I'm using Parsec as a client on MacOS to connect a windows PC that has 3 monitors. is there any efficient way of switching between various monitors besides the right click menu? Creating spaces for each monitor would be the ultimate, but barring that, anything else?

Multiple choice: - Always using the same dpi scaling on all your monitors (e.g. 150%) - Only use 100% scaling on every monitor (a.k.a. don't buy a 4K/5K display) - Buy 49" ultrawide so you only need 1 monitor - Switch to MacOS instead of Windows - Something else?

make sure the ram is at default speeds (no XMP overclocking etc.) , proper voltage, and disconnect the power and reset switch in case these switches are defective. use a screwdriver or a known good power switch to turn the computer on.

She's a 20 year old with some extrovert tendancies, who had just moved by herself to a new country. I'd say it would be more unlikely that she didn't date a co-worker or a friend of a co-worker. Yes, I'm making an assumption, but I don't think it's an unfair one.

If she was dating someone on the team, then suddenly what can be interpreted as "sexual harassment" becomes very he-said she-said. We can't take anything someone says at face value when those types of relationships happen. It's probably a lot more complicated, and people will jump to the conclusions. I suspect the problems were not at all related to sexual harassment at first. And then someone who didn't like her like made derogatory comments. Could be been avoided if management would have resolved the conflict early. As far as grabbing goes... that's a big accusation. If there was no "grey area" (i.e. dating someone on the team, or her initiating playful grabs on other occasions), then that's a serious problem at LTT. Actually the person above me made some excellent points.

Sexual harassment between 2 employees probably occurred, but I would suspect that was _not_ due to LTT taking this lightly. It was an interpersonal conflict left to marinate inappropriately, at which point people start to insult and resent each other. Everytime there's a divorce or a inter workplace conflict, these kinds of comments of harassment surface. It's usually not because the workplace tolerates sexual harassment, it's because minor conflicts, and fears of job insecurity, were not addressed and were allowed to escalate into resentment and name-calling.

My speculative thoughts: Madison was not a good "fit" with LTT , and the company could have handled this better. Stress level increases, which created some internal conflicts. LTT misjudged the amount of stress she was under and/or failed to provide proper resources to help her make the transition, given her age group. Perhaps she was not yet ready for a full-time role but in order to be allowed to change country she had to do 40hrs a week? Wouldn't surprise me if it was something dumb like that. When being unable to cope with job various requirements, suddenly it became an adversarial relationship, in which case rude comments were exchanged and she fell into a defensive mode. Madison has a big personality and was going through personal challenges of her own; the proper response by LTT should have been to lighten the load. Perhaps what we're seeing here is a lack of flexibility from executives. Do I think LTT should be blamed of being a workplace of sexual harassment and hate? No, that seems like an exaggeration. I suspect there was an inter-office romance that did not go well, but that's just me rambling.

Without civic duty there is only business & money... as tech reviewers in a large space they have a responsibility to evaluate and influence bad industry practices. Not a legal responsibility, but a social one. They don't have to do it for the topics I'm interested in, but they should do it for some topics. They haven't been doing very much tech activism as of late to push through industry change.

bumping this thread in case anyone at LTT happens to take notice and do their civic duty

300$ is over budget, yes. Good to know that it exists though. There are high wattage (1000W) inverters that show up on facebook marketplace for 60$ sometimes. Is there a general-purpose lithium battery pack that I can connect to those that would be safe and more cost effective than buying pre-built power station? I'm avoiding lead-acid mainly due to the size and weight, (and I assume slow recharging)

It looks like almost every car inverter with a wattage greater than 75W has a fan , and many of them can get quite loud, even at low loads. If you choose pure sine wave, there are even less options, which means less reviews online on fan noise. I want to get the most value for my investment, while not compromising on fan noise when drawing low loads (e.g. 60 Watts). I may be willing to spend more if there are additional features like: - Builtin-battery - Ability to recharge while in use (run an appliance off inverter battery while inverter battery is being recharged by the car) - Hybrid fan 0rpm at low loads - pure sine wave - high wattage I don't need ALL of these, but i'm trying to optimize my purchase by getting the most features at the lowest price.

It's likely, but not certain, that almost any laptop (with 16gb of ram or more) would be adequate. AutoCad for example will even run to some extent on crappy computers without a dedicated GPU. In some cases there is specialised CAD software that prefers "quadro" over a regular graphics card, but this is usually only preference and not an absolute requirement. Certainly, you might want something with a display resolution of at least 1080p for CAD applications, but that's pretty much every computer. Here's a chatgpt conversation that might be helpful. https://chat.openai.com/share/2f147dde-c99b-4da9-9d08-0c84bbbdae39

Well, you at least have options to do it in 3rd party apps, whereas using 3rd party apps to connect to sharepoint is a sub-optimal solution in terms of performance

I guess the same can be said for teams, but sharepoint doesn't get enough hate. When you separate the person paying the bills (CEO) from the people using the software (Employees) the UX is bound to be complete shit I have a lot of content on sharepoint for my job. I. If I try to use the sorting, it crashes or says I've reached a 5,000 item limit. - If I try to copy too many things to onedrive at once, it says no - I can't sort folders by filesize of the content - have to scroll down for MINUTES every time to see all the folders - managing permissions is a nightmare that kicks me into the "legacy" sharepoint interface - I press "select all" with the checkmark on top of the page and it only selects 50 fucking items unless I scroll down more , manually - No Treeview? lol . We had this in Windows 95 - Some of the best ideas online on how to make a backup of your sharepoint software is to buy a synology nas because their plugin is apparently good. LOL. I bet I'll probably lose all the metadata permission & sharing settings, it will just be flat copy. Oh yeah I love the idea of using cyberduck and other random software to mount my stuff, I'm *sure* that's not going to give me a different set of problems!

Guess I might do AM4 ... or buy AM5 though Amazon so I can return it. No way I put up with Coil Whine, I'd switch to Apple before I do that.
