To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

Jump

  • I'm a dev manager... I have 3x4k monitors. I watch server loads, I watch the build pipeline and watch the commit logs etc.

    Overkill these days, but I'm also a gamer sooooo....

    • Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy

    Jump

  • I'm a senior manager at a pretty big company.

    That's something she does on the side, and if anyone in the workplace gave her shit, I would tell them to leave it the fuck alone unless they wanted me to bring HR in to the convo.

    Can people please not be cunts? (I'm an Aussie...)

    Edit: People need to disconnect things. Say there's leaked nudes (or even just public nudes) of a work colleague. Let's take it to they used to do porn. Yep, that's something they did. That has zero impact on their role now or who they are in their role. They don't deserve shame, or ridicule.

    • Yeee yee

    • Uber to pay Australian taxi operators $272 million in class action settlement

    Jump

  • I once got a taxi from Sydney airport when I was there for work. The guy tried to go through the boom gate by tailgating the car in front. Broke the boom gate and just kept driving.

    Lots of taxi drivers here are completely terrible. Try to rip people off and have had a lot of friends file sexual harassment complaints too.

    • Huawei may have used a very clever trick to make hard disks use less power — spin-on-demand disk drives may well compete with tape on performance, but at what cost?

    Jump

  • It was a problem with early WD green drives IIRC. The power management was exceptionally aggressive and caused massive issues when put in to any RAID-like set up. You could override it though generally.

    • Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG

    Jump

  • I manage a web dev team. We try to optimise as much as possible but then there's all sorts of tracking that gets tacked on by personalisation teams, opti teams, things like Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter/X scripts inserted too... It's pretty shit. And sometimes when things break it makes it super hard to debug too

    • What are some signs that someone's addicted to video games?

    Jump

  • First two (as others have mentioned) can be symptoms of Anhedonia

    • What is your favorite alcoholic cocktail?

    Jump

  • Adding to your list:

    Sloe gin sour

    Sloe gin fizz

    • Australia's most painful creatures

    Jump

  • There's also Nationalispoliticus

    • British warship and U.S. aircraft seize 6,000 pounds of cocaine and other drugs after "high-speed chase" in Caribbean Sea

  • I thought of it as a great band name...

    • Matildas captain Sam Kerr charged over alleged racially aggravated harassment of police officer

    Jump

  • To be honest I don't follow any sports at all, was just curious about what was going on. But you're right, speculation doesn't help anyone.

    • Matildas captain Sam Kerr charged over alleged racially aggravated harassment of police officer

    Jump

  • Completely agree. I will admit Australians are terrible at casual racism then when someone gets (rightly) riled up the response is "it was just a joke!" is super common too, which is just doubly insulting.

    • Matildas captain Sam Kerr charged over alleged racially aggravated harassment of police officer

    Jump

  • Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you should just use it at random and it's acceptable. As with even words like "queer" you should know whether they're OK with using the term to refer to someone rather than just assume they're OK with it.

    • Matildas captain Sam Kerr charged over alleged racially aggravated harassment of police officer

    Jump

  • I was surprised about "wog" too. I'm a Melburnian and reading some of the comments here just made me realise it could just be a Melbourne thing. A lot of my friends refer to themselves by that term and want us to use it too as a sign of closeness/affection.

    I'd never heard Paki in Australia before either.

    Really it's all about intent and intonation. Given what we call close friends and sworn enemies alike ;)

    • What item do you own that has an unexpectedly high value?

  • I just came back to this thread. What did I start?! :)

    • Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’

    Jump

  • Australia is the most expensive place in the world for cigarettes so... The latter. But they won't ban it because it makes the govt. so much money.

    • American Taylor Swift fans are flummoxed by the MCG's lack of parking. But Australia still has way too much of it

    Jump

  • I live right near the MCG and a decent number of people still drive in. I'm not sure why though since the city council makes a fortune by doing the rounds 2 hours in to a game and ticketing everyone without a parking permit (which is a lot of people) and the number of vehicle break-ins is pretty high too.
