But why? That’s the most pointless screen ratio I’ve yet to see.
How are you gonna read all those Java class names otherwise?

It’s a signage display.
That was my first thought. I’d happily have one of these, but wall-mounted somewhere with high footfall, displaying a dashboard of some kind.
I heard those screens can be programmatically split onto several logical displays. I guess, the only advantage is not having borders between them.
It feels a bit off to me, indeed
If it was slightly flexible, it’d be a good driving sim screen wrapped half way around the rig.
It’s “four screens side by side” display. Why not, I guess.
It’s for digital signage
I have a coworker with 4 displays, this is for him.
They kept them all side by side like that, all landscape?
Yup
How else are you going to fit the entirety of a piano, to scale, on your screen?
And then you have that one guy that rotates his monitor using this.
I’m only 65 inches tall. I would want to make some sort of crazy mirror room with them.
Ew, Linus
I don’t understand how this guy has an audience. I saw one video that was alright where he cleaned a water-cooling system. The rest were like, “look at all this garbage we bought on Aliexpress lol,” and I bounce after several seconds.
For people interested in tech edutainment he’s alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.
So much terrible click bait has meant I haven’t bothered clicking in a year or so though.
Same. I love any of their “infrastructure” type videos. One of my favorites is when their storage server almost kicked the bucket and they showed the unimaginably stressful recovery process.
And even those videos show how little they know.
They are fun to watch in a “kid goes wow at enterprise tech” kinda way.
Yeah he was much better a while back. Though that can be said for most of youtube. The algo messes up everything
I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn’t require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can’t be serious all the time.
More or less my stance as well.
I don’t want or need 24/7 GamersNexus. The team is great but oh boy is it dry.Hey watch your mouth when you talk about Tech Jesus, blasphemy will not be tolerated
He’s got a lot of charisma. And his videos frequently give that “people doing something they should have prepared more for but pushing through anyways” entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he’s in way over his head, but somehow still manages to keep it going.
It’s a weird spot where I like the guy and want to see him succeed but also don’t think he deserves that success and want to see him fail.
Though I don’t really spend much time watching hardware enthusiast videos in general, so I probably won’t see either of those unless it goes viral like his last shitshow did.

I liked the time when he tried to use linux and ended up destroying his os by blindly following googled command line instructions
I would’ve done exactly the same, seeing how I am also a newbie at using Linux distros. Who would’ve thought trying to install Steam would result in your GUI being deleted.
That update bugwas so ridiculously poorly timed for the Linux community. Especially considering he said Pop OS was beginner friendly
He’s got a lot of charisma
That’s funny.
He used to have some charisma lol. Also the early Linus Tech Tips content, like back when they were running it out of someone’s house, was usually pretty entertaining. Back then the content was much more silly and creative though, and much less corporatized.
Canadian Marshall Mathers’s kid brother looking ass.

I had to look this thing up. It has a screen resolution of 3840x600. Oof.

I have 2 24" displays side by side. At some point I unified the desktops (or Spaces if you’re on Linux) to make it act “as if” it was a single ultra wide monitor. This was absolutely awful to use, especially during Google meetings where I had to share my screen.
Besides, I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it’s just the best way to work.
This thing is stupid. Appealing maybe, but stupid.
It’s not meant for regular use, it’s digital signage

PL setups are the best.
PL setups are the best.
Yes
if you use a tiling wm/compositor or extension, big screens aren’t so bad, because it will usually split first in the middle, basically giving you two screens, but with the option to also maximize over the whole area, if needed.
I gotchu guys. My design has a max width.
Looks like 86" to play Untitled Goose Game.
The game with the least reason to play widescreen.
The best game for it! Widescreen honking at its finest! Really feel you are in that village, being chased by a horrible goose!
Honk honk honk honk!
Christ, they can’t handle 1920W. Everything is a phone now apparently.
So at what point does a VR headset end up actually being cheaper than your specialty odd-size curved monitor?
Almost immediately
It’s an advertising display. They’re just having fun with it.
It costs 4 grand and has a resolution of like 3480x600, making its pixel density pretty much useless for a monitor.
Heading gun?
Autocorrect’s version of “having fun”
Obligatory fuck Linus

There’s a point somewhere here, but people using apps in full screen with this screen are stupid
A lot of people don’t know that you don’t have to use your software full screen. Weird but true.
Yeah, true. Tbh I use a lot of my “main” software in full screen, but I mostly use fullhd
If you’re noy in very high resolution, it makes sense.
What would even be the design solution without massive empty space? Add a lot of columns? Make the long content horizontal instead of vertical?
You could go columns for the content, but I think my ideal layout would still have the main content in a single column. I would put all of the chrome horizontally through. For example no header before and footer afterwards, put everything in different columns. Maybe even throw some extra navigation on the screen.
You don’t need to use every pixel, just avoid putting things offscreen unnecessarily.
I think for most web apps it doesn’t make sense to allow the width to get so wide, except when the content being displayed is a columnar list and even then it’s a pretty marginal benefit.
What I’ve done is limit the max-width to some amount of px/chars and allowed the remaining space be empty, with an exception for when displaying tables. Even with tables, the bigger width is only beneficial if either the contents of the columns are large enough, or there are very many columns to show. The solution in my mind is limiting the column widths to the longest content.
This seems really cool for tiling windows managers (even Windows has tiling options, although I’m not familiar with those). That being said, I still prefer a multimonitor setup on my tiling WM of choice.
You need to turn your head to read the line number.
Besides, your lines shouldn’t be longer than 80 characters anyway
Well, as the picture says, with this bad boy you can use 86 characters per line.
Eh, depends on the language and the context. I still use 80 for C, but I’ve found 120 to be a much more reasonable number for Java.

What the heck, is this real?
Yes. It’s a commercial signage display, not intended for desktop use.
Oh thanks. That makes (more) sense now!
