@RavenWorks @miunau as far as i can tell that's only possible in the other direction, DP output to HDMI input
@miunau yeah but not passive ones, they need usb power & if i need to buy something anyway i'd kinda prefer to buy something that goes inside the case rather than adding even more cables and dongles into the already messy situation back there
i suppose the comedy option would be to buy an absolute top end banger gpu and install it into this otherwise potato machine and then it can be transplanted into the new desktop whenever i get around to building that
... but i don't want to spend that kind of money rn so it'd prob end up being the absolute cheapest one with DP
and please forgive me for using the abbreviation DP i don't have room to type out displayport every time. I KNOW what you perverts are thinking though. Deluxe Paint
so i want a new monitor which i would use with 3 computers: my personal laptop, my work laptop, and my old desktop (which i want to replace at some point)
the one i'm considering has 1x hdmi and 1x displayport, the laptops would use hdmi as they only support dp over usbc and i want to keep those ports free
ideally this would mean the desktop stays connected to the other port but it doesn't HAVE dp so i'm now considering buying a new graphics card for a machine i'm trying to retire β
@misty apparently the thing i was using to compress jpegs down to a target size only takes that size as kind of a suggestion and will sometimes throw in some extra bytes as a bonus
i had to knock like 50kb off the target & it seems to work that way
@NekoEd can you take one off me instead
@bunnyhero nice good
@Foxhack >:( bitch
