IM 829: The Yonkers Questions

Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…

What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

I have used ultra-wide displays and now a 44" 4K monitor running at 100%, I would never go back to 2 separate monitors. I generally have Teams (work) or email (home) on the laptop display and everything else on the main monitor, I generally have my email and browser on the right hand side of the display, my “reference” side of the display, and then Word, Excel, TeamViewer, RDP windows etc. on the left, my “working” windows.

As to MUD, I had a friend who worked as an operator in the UK and played the original MUD on the Essex University mainframe over night. Once, he played a whole team through a bank of terminals, each dialing into the University separately. That racked up a 4 figure telecoms bill for that month (a lot of money for the mid 80s). Luckily he was friends with the senior operator who was responsible for the telecoms bill and he managed to push it across multiple projects, on the unterstanding that it never happen again!

Leo - per your comment about smart crows (I think it was). Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpg3VvoIVfA

Wow, that’s amazing. It’s true about crows, but it’s ever more amazing how much Rober puts into his videos. That’s totally professional content, tuned for the YouTube aesthetic. He’s really a paragon of what a YouTuber should be. I hope he’s making a decent living giving the many hours he must have spent on that video alone!

Based on the amount of money he must spend on some of his videos, I assume he is making good money, that or he has a large trust fund and just loves doing it.
