To understand what it's like for trans people watching all this "nuanced reasonable debate" bullshit flow, just imagine all the "serious people" having a debate about abortion where the only participants are people who will never have an abortion.
Oh, wait
Ahhhhh I seeβ Yeah, This wouldn't be the first time that I've seen Apple disregard for the cheaper edge-case. "Expensive edge-case? Sure, we'll support that. Cheaper edge-case? Nah, spend more money!" So annoying

Is the KVM USB 3 or Thunderbolt? I worry that Apple's wording is very specific here and maybe there is Thunderbolt support, but *not* DisplayPort over USB support?
(although I think this is a muddle issue now, as USB 4 = Thunderbolt 3 or something? Crikey)

<<Supports two displays in the following configuration:
Two displays up to a native resolution of 6K (6144 x 3456) at 60Hz or 4K (3840 x 2160) at 144Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI>>

So it sounds like it should work over Thunderbolt, and YETβ π
Oh! Wait, that's good news, right?
You just have to go into System Settings, click "Displays" on the left side, then click the monitor and make sure it's set to "Extended Display" instead of "Mirror for..."

lol incredible AIPAC ad. Quoting Kat's high school newspaper from when she was literally 16 years old. An AI generated campaign pin that gives up on spelling her name, seemingly making her Hawaiian. Another AI generated pin that makes Marco Rubio extremely handsome for no reason. Fantastic work. π§βπ³π

And if you can afford to help support all that, I've got a Patreon, and I'll even put your name in a slide on my future videos. π
(And if you can't afford that, you can still sign up for the free tier of my Patreon, where you'll get most of the notices, just on delay.)
What do you get if you back me on Patreon? Satisfaction and bragging rights. There are no exclusive benefits to speak of...though you'll usually get to see my videos a day or two before everybody else. Like this cover of "Toxic," which dropped Friday night on Patreon and just now for y'all.

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today.
Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.
