Someone:

html, body { max-width: 640px !important; }

Reminds me of what the official Instagram client looked like on iPad, a lot of margins, and a bit of that 640px wide feed (or whatever the actual width was)

Don’t know if it’s still the same

That’s because they didn’t make an iPad app and so it was just the iOS app on a large screen. Lots of app used to be like this until they made iPadOS versions.

Is there actually an OS called iPadOS? I thought it was just iOS?

Looks like nothing has changed. This is how it opens up on 4k screen. Although, it looks like they tweaked it a little. Up until recently I remember opening a post would show a hilariously small like 800 by 600-something box, half of which was comment section that’d fit like 5 comments at best. But now they finally made it properly scalable.

The only reason I have an extension for custom css is this bullshit on far to many pages and I only have a normal Ultrawide

But why? That’s the most pointless screen ratio I’ve yet to see.

That was my first thought. I’d happily have one of these, but wall-mounted somewhere with high footfall, displaying a dashboard of some kind.

I heard those screens can be programmatically split onto several logical displays. I guess, the only advantage is not having borders between them.

It feels a bit off to me, indeed

If it was slightly flexible, it’d be a good driving sim screen wrapped half way around the rig.

It’s “four screens side by side” display. Why not, I guess.

I don’t understand how this guy has an audience. I saw one video that was alright where he cleaned a water-cooling system. The rest were like, “look at all this garbage we bought on Aliexpress lol,” and I bounce after several seconds.

For people interested in tech edutainment he’s alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.

So much terrible click bait has meant I haven’t bothered clicking in a year or so though.

Same. I love any of their “infrastructure” type videos. One of my favorites is when their storage server almost kicked the bucket and they showed the unimaginably stressful recovery process.

Yeah he was much better a while back. Though that can be said for most of youtube. The algo messes up everything

I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn’t require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can’t be serious all the time.

More or less my stance as well.
I don’t want or need 24/7 GamersNexus. The team is great but oh boy is it dry.

He’s got a lot of charisma. And his videos frequently give that “people doing something they should have prepared more for but pushing through anyways” entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he’s in way over his head, but somehow still manages to keep it going.

It’s a weird spot where I like the guy and want to see him succeed but also don’t think he deserves that success and want to see him fail.

Though I don’t really spend much time watching hardware enthusiast videos in general, so I probably won’t see either of those unless it goes viral like his last shitshow did.

I liked the time when he tried to use linux and ended up destroying his os by blindly following googled command line instructions
