Instead of a statue, I think a fitting tribute would be to segregate population of a town into "us" and "them", build a wall, then establish a Checkpoint Charlie at the crossing. You know, follow historically tried ideas.

    Countries of Western Europe also took their sweet time before they actually joined in. Poland was supported by thoughts and prayers for a very long period - pretty much until other countries were attacked directly.

    The "fixed" board is still noisy, but the volume goes quiet very quickly if no sound is being reproduced. You still hear crackling but at least it falls off instead of always persisting.

    I am no engineer, but I suspect the audio is not shielded enough. Perhaps oled uses more current than led? I noticed the noise corresponds to the amount of motion on the screen.

    Many oled models have serious audio issues. Speakers and bt audio work fine, but the 3.5 mm jack is noisy. If this happens, you open a ticket right away, send it back and they will replace sound board for you. I got mine done. It's better, but not perfect.

    I think this is not then being pessimistic. It's one of the first cases of a corporation being realistic, rather than pushing the propaganda of success till it shuts down.

    Focus.

    Say I'm working on Photoshop. I may need to use the palettes, tool presets, brush catalogue, alerts, etc, but then I may want to ignore them and focus purely on the image.

    3D - I can put references on secondary screen and peek at them every now and then, but not have them distract me while modeling and texturing.

    I can put tools like calculator, notepad and timer - all accessible, but all out of the way.

    I find multiple monitors better. The physical separation helps in creating mental separation, allowing me to focus on the currently important areas and ignore the periphery.

    Started working on double monitor setup still in the 90s (two big ass crts) and never went back. I tried some ultrawides, but always default to 2x instead.
