting as much as possible on the screen, but it's maybe a bit small for extended use, I'll try 125% and see how I get on. I think we've reached the peak resolution of sensibly sized monitors now though, 8K might be a bit of an improvement, but I can't see anything past that actually being any more useable at sensible distances. Maybe one day once the prices come down a bit I'll get a couple of 40" 8K monitors! I still keep a 1080 in portrait mode for outlook and etc. Needs barely a glance to see what's there. Bar that like you I just resize to what's good (long thin windows are amazing) You tried the fancy zones program that's within windows power toys? That's handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's handy I run Kubuntu on my desktop and my work laptop is quite locked down. What does it do? Kubuntu lets you snap to a quarter of the screen, is it like that?

myglaren Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I had cause to sit in my car for an hour or so the other day. When I went to Northallerton I attempted to put the AC on as it was hot but opening the windows too noisy. What I had actually done was to put it on recirculate which didn't help at all. And I discovered the AC button. Only right in front of my nose so no wonder I was unaware of it. I have been using recirculate all winter and wondering why it was steaming the windows up. Also discovered lots of things that the 'radio' does, except I never use the radio part of it. Listened to a lot of music, I have a USB dongle that would take a month or more to plough through everything on it so lots of surprises as I have mostly forgotten much of what I put on it. All very pleasant until I tried to start the car and had flattened the battery. Could have done without that. Also the American spell checker can sod off.

My laptop has a mind of its own, sometimes the keyboard will refuse to work unless I put it in sleep mode and switch it on again 🤷♂️ makes no sense to me how that can make any difference, but it does! Have I done anything to rectify that? Of course not! Snake Charmer and AnnoyingPentium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Charmer Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 After spending an inordinate amount of time uploading CDs to my laptop over the weekend to "sync" with my phone for listening whilst a colleague is away, then having to trawl the tinternet to find a Windoze 8.1 fix just to connect the bloody phone via USB, l eventually realised sending them from Windoze Exploiter took seconds rom a CD Rip. Once that shite was dealt with, I did grin today through gritted teeth when realisation set in my Bose speaker was still at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
