> windows should be square found the Windows 8 enthusiast! haha, I kid. (I myself use a tiling window manager , i3, with completely square windows without any gaps or rounding)
Not having i3 is truly the worst part about Macs. (Yes, please tell me about some buggy half-compatible tiling window manager for my Mac.)
Nitpicky, but he’s rounding the edges, not the corners. And yes, why are they so sharp? I seem to recall my wife having the plastic MacBook that came out circa 2006 and the edges on that thing were legitimately painful. I always marvel at how sharp the points are on the notch of the lid on my current MacBook. Very very pointy.
> why are they so sharp? they intentionally ship them sharp so you can file them down to your desired fillet the design is very human
Physical objects should be rounded, virtual windows should be square. I will die on this hill.
Eizo made a square 1920 x 1920 monitor which was quite nice: https://www.eizo.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/

I don't think apple computers are meant for people who do use computers. I used to have marks on my wrists (I no longer have an apple computer now).
Maybe I'm autistic, but I loooove the sharp edges near the opening. They've become almost a nervous tick of playing with them with my fingers. I've got no idea why, but the sharp feeling is amazing.

Nope. Virtual windows are rectangular because the screen is also rectangular while being small enough to see the edges within our field of view. They don't have to be any particular shape or size. The property of being virtual overrides everything else when free of these self-imposed constraints. Even if you lose the GUI and go back to text, the ideal terminal is a plane of infinite columns of arbitrary cell size tha…

LG sells a DualUp monitor that is 2560x2880, same size as two 2560x1440 displays stacked on top of each other: https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-28mq780-b-dualup-monitor
I'm very tempted to try this although I worry that the rubber "seal" around the edges of the screen will no longer have anything to butt up against, meaning there's glass-on-metal contact when it's closed?
