Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

maybe I need to bring my monitor to the office to try it out...

e: bummer, looks like 30HZ only

my work Mac Pro and its monitors are literally almost 8 years old and they work fine, great even, given sufficient RAM and an SSD

the only thing I wish about them is that I could replace the screens with 4K displays like the Dell I have at home

it'd be theoretically possible but I don't think one could convince a Radeon 5770 to do 3840×2160 at 60HZ (I have two in that system)

holy poo poo an 8 year old Mac Pro. I had one of those at work, 8 years ago. my five year old home iMac smoked it in performance with half the cores.

the notes on the page say a 5770 in a Mac Pro will only do 30 Hz, that's the "2" in "Yes 2"

i know that you're going for a double-irony thing here but i remember when some assholes were trying to normalize "ghey" as a supposedly non-homophobic way of still being homophobic and it's the most childish fuckingn thing, like,

"nuh uh! you can't ground me because i'm not allowed to say dirty words and "fuhk" is totally a different word waa waaa i'm a literal talking baby."

my wife needs a new laptop but it needs touch screen and tim seems to think it's a bad thing so I can't get a Mac even if I want one

also I hear they turn you into a bit of an elitist assholr. which brings me to my next question : did better call Saul finish?

the thing my wife needs it for is to use as a simulator of a touchscreen device

I guess you could ask people to use a touchpad and mouse to simulate a touchscreen device but that would be amateur hour and not what we're about

the keyboard would be tragic but I could take care of that

okay, so, i have a touch screen laptop

i only ever use the touch screen when there's a cat on me and it's easier to reach up and over her to tap a link rather than use the trackpad or mouse

that... that's abou tit really.

So Dell started cancelling all the new XPS 15 orders due to lack of panels, and have skyrocketed the UK price into ridiculous levels
