Needed a new monitor.

:stare: that's a lot for one monitor... but it looks pretty amazing. I would love to have something like that for work, since they say I can only have two monitors instead of three. Give me two of those and I would be perfectly happy.

You got that right. I do a lot of spreadsheet work and analysis in some other programs, as well as using visual references, and our work computers cannot quite handle the resolution of triple monitors. I have a triple setup for sim racing, and when I VPN in to work my VPN window only goes across 2 1/2 of my monitors. Sounds like dual ultrawides would be perfect.

Speaking of the racing setup...


Happy birthday to me!

Bought a new headunit.

This came with my friend's Harrier and while sitting in the address input section of the nav screen this tiny rear end windows 95-esque error message popped up that we could not get rid off (the screen is touch but tapping on the little 'x' did nothing), so the nav was unusable. If I remember correctly even a full reset did nothing (did reset literally everything else though, including the settings for rear camera, steering wheel control input etc), and the error message just disappeared randomly.

Windows CE is a massive turd lmao, but this got me thinking.. do the german marques like BMW and Merc use CE in their infotainment systems too?

Most of them are a custom OS developed by Blackberry (QNX). Ford was, up until recently, one of the few still using the MS version (Windows Embed for Auto), and that switched with the new Sync3.

Harrier? As in the vertical take-off and landing Harrier?

The particular one I got is one of the cheaper models that just does bluetooth, spotify, and usb. I just didn't want to have a din pocket below my radio. Those line of Pioneer head units do have really nice digital crossovers, equalizers, and time alignment adjustments.

Really nice. Do the pavers maintain their spacing while you're shoveling gravel around them or do you need spacers (not pictured)?

They stay put. Sand is for getting the level correct & then we used 2" boards to get even spacing throughout. The boards are removed and rocks placed on top & swept into the cracks. Once everything is in place the rocks just hold the pavers in place.

Both of them are using it. I am not sure what's going on - it could be the liberal amounts of catnip everywhere on it or it could be that neither one wants to get off it for fear of losing their spot.

Is it an Armarkat? They must spray their products with an invisible layer of cat-crack. We have 3 cats and 3 Armarkats, and for at least half of the day there's 1 per tree.

My cat has a comically tall Armakat tower, I think like six feet tall, and she loving LOVES it. I think cat's just like being high up because it gives them a sense of security (at least if Jackson Galaxy, PBUH, is correct)

Uhh cats are predators. Being high up gives them a sense of being able to pounce on prey below.

Just bought seven of these, because Amazon required a $25 minimum order for some reason and the power bricks on things keep getting bigger and I probably have seven outlets total in my 1970s condo, which will probably burn down after I plug everything in.

Well she bought them off a friend who ordered a bunch of them because she wasn't sure which ones she liked best, but she said she just got them from Amazon.

I searched for cat throw pillow covers and easily found the Audrey Hepburn one:

Haven't found the other one yet, so I'll see if I can get my GF to get the link from her friend.

Never mind Audrey Hepburn -- following your link, I want the Clint cat! (Except the shipping to the UK is probably awful :( ) (and it doesn't seem to come up as one of the choices. Boo.)
