  • It would halve it or worse. ASUS makes a few models with built in internal batteries which work quite well.

    The type that latch onto your existing laptop display are really not great. They put a huge amount of extra force on the hinge where tons of sensitive ribbon cables live and you are severely limited in viewing angle. Not to mention you can’t move the monitor around in a tight work space or disconnect it easily to hit the field.

    A standalone portable monitor is the best solution IMO. The nicer models come with adjustable stands, protective travel cases, and USB-C DP pass through functionality.





  • People had fewer existential crises when the wealth difference between your peasant ass and the literal king was less than the wealth difference between us today and Elon Musk.

    Only half kidding. There is no point, climate change is ending modern human civilization within 50 years anyway. That is not a joke or exaggeration or shitpost. That is hard science, the models just keep getting worse and worse.

    Welcome to the end of capitalism, and humanity with it. Love yourself a little before it all ends, fam. Buy that treat. None of this matters anyway.














  • There’s also a massive scandal with USB c now that more devices and phones are using higher wattages and the vast majority of cables on the market are e-waste that doesn’t meet the actual USB-C specification.

    While that’s not the fault of the spec designers, one could argue that the massive failure to regulate has resulted in fire risks in every home.

    Bro is misinformed on basic reality 😭
