Honestly if I could just print up a new tablet instantly and without cost, I would have half a dozen around me when I am deep into a research fugue.

Being able to quickly and easily flip between books or articles (or even different sections of the same book) while at the same time keeping the existing information up on a screen that I can directly reference is great.

Why are there 4 browsers split between 2 monitors with dozens of tabs a piece?

I'm starting to feel limited at two monitors and I think I have a problem. I don't even know what I'd use #3 for yet, I just would like to have options.

If nothing else, remember to stay hydrated and wash your hands.

I can see it used for that sort of thing, but they pass them around like they're post-it notes.

They apparently put the human element back into communications by having a third party physically carry the message like pre-screen eras. For reasons, you see.

I have a 42inch curved 4K main monitor.

It's fucking huge.

Still have 2 27 inch ones in portrait to each side for documentation and browsing.

That sounds amazing. Honest question: how much more screen would it take before a full VR setup would seem more practical? Not everyone has a battlestation like this, and I'm genuinely curious where the line is. Thank you.

Rather have 4x 21" screens though.

Much easier to organise all the different windows that way.

Both Windows and Linux do a rather fantastic job at restoring your desktop to its previous state if you ever reboot.

And in Windows, if you use Powertoys, the options to do so grow even more.
