#12WTF is an "alimentation cable"?
From the description, it seems fairly clear they are referring to the power cables.

#14I used to code with that type of setup, with multiple large monitors. But a few months back, I switched to a single 43" UHD TV instead. I get more screen real estate that I did before, have fewer cables to deal with, and have less of a mental paradigm shift when I do travel and shrink down to just one laptop screen.
As soon as someone invents a way to fold or roll up a 40+ inch screen, I'll buy it.

I guess they mean power cable. The literal translation for power cable is "alimentation cable" in my native language. It's probably something like that for the article's author too.

#16Why do you even need 3 monitors? That seems excessive.

#17This sounds a bit bizarre to me. Took a few seconds to find a large pool of monitors designed for travelling. https://www.techradar.com/news/best-portable-monitor I also don't get the need for an external GPU. Maybe for machine learning it makes sense, but just to drive monitors it sounds excessive.

Those are relatively small and ergonomically horrible (as are laptop screens in general). So wouldn't meet the authors needs to retaining current efficiency and comfort.
>I also don't get the need for an external GPU
I doubt his built in GPU can drive 3 large monitors and the laptop display at the same time.
edit: Also, for future reference, it's better/nicer to assume people are intelligent and try to understand their reasons for something rather than assuming they're idiots.

The author addresses the existence of those in the post and states that they don't like using smaller monitors.

Yes, that kind of portable monitors exist, but they are small, the biggest that we can find are 17".
The external GPU is needed when you want to use more display that your integrated card can handle, 3 in my case

#20I would have thought TSA would "x-ray" (or whatever it is they do) through your bag and pull you off to the side for further investigation super quickly.
The TSA misses about 95% of guns, so chances are you’ll be fine.
