Tldr: you’re better off just buying a new monitor, and don’t go down the road paved with adapters and vague vendor promises. That way lies madness.

I’ve tried several combinations of docks and adapters, and if you do go that way, only get a dock which natively outputs something your monitor accepts and stay the fuck away from Targus, their display link implementation will add a whole new layer of frustration to your troubleshooting.

Adapters often require power, and sometimes the dock can’t supply that power in the long run. I have had setups work for 4months before suddenly a monitor dropping out randomly. As in working fine, then no connection and a few seconds later back online. After 3 docks and 4 sets of adapters, the only thing that worked was dropping the adapters and getting new monitors.

I’d maybe try youtube music, if google didn’t force it down my throat. But when I can’t uninstall it without rooting my phone. Or when I’ve got Spotify already setup, and then have to specify that I want to use it on my home devices. That’s just annoying.

Me: ok google! Bedroom lamps color red, bedroom lamps intensity 30% and play Diana Krall the look of love on the bedroom speakers

Google: Playing The Look of Love by Diana Krall from youtube music, but first listen to these ads before you get your freak on

TBH it’s been awhile since I used NNTP to download Linux images. Probably like 8 or 10 years. So I have no idea what’s up these days. I think I used astra because headers didn’t count in your quota, and I had my own indexer so I pulled a lot of headers. Funny how alt.binaries.linuximages and alt.binaries.erotica.amateur.realmoms.fetish.diapers didn’t get indexed by the major free indexer at the time.

“use”…“net”…? I seem to have heard the term before, but it is as if that part of my memory has been formatted, almost redacted, countless of times…

I want to help you, friend, but I suggest you don’t utter those words again, lest you find your memory wiped… Also you should google news about Astra or something like that, I’ve found astra to have the most complete news coverage ;-)

And here I was just happy to have an excuse for not reading a wall text other than “I don’t wanna”
