That is exactly what I want thanks.

Really, I have 4 monitors that I use, but they are on two computers with two monitors each. My main Win 10 I use for most normal computing things. The other computer is an old Windows laptop with an added monitor running Linux Mint. I use it as a weather computer with one screen showing two local radar images and the second monitor showing a U.S. Nationwide radar composite image. I would show a picture, except for the fact Iā€™m a ham radio operator and my area is a total mess! :laughing:

Iā€™m down to 3PCs.

I have a well specced 10th Gen Core I5 32GB for my main work and a 4th gen lappy on the priinter shelf, using the keyboard as a stuff shelf as I use Input Director to share the mouse and keyboard over the network.
3rd is pretty much a dedicated Plex Mini PC about the same size as 2 VHS Cassetted side by side but does its job admirably.
I also use it to experiment with Docker containers.
Main PC has 2 Linux and a Win 11 VM available under Hyper V

Just the 2 monitors for viewing though. 3 I have found is the sweet spot.

2 computers as well

1 PC, windows 10, 2 video cards, 4 monitors
1 of the monitors TV for monitoring client servers
1 monitor with switch box to second computer, also windows 10 which was my gaming Rig.

This does not include my 4 Dell servers
Remote back up server for clients data
Exchange server
Authentication and file server
Remote monitoring server for clients that displayed thru 1st PCā€™s 42 inch TV
The servers all controlled by single KVM

This still does not include my work benches with KVMā€™S so I could work on 8 pcā€™s at a time.

I was a busy boy back in the day

I used to run a full domain, including exchange, out of my flat but some criminals spoofed My IP for business fraud and all my kit was confiscated. The server HD died within a week of getting them back from the police due to rough transportation handling and I didnā€™t have adequate backups at the time.
Still have images of my old Server2k VMs though.

I now have about 18TB of data backed up to the cloud.

Thanks. Wasnā€™t privy to any court details and there were sop many cases in tech news at the time I never knew who. Also I was never able to get compensation for my broken hardware.

Even if you run a VPN to protect your own web movements criminals can always pick your ISP IP by chance for spoofing and it leads the authorities to your house. Thankfully it has become much more dificult in the 10 years since it happened to me, server 2003 era.

IIt was terrifying, even though they knocked politely I was asked to sit still while they went through the entire flat and confiscated everything that could be a storage device.
Thankfully they went through my phone on site and left me with that.

Happy note though, This little Gem is a core I5 8th Gen, 8GB box that runs plex like a dream. DVD for scale:

Love it and admire another user.

I believe you may just being trolled, I have experienced them too, thats why I dont do requests anymore as there were 2 times that i got requests for the person to say they were happy with it and ā€œlove itā€ after many changes and out of curiosity found they only wore the face for less than a day. I have also noticed many bots on facer that click the like button once a day for a month never to sync it.

I think a lot of the ā€œlikesā€ people give are because they donā€™t understand exactly how it works. Sure, they like the watch, but I wonder if they realize that itā€™s now in a folder (for lack of a better term) where their like lives forever. I followed one person who liked one of my faces and their like folder showed over one thousand liked faces. Even if they wore a different face each day thatā€™s almost 2.75 years of changing faces every day. I think a lot of that ā€œbehaviorā€ is brought on by the worthless ā€œFacebookā€ like system.

I do understand that thought which is why I donā€™y click the button on all the faces I see that I think are really good but maybe just the post but I still do both on some as a sign and message to the creator that I thought their creation was good.

It rarely has meaning that I will wear it on my watch, just that I appreciated thier design effort and end result. I hope it also means that others would do so and want to let the crator know, as a tip of the hat kind of thing.

Iā€™d feel bad removing them now.

Would it look bad if I did to correct that?
