I'm jealous 😭 that thing can actually play NES gun games, unlike modern LCDs

[-] ultra@discuss.online 3 points 9 months ago

Why can't modern LCDs play NES gun games?

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 3 points 9 months ago

AFAIK, several milliseconds delay that LCDs have when updating the display, and sometimes the residual brightness from the LCD backlight (when the NES blacks out the display for a fraction of a second to figure out what the light gun is pointing at) isn't accepted by the console

CRTs can go completely black (similar to modern Oleds) and update instantly, so these work as expected with the light gun

[-] ultra@discuss.online 1 points 9 months ago

So would high refresh rate OLEDs work?

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 5 points 9 months ago

Couldn't find a better monitor if I tried!

Goated

Virtual desktops: KDE / Wikipedia / Gnome

TLDR: If you don't want your desktop to be a mess, you can spawn applications in different virtual desktops, and switch between them.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

Windows has had them since 10 (and obviously far earlier via 3rd party).

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 11 points 9 months ago

Yes, 15 years after everyone else (hence 3rd party).

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

Neat.

[-] frokie@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

And macos since much earlier!

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

If Windows 10 had the feature since 2015 (first W10 release) that would be at least 3 years after Gnome; Earliest mention I can find and that's worst case scenario for Gnome.

As for KDE Plasma it had those since at least 4.2.0, Plasma 4.2.0 announcment that version was released in 2009.

[-] siberianlaika@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

Gnome 2 had virtual desktops

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

I don't know much about Gnome's history, that's why I used the earliest mention I could find.

KDE Plasma may have had it before 4.2.0 too, but I cannot find KDE 3, 2, or 1 announcements. Most likely because of the name change.

[-] spauldo@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

KDE had them back in the 90s. They had to - virtual desktops were a feature of pretty much any window manager more complicated than TWM. They'd have been laughed at if they didn't.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

No they had to wait specifically for Plasma 420 for the most important feature. Look forward to Plasma 6.9 as well.

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

3rd party for win95 had it, maybe even 3.11

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I think they removed the native ones on 11. Correct me if I am wrong though...

Edit: I was wrong.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

I'm not on 11 yet, but Google says it's still there by default.

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 3 points 9 months ago

Thank you for the correction!

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 21 points 9 months ago

And what does the bottom image show?

[-] Untitled_Pribor@kbin.social 32 points 9 months ago

A virtual desktop switcher, it allow you to quickly switch between virtual desktops

[-] Frederic@beehaw.org 12 points 9 months ago

2 workspaces, let's say you have one 1920x1080 monitor but a virtual screen of 3840x1080

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 4 points 9 months ago

I have one 5120x1440 monitor, do I win?

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

Still no.

[-] elfahor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 9 months ago

Jokes on you, I have two monitors and 9 workspaces (I don't know how you call these)

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 9 months ago

Virtual desktops/workspaces.

[-] 30p87@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

3 monitors (another one to come) and 10 default + 4 custom workspaces

[-] lloptyr@artemis.camp 2 points 9 months ago

Just gonna slide in here with 2 monitors each with 10 unique workspaces. Using a WM, its often just nicer to have each application have its own workspace.

[-] 30p87@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Yep, for me KeePassXC, spotify-tui, Discord (aka. a Firefox instance with canary.discord.com) and games have their own instance. IDEs etc. are on the main screen, so WS 2, and Firefox on WS 3 at the right.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

So proud of him!

[-] callyral@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

I have one monitor (laptop screen) and 8 workspaces

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

What's dated about it?

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 1 points 9 months ago

The format is over 2 years old and kind of dead as far as my knowledge goes...
