I must be missing something, but what is the point of having the extra resolution, if everything is scaled to 200%?

High DPI displays make everything very clear and crisp when scaled 200%. This is why we have Kindles with 300ppi so the text looks really good, like printed text. It's why phones look really good, 1440p 6" screen, for example.

I cannot stand low PPI screens anymore after being spoilt by Apple retina screens.

Stocking up on my go to vegan protein powder and chocolate spread. Honestly I've tried so many (6+) vegan protein powders and all of them have a nasty earthy/veggie flavour to them, this is the only one that taste really good. The spread is a really nice alternative to Nutella, made with chickpeas, nuts and cocoa. Lastly decided to add some BCAAs just to drink during my workout, I've got accustomed over the years to drinking something during my workouts, so I've got some vegan BCAAs, as you can never have too many BCAAs as a vegan gym bro.

no idea what said:

I didn't look at that part

As i mainly use MS Edge which doesn't show the zoom level there

But next question why does he want really huge text like that ?

Edit:

It's set to 140% only on twitter, on the forums etc it's 100%.

Following on from my secret Santa gift from @Megahurtz400 reminding me how good fresh coffee can be decided the hand grinder he got me can work very nicely with an aeropress alongside the Nespresso I use at work, so first off got some beans (and some rave Nespresso pods to try)

Also needed something at home to keep my fueled on beans but with an option of running a second bean through my espresso machine.

I got it from etsy. Quite pricey? (not really sure how to price these).

The seller is
'nixieclockteam'
It's fitting its made in the Ukraine too. Looks better in person too.

Will give this powder a go as tried a few vegan protein powders over the past year or so and found them way too earthy/gritty.

I think you’ll like it. Vanilla Maple is quite tasty.

I can also vouch for nixieshop.com, they tend to be 6 digit clocks though rather than 4.
