Haha, I know they're doing it for the wrong reason, but it's still a pretty alright idea.

Woah, that's the first good idea ISPs have had in a very long time.

I'm pretty sure Reddit is just down right now, even the app isn't working.

Wow, that's a real bummer.

Good luck with fixing it! Of course, I guess you won't be seeing this until you do. Haha!

I suspect the but am not sure that the same nothing would happen if you plugged it into a different outlet in the room. Since reason nothing happened here was claimed to be that the connections are all shared, and since outlets are wired from one outlet to the next, they would still share the hot, neutral, and ground.

But if they have more customers then they have to spend more resources making more product. So 1 customer at 1000x the price is more valuable than 1000 customers at the a lower price. If it costs 28 dollars to make a year's worth of doses like this screenshot claims, then they'd make $42,222 charging a single customer the current price, while they'd only make $12,000 charging 1,000 customers the proposed price.

So for the company to make more money than they are now, they'd need 3,519 new customers for every one current customer. Since Google says there are 1.2 million people with HIV in the United States, if they have more than 342 current customers in the united states, they are making more now than they could ever make at the proposed price. Therefore the amount of new customers is almost certainly not worth it to them.

Money seems to ruin pretty much everything about healthcare.

Yeah, I have, and while I can use the computer thanks to this software, I still have to get my face close to the screen to see the stuff on it.

You do bring up a good point with the whole touchscreen thing, I never really thought too much about it, but yeah, I haven't used a touchscreen since the early 2000s that wasn't hard. It's totally worth looking into.

Thanks for the idea!

Yeah, I was surprised at the amount of choices I got when I punched the VESA sizes listed by the arm I was looking at into the monitor filter. I guess my current monitor is not the norm and that most are built for this kind of thing.

Those handles look like a pretty good idea, but I don't quite think they'd solve the need for a hard monitor. Since I'll still end up getting the screen dirty and needing to clean it frequently like I have been lately. Though, knowing that any monitor I get will have to meet the mounting requirements set forth by the arms further limits my choices, meaning, I might just have to do without, especially since no one even seems to know of any hard monitors that exist anyway.

Thanks for the suggestions though!

Yes! Some of their items look like exactly what I need. They have a lot of information about the distance that they can move too.

My desk is a little bit on the depthy side at around 23 inches, and I haven't seen anything that looks quite long enough yet, which makes sense, since at some point you'd be battling with physics, but realistically, I could just drill a hole into the center of my desk and put one of these in, right?

 

So, long story short, I have vision problems, and I need to work closely with my monitor. So I'd like to have a solution where I can grab my monitor and pull it close to my face for use, and push it back over the desk when I am done with it. I don't really know what what I'm looking for is called, or if anything like this even exists. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable in the subject than I am can help me out here.

While I am at it, I am hoping to replace my monitor as well. I would like it if the monitor had a harder material on the screen, rather than the fragile feeling plasticy stuff that computer monitors are normally made of, since my nose frequently bumps the screen, resulting in me needing to clean it often.

Once I remove my current monitor, I will have two displayport ports and one HDMI open on my card.

I am hoping to find a solution that costs less than three-thousand dollars. But with niche hardware like this, I understand that it may be more expensive.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading my post and considering helping me out!

I don't think I want to watch a video about cats dying, but, yeah, it's a really bad thing.
