I googled (in fact Binged, whatever) how to resize videos with VLC.
My next ads on YouTube were all about tools to convert videos!

That is nothing.
I went to a drug store and got some Tenactin spray (anti-fungal medication for the foot). Paid for it with my credit card.
Fifteen minutes later, when I reached home and signed on to my iPad and connected to YouTube, I got references to all sorts of anti fungal treatments.
But it gets worse.
I was flipping through YouTube and was looking at some of the newer road-laying and bridge building machinery in action.
At that time, I started wondering that all these machines would need ball bearings and how do they make billions of perfectly spherical ball bearings.
Next you know, YouTube is showing me on the right hand column (among other suggestions based on my viewing/googling history) how ball bearings are made.
I only thought of ball bearings. Never searched Google or YouTube.
How the heck did they read my mind.
That scares the sh!t out of me!

That's all the 5G implants!

It's obvious. People who look at heavy machinery typically look next for ball bearings. 
EDIT: fixed typo.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I like the mind reading better!

I thought I was safe with 2 x 26" monitors...
But turns out having 1 monitor dedicated to Remote Desktop screwup my visual real estate!
My table is too small for 3x26" monitors as well  (and I am not sure about 2x30")..
First world problems!

I need a better table or support.... But good idea!
|

I use 2 monitors and 2 (virtual) desktops for a total of 4 screen surfaces. I assume you know about that but for some reason is not a good solution for you.

It's about having all the window I need visible at the same time!
I can swap window easily enough...

Maybe a smaller 3rd monitor will give you some breathing room?
I have 1x30" and 1x24" + the 15" for the laptop (the laptop under the 24"). It is not enough space (nothing EVER is), but the 15" is enough to stuff a reference website, email or similar on - which means I can get by with the 3 monitors. Not enough space for the 4th monitor though (and it requires me to use the eGPU that keeps tripping the fuse when I turn it on - so too much hazzle to get an inrush limiter for it).

just get a huge wall hang screen projector. The kind used for conferences, etc. That should be enough screen size for you.
|

|

mm.. interesting idea! 
|

I own such a projector. It's not about size, it's about resolution. Whether the display is 24" or 100", if the resolution is the same, you can't view any more information - it's just bigger. It comes to a point where the screen door effect makes it completely pointless.
If I had to put measurements to it, if you want something worthy of the display area of a projector, it would need to be 8K. Otherwise it's just wasting physical space. I have a 40" TV displaying a 4K image; at that size, text is just a tiny bit too small for my eyesight at its native resolution (at arm's length).

I have 2 40" flat Panel TVs One on each desk. It provides all of the screen space I need and the TV's don't cost that much.

Tut tut tut... I want high resolution and refresh rate as well... does the TVs do that?!

And googling does provide answers. Watching the Microsoft video (a horrid video BTW) I see disembodied avatars missing everything from the waist down (like legs and feet, don't get any other ideas!) doing things that we would normally do in person or outdoors, but not anymore.

My personal take on the metaverse, about which I know nothing except it's a sort of brand name from Facebook, is that I will be content to ignore it until the time its usefulness or necessity will make itself obvious to me...

It's an alternate Red vs. Blue reality where the Meta lives.
Just kidding...
It's the world you would live in if you lived in a VR world.

If 42 is the answer to life, and we see life in a 2 dimensional realm(despite reality being 3D)
We must square 42
1764, the answer to life the universe and everything in a 4d realm is 1764
I rest my case...
