Alt text:Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox). Image shows an untrawide monitor rotated about 45 degrees, with a horizontal IDE window taking up a bottom triangle. A web browser and settings menu above it are organized creating a window shape almost like a stepped pyramid.

What if your monitor has a bullet hole you want to avoid looking at?

Why does your monitor have a bullet hole?

Why do you ask so many questions? ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

Because then words like "evidence" and "premeditated" get thrown around.

I came back to my office after the new year's break and a stray bullet, from I'm assuming celebratory gunfire, was shot through the wall and hit my screen. Admittedly it wasn't a hole and the screen was totally unusable after, but I'll be a close n=1.

A good use case for American k-12 IT admins

A bullet hole would be slightly less annoying than the one green dead pixel I have at work.

Can't argue with that.

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

It’s a novelty. I for one deeply love unusually shaped monitors and UXs.

Could be useful for an interactive art installation or something alike.

Possibly to run those strangely shaped outdoor billboard signs

in case you use a pear phone as a daily driver

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago

I thought it was surely just a joke but looking at the devices to the right maybe this was due to limited desk space?

It could be useful if you live in a submarine that is always emerging/submerging.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

4th nerve palsy posse has been asking for this for years.

[-] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

It's not about why. It's about the freedom to do.
