@atpfm One of my two cinema displays finally died in my work office. So after waiting as long as I could, I went with the Samsung ViewFinity S9. Got two.

Long story short, I returned them. They're terrible. Cheap but terrible, even at sub-$1400 for two. Here's my short review - 1/x

1. As you mentioned, WOBBLY AS HELL. Even just typing, wobbly
2. Takes FOREVER to wake up from sleep
3. Every single time it woke up, it moved my Dock to the other monitor
4. Power brick the size of Kansas
5. Needs the internet for most functions, otherwise you have a much longer process (eg firmware update). I don't want it online!
6. Mac keyboard brightness control not supported!
7. Camera is mediocre
8. Remote is stupid and unnecessary

Anyway, returned both. Got Studio Displays.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas received over $4,700,000 since 1991 in unreported gifts and travel.

This, according to a report issued after a two-year investigation by a U.S. Senate ethics committee.

Clarence Thomas needs to be removed for tax evasion, being compromised, and for unethical behavior .

Are #Abortion Bans Across America Causing Deaths? The States That Passed Them Are Doing Little to Find Out.

The same political leaders who enacted abortion bans oversee the state committees that review maternal deaths. These committees haven’t tracked the laws’ impacts, and most haven’t finished examining cases from the year the bans went into effect.

putin’s Ukraine obsession began 20 years ago with the Orange Revolution

By Peter Dickinson

"putin’s desire to crush #Ukraine first began to take shape two decades ago as he watched the Ukrainian people defy their own authoritarian rulers and demand a democratic future."

So many folks miss this. Given the Russian self image as an empire, that Ukraine was not part of the empire was a 'temporary setback' until it the Orange Revolution showed that it was never coming back.

ChromeOS is exactly why you should approach tech industry hype with skepticism.

Because when it first came out, its entire value proposition was, “In the future you can do all your work in the cloud, and you won’t need apps on your hard drive.”

Turns out, people like apps on their hard drive because they’re more trustworthy. They don’t want to depend on websites that disappear over night or on SaaS plans that do an abrupt change with payment plans.

And what people definitely don’t want is more e-waste—because those Chromebooks were largely only useful for two years if you were lucky.

The nail in ChromeOS coffin? Stadia. That should have been the big argument that the cloud could take over even the most hardware intensive tasks.

Google lost that argument, putting Stadia in the graveyard. Now ChromeOS joins it too.

So much for Google’s vision of cloud computing!

A language's set of phonemes is not an alphabet. An alphabet is a group of written symbols that represent phonemes. There doesn't seem to be a word for the set of phonemes used by a particular language.

English, with about 44 phonemes (varies with variety of English), has more than most languages. Yes, you were write, those of you whose native language is not English, English is a difficult language...and not just phonetically.

BTW, not all languages use alphabets. Japanese uses syllabaries (hiragana and katakana), where each written symbol represents a syllable, sometimes one phoneme, sometimes three, but usually two. (Yes, Japanese also uses logograms, where each symbol represents a word or morpheme.)
