> Since the LG UltraFine exposes a USB HID device to control its brightness, I wrote a driver to attach to it and expose the brightness adjustment through wsconsctl display.brightness. Wow, that is impressive both from the device _and_ from the author. I wonder how many displays support controls over USB? Personally, I hate having to manually adjust my display's brightness in the evening. Edit: This got me curious an…
I'm surprised more people don't know about ddc (which works over displayport). Been using it with this gnome extension on Fedora for a while now. https://github.com/daitj/gnome-display-brightness-ddcutil

Anybody wanna invite me to lobste.rs ?
Doesn't using a single DIMM for memory really kill the performance? I thought basically all Intel & AMD CPUs have two channels of memory controllers. So for optimal bandwidth on the memory you need to use a multiple of two memory sticks.
It's perhaps a bit worse in terms of raw throughput. It likely doesn't impact the user experience in any perceivable way, though.

I use a wrapper script around ddccontrol. Combined with backlight, I can set both monitors at once.

Or people who argued that “the eye can’t see more than 60fps”
Or people who argued that "4k is pointless, you can't see the different with 2k anw".

Maybe my perceptions are out of date, but cleartype, while technically allowing higher font dpi, had a rainbow/screen door effect that stood out like a sore thumb for many of us.
The effect depends on the screen technology you use. Windows guesses the pixel layout, but you can tweak ClearType to fit your screen better. You can open a wizard that takes you through six steps and asks you to select the rectangle with the best text (out of six rectangles) to tweak it to your liking. When the subpixels don't align, ClearType can be ugly as hell, but for me the default guesses always worked out.

Your comment made me check my own (LG Ultrafine 5k) and it’s 140W… That’s crazy. I love this monitor, but am interested in a high quality, lower power option if anyone knows of one.
Did you really measure these 140 W or does the power brick says 140 W?
I am running on minimum brightness, since I'm indoors.
