>>20933 It more or less does, here it is at 12px (the last one was 48px) with a regular bitmap atlas for comparison. You can start noticing some flitering fuckery going on when you scale it up. I think I saw that you can mitigate a bit it by using multiple channel sdf's, so I might look into that later. Also i realized that i wasn't scaling the glyph bearing properly, so I fixed that here. >That makes me nervous, almost gpu coil whine levels. Don't worry, i just uncapped the framerate so i can see where the limits are in my shitty third worlder pc with integrated graphics (so no coil whining either kek).

>be a PC, not a mac >have a productive ace up your sleeve, the right click button that instantly gives you double the buttons >brings up context sensitive options and menus in one click across all applications >now disappearing in many apps and websites It's frustrating. Our company just spent millions "upgrading" to a new ERP, and it's all web browser based and there is no right click use whatsoever, even though the whole company uses PCs only. Want to open a link in a new tab? Too bad. You can't do that anymore. You need to open a new session and browse your way to where you need to go. Oh everything takes forever to load trying to do that? Too bad! You still have your deadline. Oh you have to press "show more" a billion times to get to a link, even though your standard 1080p screen has plenty of empty space to show everything, and your computers are all top of the line and have the memory to show everything. Too bad! Click a dozen times when before you just clicked right click, open new tab. It's maddening. No longer can you copy or paste with your mouse, get to options, or drill down to get around in the ERP like before. Everything is a huge step back and productivity suffers, and for what? I've noticed this trend for over a decade with computers, but I feel like it's hitting a breaking point where there will be no job or modern program that will be "normal" anymore.

>>21996 Alright, whats a transmitter you'd recommend matching it with and how much is it going to set me back?
>>21998 That depends on how much you're willing to spend and how far you wanna go out. The unfortunate truth though that I've only just realized now is that your receiver only has the AM mode, when most hams nowadays for voice use a mode called SSB which AM receivers can pick up only in a distorted way. You may need to look into either somehow modifying the receiver to give it SSB support or you may have to rely on the transceiver for SSB communications. I'm not entirely sure what you need to switch between a receiver and a transceiver when you push to talk mind you, I'm just assuming you can do it with any. The typical "budget" transceiver is gonna be the chunk Xiegu G90, which only gives you about 20 watts of power and 5 watts with AM. Unfortunately, 5 watts with AM is gonna get you near-nowhere. A new G90 is gonna set you back about $500 or so including a cheap lithium battery for a couple hours of use before recharging. If you want more power, the ICOM 7300 has 100 watts SSB/25 watts AM, which would set you back about a grand not including power supply. If you want to talk on AM effectively you're likely gonna need an amplifier to increase your output power as high as possible. Good luck and sorry for not being able to tell you earlier bro.

3 + 3 monitor setup Anonymous 04/26/2025 (Sat) 00:11:18 No. 21127 [Reply]
Guys I want to have a 3 + 3 monitor setup eventually (so I can get external devices in same field of view as my system monitors), but I haven't got the slightest idea how am I supposed to get the 4th monitor in the middle. The table is close to a wall, and behind the middle monitor there's no gaps/holes in the table for a clamp table mount or whatever. However to both sides of the table (left and right) there are circular holes, where if I had a large arm mount, I could probably have 1 or 2 (either side or both) to support the middle monitor (or even 3 if it's big mount from both sides, idk). Other option is that I would have to drill holes on the wall. I haven't got clue about the table arm mounts or whatever, but how hard would it be to pull it off with them alone (when they're coming from sides)? If it works I wouldn't need to drill holes to wall.

>>21221 I currently have 3x 1080p setup, and for me it seems to work perfectly, there's no scaling issues with applications (since some software or stuff don't scale well with higher PPI/DPIs), I just need the 1 or 3 monitors on top row for external sources, because then I could keep all monitors within my field of view. Problem is that directly behind the middle monitor there's no place on the table to attach clamp mount on the table (since there's some "side wall" under the table that prevents doing it, only with the 2 holes on the sides could do it with some long ass arms).
bump. If I buy a table clamp mount that's has long enough arm and is sturdy make, it should be good enough for one 23-24" monitor, right? That way I could have 1 monitor above my middle monitor, that would be used for game consoles and stuff.
>>21638 Once you go 4k you never go back. With 3 4k monitors you have so much real estate. For me, my left monitor is just vim (so many buffers), my center monitor is a game / youtube / or teams (if I'm presenting in a meeting) and my right monitor is 2-3 web browser windows. Its very hard to reproduce that on 1080p, especially when its normal for me to have 8 terminals + 4 files open on my left monitor all visible at the same time. Not saying this applies to you, but I'm speaking from experience.

WHAT THE HELL ARE BLOCKCHAINS?! Anonymous 03/28/2021 (Sun) 03:07:55 No. 3197 [Reply]
Call me a retard, but why does it feel like all explanations I see in regards to "blockchains" seem to make the actual explanation of them only more and more complicated? Can someone actually explain, in layman's terms, what blockchain actually are? And, more importantly, how they operate outside of just functioning as a currency?
23 posts and 2 images omitted.
>>17895 >super passionate Cool, you mind answering a retard's question? Could blockchain be used to host something like a private server amongst friends? Think of a discord server for a group or a game server, like maybe 100 people or so, for the purpose of the question, invite only. Instead of everything being hosted on a server, could it be hosted on a small chain? Rather than having someone host, you just send your friends a link, through that they join the chain. Once on chain, and as long as they're online, they're helping to host. Get a few guys together and you no longer have a single point of failure. I mean, if cryptominers can run mostly undetectable on people's computers (the ones that sneak in with sketchy downloads, etc) couldn't a small blockchain run on very low-impact nodes? I guess it might work better as essentially proof of stake, but the "stake" would just be an assigned role as a trusted user on that server. I'm imagining a chat program where each server is deployed as its own chain. Is this already done with other tech? Am I just dumb as fuck and this is either not feasible or doesn't solve anything? I feel like I explained this like shit. lol
