It actually wasn’t a joke. I went from SGN20U back to a Pixel for a few years, before getting my current Fold6. My prior experience with Samsung was that you could not disable updates and you couldn’t even delay updates because it’ll only let you snooze it for a day or two before it forces the update down your throat no matter what. Had it happen once while I was driving in unfamiliar territory and lost navigation for 15 minutes. Had it happen overnight once and my alarm didn’t go off in the morning. Infuriating.

I did go ahead and turn off auto download just now - if it actually works without constant nagging, I’ll be thrilled. Cheers.

I filled up my storage and now I just get download failed notifications every morning. Happy accident, but now I won’t ever empty my storage again.

I also would have expected a hospital to offer some of the best health insurance in the country - I was agast when my wife got a job and we realized it was trash tier compared to her major corporation retail job she had previous to that. So yes, maybe - but I don’t think it’s a given or a safe assumption by any means.

Unfortunately you are horribly mistaken.

Doesn’t really feel like an apples to apples comparison because nobody is going there for vacation excited to see a major sports event. And certainly nobody would want to go there knowing full well that they’d be at risk of death (or in the case of the USA, permanent imprisonment) for daring to enter the country.

My point was that the world potentially wasn’t fully aware of the environment they were entering personally to attend the Olympic Games in Nazi Germany, but everything happening in the US today is broadcast digitally and the world is very well aware of the environment in the United States today.

That’s an interesting point. However, my understanding is that the world did not understand the full extent of atrocities being committed in 1930s Germany until after the war was over. I think in the age of the internet and social media, this certainly could be the first.

I wonder if the IOC will be using the World Cup as a test bed. This certainly will not go well - there will be horrific stories coming from the few athletes and tourists that DO come for some reason, and attendance will be otherwise annihilated. What are the chances that the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA get moved? They’ll have 2 full years to ramp up in another city elsewhere in the world, probably one that has had the Olympics in the recent past and has the infrastructure built out already.

Wow this really got me. Top tier shit post my dude.

Well it certainly comes highly recommended from me! Never pay full price for it - it’s constantly on sale, and it’s cheaper now than the best sale price I could find a year ago - at $1100 currently. If you find it cheaper than that, you’re in really good shape.

They do have much cheaper versions with the same screen size that are not OLED - but I think it is worth holding out and saving for this one personally.

Ohhh, wow. Hell of a monitor for work to provide!

Totally with you there - I could never.

Not every game has to be made for you specifically. Let people enjoy what they enjoy.

The curve is very slight - it really just brings the corners around a bit so they’re closer to facing you, but they’re not really. I haven’t used a curved screen before this one, I think I wish it was a tighter 1000R curve but I hear people gripe about those.

Some games just support ultrawide resolutions natively out of the box - Balatro, It Takes Two, Tomb Raider 2013 trilogy. Others don’t - and there are good mods in those situations by the community. Flawless Widescreen has worked, well, flawlessly for me on games like FFVIIR and Elden Ring. I got FFXV working I just don’t remember how. And to really drive it, you’ll want a decent GPU - I happen to be using a 3090 and it obviously does the trick.

Already Arkansas has been denied FEMA funds for tornadoes a few weeks back. The south doesn’t have a chance. Florida about to become uninhabitable.

You say USED to, what made you migrate away?

I use the OLED from the couch

That makes sense - at first I pictured it as the primary monitor and the issue with that is usually the PPI of TVs can really struggle up close with text and such, but being able to throw content over to it and sit back on the couch seems like a SOLID strat.

I love that this is where we’re at - that a single handheld computer can do it all. We’re in the middle of a move and I packed up my entertainment center, short of the TV and Chromecast - so a few weeks ago I used my mobile dock to play my Steamdeck on the TV and it was excellent. Love the versatility of that thing - just wish I had the OLED version, but guess I can hold out for the sequel for now.

Just a single 49" 32:9 ultra wide - effectively 2x 1440p 27" monitors side by side. It’s a MASSIVE improvement over having two bezels lined up straight ahead and always having my head turned to one side or the other, or having my desk set up asymmetrically with a single monitor head on and one off to the side.

Samsung G95SC - OLED, 5120x1440p, 240hz, 1800R curve

It’s rare I need two full 16:9 windows side by side - so for work, 90% of the time I’ve got a 16:9 frame centered, and extra content on the sides (outlook and teams for instance). Window snapping via Microsoft Powertoys - Fancyzones makes this so dead simple, so it’s a quick keystroke to change the snapping zones and then I can do 2 windows side by side when I need it, 2 side by side+my teams, or 3 side by side.

And for play, let me tell you - games and anamorphic films look SO GOOD on this thing. Absolutely LOVE this monitor.

The man has chased his share of dragons - we can trust him on this one!

Model 3 was my next car for years. Now it’s the Ioniq 6. I’m just so grateful that we are only now able to plan a car purchase this year, and not in the last 2 or 3 years where we would now be stuck in a Tesla.
