Nice program, but comes with some bundled adware in certain versions.

I have now used it a few times, but have not seen any sign of adware. The first time it pops an ad will be the last time I use it!
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Check your sources; it's not uncommon for some "download sites" to repackage existing installers and include, ummm, "some little extras". I'm looking at you, CNet.
ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 (the latest) hasn't changed in a decade, and as far as I can tell, has never included adware.

If it is not listed there yet. It would be nice if you post it in: Free Tools Discussion Boards[^]
This way the information doesn't get to limbo within hours as in the lounge

Hi All,
Got this today:

Thanks for sharing this information with us. As we know that for compiler and interpreter you should have better connectivity. So for further addition buy cisco catalyst now and unleash your server experience and connectivity more better.

Ummm, did someone post to my article by accident? By the looks of it he's not a newby...

Spammer, and he's been terminated.

Umm OK, that explains why there was no message on my article. Look up his ID seems to have published more than I have.

Seems excessive. Couldn't you terminate only the account?

Nope. It is no longer a polite world. Need to get mean to get the point across.
So be good or don't answer the door.

Aargh...
Workday uses Excel Data Validation lists to bury critical information for their importer. Took me three days to figure this out and only by using an XML viewer after extracting the xlsx file into a folder via 7-zip.
This, of course, isn't documented.

If it were, it would be easy and everyone could do it.

Decided to drop my two monitors setup in favour a single 34" curved monitor. Technically, all works fine but my brain doesn't seem to like the curvature. It's like it somehow interferes with the z-order on screen and some windows seem "behind" just because they are further away from me. It's all a bit difficult to describe.
Questions are: has anyone else had these strange sensations with curved monitors or it's just me who's weird? Secondly, are you using curved monitors and do you enjoy them?

Never owned them, but I've always felt it was just the latest gimmick the manufacturers were trying to push onto consumers to convince them they needed to replace their TVs.
ChatGPT can't even give me a straight answer as to the proportion of curved monitor sales vs traditional ones. I suspect they're about to be forgotten like 3D TVs are.
Of course YMMV, you may have a great application for it in which case I'm happy for anyone who finds himself in that situation.

This one is not a TV replacement. I've got it only as a work monitor. Figured all that curve would make my eyes stay a constant distance from screen. As I said, might have made a mistake.

I've got a single large 34" curved monitor.
It works well for monitors because you're at the center of the curve and so all points of the screen are the same distance away from your eyes.
It works poorly on TV, because multiple people watch TV at the same time and they can't all be in the center at the same time.

^ This.
If there's just one person who needs to be sitting in the "sweet spot"...then great.
But then to replicate the multi-monitor setup I currently have (4K 40" TV + 2 additional 1080P monitors), I'd need to stack a few of these monitors one on top of the other. This looks nice...

I see no use for a curved monitor when I can spread my desktop over multiple monitors and "angle" them any way I want. A single view that is greater than (say) 27", means you have to back up (or swivel your eyes / head) at some point in order to take it all in (depending on your eyes).

Hmm, I see a pattern forming in these answers: "Yes Mircea, you were indeed silly!"

They do look nice on display in a store.
In spite of that, I just can't shake the feeling it would be a poor replacement for my current setup (which, granted, is not without its own flaws).

Yes, while I didn't have that particular issue, what happened was my visual system started to compensate for the curvature so ultimately the monitors appeared flat. When looking at an actual flat screen, it appeared to bow out. Who knows what it did to my world perception. I ditched them eventually, it took months for my visual system to recover to where flat was flat.
They should put a warning on these things that it'll f*** with how you see things.

I have never used a curved monitor and have no intention to do so in this lifetime or the next.
However, a couple of developers I have worked with in the past had used them. One liked it, the other did not. The one that did not like the curved monitor went back to their prior dual 27inch monitor setup.
Don't really know why the one did not like the single curved monitor.
I currently use both at home and at work, a dual 27inch monitor setup. The only way to fly IMHO.
Cheers.
