I’ve been in this situation for a few years now (Working from home, wanting to share screens between devices).

KVMs and HDMI Switches are what to look for, as others have said. Scenes aren’t something you’re going to get cheaply, but you’ve still got options. For reference, I currently have three 27in 1440p monitors.

The first one I bought was a cheap 2 HMDI IN->2 HDMI OUT that worked pretty well. It’s straight 1-to-1 matching, you can’t mix and match what goes where without actually moving the cables, but it was great for having my main and right monitor be easily switched between my Desktop and Work computers. My left monitor is just for my desktop so I can multitask.

It died after a couple years and I upgraded my main monitor to my first 1440p which it couldn’t handle anyways. I wanted to use my main with Display Port so I got a 1 HDMI IN->2 HDMI OUT for just my right monitor. Center monitor has multiple inputs so I just use the screen’s buttons to switch.

My current monitor setup I literally setup this week. Each has multiple HDMI and DP inputs and it takes just a few seconds to switch each one with its built in switcher, and I honestly think this is the way to go.

After a few years of doing it, I say if you are able to, prioritize nice monitors with multiple inputs and use their built in systems for switching. A few more button presses, but that’s just a few seconds of time.

I’m still not sure what you mean either. Not once have I ever needed to use the ‘Circle to Search’ feature (what happens when the Home key is held on Pixels, which appears to be what you’re using in your picture) to save a picture. If I want a screenshot, I just use Power+VolDown

Edit: I see what you mean now. The app switcher (Using gestures so swiping up from the home button) is what you’re using. Yeah, copy button now. Just select Files from the list and it’ll download it. Likely changed to prioritize sharing memes quickly instead of doanloading for personal use.

Commenting more so I can easily find this thread again, since I’d be curious as well.

For personal photos that I share I use Immich, and Immich-Proxy for sharing the photos (so I’m don’t want to directly share the actual URL of my Immich server). Works well for that, but doesn’t anywhere meet the drag and drop simplicity of Imgur.

I’d sure hope that the latest generation of a technology would be considered safe. That’s generally how things work. And then when accidents occur, we learn and make things safer the next time.

As to them considering it completely safe, I’d love to read about that if you have sources. Cause I doubt that they thought it couldn’t fail.

Chernobyl happened through the incompetence of leadership, not because they thought it was “completely safe”.

Much different, IME. Digital rides generally sit in a single room instead of a whole actual ride, but the chairs/carts more around, drop you, etc. If it’s something like a nature exploration (flying around the world) they’ll often increase the experience with tactile things like spray (when above an ocean) and wind. They’re pretty cool

FLIRC is your friend! It’s a USB IR receiver that you can train with literally any IR remote you have. Once you set it up (and it does take a little elbow grease to train it), it just works.

I’ve never understood it either. I have to assume it’s a younger generation thing that’s moving into more online spaces as that generation grows up.

ETA will always be Estimated Time of Arrival. An actual useful acronym.

But if it’s absolutely required

It’s not.

For now. Don’t fight to give them an inch

Only real ones

I’ve been using SwiftKey since before Microslop bought them, I think way back to my Nexus 7 tablet. It’s… enshitefied in some ways with extra bloat, but I’m way too used to it at this point and I do love it’s customization options.

To me it’s separating services, which I’m getting ready to do. I’ve got 40-50 containers running at any time on my Unraid server, and I’ve been meaning to migrate some of those stacks to their own dedicated machines, mainly for downtime/maintenance on my main server.

Now I’m not going to go out and buy several PCs just for that, but I do have some old unused laptops that would love having Linux thrown on them…

With the hotline and guides you still had to actually play yourself. This is a step further, you just watch the game play itself.

I continue to be baffled how people keep making this mistake. ‘H’ is nowhere near the letters in ‘were’.

Don’t need a license to have the radio or even to use it to listen. Only need a license to transmit.

You’re standing on a soap box on the street corner. My downvote is me frowning, shaking my head in disappointment, and walking away.

I second SWAG. nginx, let’s encrypt, plenty of ready-to-go configs, it’s pretty great

Done, should have done that a lot sooner. Also make sure to go into the reviews and mark ones calling out the abandonment as helpful to boost them.

I use it as an overconfident rubber duck to bounce ideas and solutions off of in my code, but I don’t let it write for me. I don’t want the skills I’ve practiced to atrophy
