I still have 24" DELL monitors that refuse to die. So I continue to trust them for my new one.
You also never know, I may need a VGA/svideo/component/DVI port again some day. And that is all on one monitor, including HDMI and Display Port.

Today I found out this is an Australian only saying.

Thank you, this also makes sense why the phones themselves need to be compatible.

I suggest everyone read past the headline and first paragraph. There is a lot more going on here.

I am in no way a smart glasses advocate. But I do wonder what Australia's (and other similar countries) consumer rights have to say about this.

Thank you for reminding me of Everything. It made me look awesome during a file discovery project at my last workplace.

Ummm... 190 / 84 here. But I think I have it about right. Yes I walk a Lot.

These guys have been doing this for years. They are the best dogs.

Everyone saying "why not use VLC?" Because I have never liked its interface. MPC BE though... That is my jam.

I can't remember the actual errors. I was running it on an old DELL PC they I had added an extra drive to, I think it was an SSD I had lying about. Everything would be running fine with no errors, Linux and Windows VM's. Then one day all services were offline. Being a PC I had to plug in a screen+KB/Mouse. The host OS would boot and then flood the screen with errors regarding unable to mount the storage. troubleshooting with Boot USB showed all of the virtual Partitions (the ones that the VM data sits in) had been corrupted. Maybe a Linux guru could have restored them but I was lost.
I started over with a clean install of Proxmox, Maybe I had done something wrong the first time. I cant remember if I managed to restore the VM's from backup. A few months later Bam, exact same thing happened again. I thought maybe my PC or drives had issues but decided to try Windows 2019 HyperV host instead. That ran for 2 years without issues on the same hardware.

My host OS is Windows Server 2022 because I Prefer it, HyperV works, Windows Backup works, and the drivers work. I then run a Linux VM for Docker and a few other VM's for silly things. If I break a VM I can have it restored in a few clicks. I tried to use Proxmox as the host OS but it would kill itself every 6 months. It was a good learning experience but it would take a Lot of convincing to try it again.

That heat pump is an interesting read. Thank you for the link.
