This is one of those jokes that will absolutely spark a trend where in a few months Asus will have a diagonal monitor for sale and there will be videos and articles about how life changing it is.

The Internet was and continues to be a mistake.

I'm still waiting for hexagon monitors as they are clearly the bestagon.

I thought this was an Onion article a few wks ago

[–] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 11 months ago

It all comes from a blog post from 2021. A picture from it went viral on X/Twitter a week ago. (First two links in the article) Since then everyone is posting it.

I can't obviously see it there, I do think its a bit stupid, but I would have thought that Toms Hardware wouldn't have bitten the onion? Or have they gone downhill that far?

[–] wolfshadowheart@slrpnk.net 13 points 11 months ago

They've gone down that far... Lol

I could totally see using this as a display wall. *Kyle in a bunch of them as a store display or a small display.

*When you ask for tile and google gives you Kyle.

I know what I said. I said it.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You have to see the irony in the statement though...

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Explain it to me

[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

You are on the internet, saying internet was and is a mistake. Just found it funny is all. Sorry I bothered you with my comment.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

But will it automatically adjust with an internal gyroscope?
