There are currently 34 different computer monitors in the 40-45" range. Prices vary from $316 to $2000. B&H had 20 results. They even have short throw protectors for less than $200 if you want to go that route. Amazon had multiple if you are willing to wade through their cesspool of a search engine.

The world is your oyster, don't let perceived problems stand in your way.

I will copy my response to another poster:

Can't speak for the US as a whole but everywhere I've lived Domino's is the cheapest. I can get a medium 2 topping pizza at dominoes for $6.99. We have 3 family run traditional pizza places within driving distance of where I live, for a 2 topping medium pizza they cost: $14.75, $15.99, or $18.99.

I love that he brought Wilson with him.

No

I have a bit over 60 YouTubers I'm subscribed to on YouTube. Am I supposed to pay $60+ every month to have access to them? The cheapest patreon I've ever seen was for $1 and that wasn't even for full access just a "buy me coffee, thanks" tier.

What about discoverability, how am I supposed to randomly stumble across niche content creators that don't have a huge following?

Not saying it isn't possible I just can't seem to wrap my head around how it would work.

I keep seeing people throw this idea out there but I have yet to have received a reasonable answer to a simple question: How would content creators get paid on a federated video platform?

Music. I can play close to a dozen instruments with enough skill that I could sit in as a stand in player for a large variety of genres. I do everything in my power to avoid letting people around me know.

I make music as a way to meditate and relax. I can throw down a synthesizer drone and spend an hour+ noodling on the piano, guitar, cello etc without doing any recording or writing down stuff. I've got probably 100 or so short 4-12 bar ideas saved on my computer. I probably will never do anything with them but I like going back and rediscovering where I was musically/emotionally.

The dubstep phase was, in a word, terrible.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw that, cracked me up.

Any microphone or better yet audio interface with an "instrument in" jack will work with the game. I'd personally rather not rely on a single use type computerized cable from a game company that doesn't support the game anymore.

I love when people like the guy you responded to show up, it's so easy to block them on Lemmy.

Sorry, definitely touched a nerve.

I am really enjoying Lemmy but the vast amount of users that are proponents of piracy/ad blocking without being open to ANY discourse is really frustrating and gets super annoying.

There is a post about Blockbuster phasing out DVD's. One commenter said since the enshittification of streaming services they and their friends have been buying more physical media so not being able to go to Blockbuster kind of sucks. Some users immediate reaction was to call them out for "being stupid" and providing a link for free streaming (aka piracy) and that "as long as you have ublock then you're good to go".

There are people here on Lemmy that will one second scream " work reform! Unionize! Pay me a living wage!" And then immediately turn around and say "Yea, I'm going to do everything in my power to prevent these creators of media from making money. Adblock + PiHole + VPN + Piracy is the only way to use the internet. They don't deserve my money"

I frequently pirate movies, AFTER I have purchased a physical copy of said movie. Someday I hope that we can use something like the blockchain to tie ownership to digital files regardless of platform but at the moment that's a pipe dream.

So in the mean time, I will have my ads or I will pay my monthly fee's, because I want people to be paid for what they created. Even if it's Disney or Marvel or insert giant company here they created something that didn't exist before that I enjoy. They deserve to make money off that.

Some people don't base their entire personality around hating the existence of ads and jumping through outrageous amounts of steps to avoid them.

So yeah, count me in for a TV that always works how I want it to but had a background ad that I can completely ignore and has no actual bearing on my life.

There are so many more important things for me to spend my time and energy worrying about.

My name is "Robert'); DROP TABLES".

I drive for UPS and the pick me up I get from taking a quick cat nap in the back of the truck cannot be overstated.

Man this guy needs some better sized monitors. He's going to have some serious eye strain trying to get work done on those tiny things at that distance.

It's a phrase some people use. Specifically prevalent in California. "Parking their Ass in the left lane" Means somebody driving in the left lane at 10mph below the speed limit.

I can't even begin to count how many times I have come acrossa slew of 5 star reviews for something COMPLETELY unrelated to the listed item at the very top of search results. Product: Wood Headphone Stand. Review: This kitchen whisk is so amazing, it saved my marriage, 23 out of 5 stars.

OH and don't forget the reviewer that when you access their profile you see that they have posted 76 reviews in a single day and every single one of them is 5 stars with the title "Great 'X'! " where x is the product title.

Don't get me wrong, I used Amazon back when it only sold books and I've been using Prime since it came out non-stop but the quality of the items, the search results, and the trust I have in the platform has gone waaaaaaaaaay down.

Seriously, I average 3.5 hours of watch time a day so I am paying roughly 10 cents per hour. That is a phenomenal deal. I can't think of any other form of entertainment anywhere remotely near that cheap.

Youtube is effectively the only form of streaming my wife and I use. We have access to others through family members accounts but probably 19 times out of 20 we go straight for YouTube.

Name another streaming service where I can watch a 171 video saga spanning six years covering every single nut, bolt, plank, and brass fitting of a historic sailing ship restoration.

I have lost count but I think we are up to something like 130 subscriptions.
