naw, just makes everyone trying to read my screen squint
and my answer is "don't read my screen"

I just use my boss key

tianon
lol, I used to use a smaller font, but I lost too many important details and could no longer tell certain letters/numbers apart
so now I'm just shooting for higher res screens
I want 16K in a 17" baby
or maybe a 21
17 is a little small

tianon gonna try that new dell sub-$1000 4k?

lol I have two problems with that - one, it's still super pricey, and two, it's a Dell :)
ostezer
what's wrong with Dell?
paultag
Dell is great
jpetazzo
they screwed up their bigger screens
tianon
I'm too much of a cheapo, I can wait for prices to come down
crosbymichael
dell makes good monitors
paultag
my dude is one of their Linux engineers
jpetazzo
but it looks like you can't get largeish monitors with antiglare coating that doesn't look like a thick layer of dirt was smeared on the screen :-(
jpoimboe is now known as jpoimboe_away

it's nice to see how they are trying to save their "behinds", wouldn't you agree?
tianon
yeah, I definitely agree that Dell makes some pretty legit monitors, and I give them massive props for pushing Linux in big good ways, but their consumer-side customer support was so terrible back when I used Dells a lot that I just can't stomach them
paultag
they have some slick looking aluminum ultrabooks
tianon
after being on the phone for several hours being redirected between different departments nonstop and then being hung up on (and not for the first time), I decided to call it quits
paultag
I can't remember what it was
jpetazzo
well, never buy consumer stuff
I always went through the small business stuff
and the cheap macbook air copy is the xps13
paultag
ah that's it
tianon
lol
jpetazzo
keeb has one and is pretty happy about it I think
ghostbar joined the channel
I still don't know if I'll have that, or a badass carbon, or something else
crosbymichael
i think for my next laptop i'll ditch my mac fro a linux machine like the xps13
jpetazzo
yes Michael!
join us!
come to the darkside!
we have more cores and more RAM here!
paultag
I do want an X1-Carbon
jpetazzo
and you can run containers... NATIVELY!
crosbymichael

x1-carbon, with 32G ram damnit
paultag
bah, my life is already in a terminal
jpetazzo
not retina but freaking hirez anyway
paultag
I don't care about resolution
I'd rather power savings
jpetazzo
well, 400 columns emacs ftw
crosbymichael
paultag: I'm in a terminal all day as well and i want my text as high res as possible
