    Question New Display for 3 Different Systems

    If you want all of them to directly connect, you're more likely to find what you're looking for in a TV rather than a monitor. That said, you could always simply get an HDMI switcher (like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0865JJLHD/) and push a button on that rather than a remote or the display...

    Question Routing DisplayPort cables in cramped environments (DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort and back again?)

    I'm sure that would work if you go with reputable brands, but what about using either angled DP adapters or just angled DP cables? My only concern with going from DP to miniDP (and back) would be that I personally have never been too impressed with miniDP's socket strength (as in how well it...

    16" surface pro 9 type 2 in 1

    There are the newer Lenovo and Asus OLED foldables. They ship with BT keyboards that magnetically stick to the 'bottom' on the screen when it's in 'laptop' mode, but otherwise you have access to a 17" or so display...

    Question Macbook Noob Question

    This is an annoying answer... If she has a MacBook Air, then she'll need a dock that supports 2 monitors over USB-C since the MacBook Air only officially supports 1 external display. If it's the MacBook Pro, then she'll just need cables as she can direct connect the monitors to the machine (it...

    strange audio 'hissing' on PC

    It's probably the wifi adapter itself creating interference with the speakers. Something that I've done in the past to resolve similar issues has been to connect a USB extension cable and then snake that up to somewhere away from the conflict (ex. run the extension up to the desk so the adapter...

    Question What is your brand new M2 Pro / M2 Max MBP battery cycle count out of the box ?

    I can't answer for other M2 machines, and I haven't bought a new Mac laptop since 2016, but 5 cycles makes sense. It needs to go through testing, imaging, and calibration before leaving the factory. The battery is rated for 1000 cycles before it loses more than 20% capacity, so that's not even...

    casting/mirroring HBO Max to Roku TV

    Is HBO Max not available on Roku directly? You could just log in with your credentials when you're there and log out when you leave. Alternatively, if you have your own streaming box/stick just take that with you when you're over at his house. I do that when I go on vacation.

    Question Windows don't go to screen edges (Windows 10)

    It happens even when using the Microsoft made FancyZones inside PowerToys. BUT! Not with all programs. Outlook always goes to the screen edge even after a reboot. Other office programs are the same. Most browsers will do the weird buffer space thing. I'll try wiping both out and just using...

    Question Windows don't go to screen edges (Windows 10)

    I run at 100% scaling and am using the FancyZones PowerToy from MS to set window sizes. Before that I was using Divvy by Mizage to do the same thing (and sometimes still do). I basically never ever full screen windows, but all the same I'll give CCleaner a try.

    Question Windows don't go to screen edges (Windows 10)

    This has been an annoying behavior in Windows 10 for a couple of years but I have trouble searching for an answer since I'm talking about windows in Windows, including for Edge windows that don't go to the edge of the display... Anyway, some but not all applications exhibit the behavior that...

    Question iPhone Pain

    A: If you haven't already try going to Settings>Accessibility>Display & Text Size and play around with the options in there to see if they help you with the sizing of the interface. B: Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Text Replacement and you can click the + in the upper right to define a new...
