SO HAPPY tonight!
LG has discontinued the DualUp LCD display ( 28MQ780-B ), it seems, sometime in the last 12 months or so. It is a 28-inch "4K"-class monitor that is nearly square, 2560x2880 in resolution with a 16:18 ( = 8:9 = 4:4.5 ) aspect ratio.
I have this display and it is the best display I have ever used in my life. I use it rotated 90 degree on the Mac, running in a "HiDPI" mode that is effectively 2304x2048, scaled. It looks amazing and is perfect for my needs.
I have used this as the main display on my Mac Studio since 2022. I always intended to buy a spare for when this one dies, but I missed the chance, so I setup an elaborate real-time monitoring system on eBay that has been alerting me the instant one appears on the site. They often go for twice retail or more.
This weekend one appeared that was local, and I talked to the seller and he told me it had only 490 hours on-time (which I've since verified), is flawless, and would meet me for pickup. He actually dropped the price and we did the sale outside of eBay. I paid about $200 over retail.
But, now I have a backup! My square, UNIX-perfect system can live on well beyond what it might otherwise have.
Bizarre source of excitement - but I'm so happy right now.

💸 eBay impulse control challenges 💸
Look, look at these. They're beautiful, they work, they could be mine! Yet like with all vintage window shopping that occurs on eBay when I'm in-between tasks or relaxing, I just have to remind myself that there are already plenty of unfinished projects in my purview, and to just finish something equally fun from the FIFO queue.
oooh but it's so difficult! 💝🎁

I grabbed this ThinkPad i Series 1171 today for $25.
I know nothing about the i series other than this one has a P3 and 122MB memory. It's in absolute perfect condition. Even if it end up being a terrible machine, I'm still gonna be happy just to sit it on a shelf and look at it. It's gorgeous. It also came with its HDD caddie and battery. The battery is long gone but it's at least there to fill the spot.

This week i was looking to complete one of the master system games in my games collection. while I couldn't find a copy of this game with just the cart and box, I found a partially intact sealed copy of Missle Defense 3-D
Normally I wouldn't go for anything like this since I already had a manual, but I couldn't resist when I saw all the Montgomery Wards pricing stickers on it!
With the first sticker date of (July 2?) 1988 and the last sticker date of September 1996, this unopened game likely sat on store shelves for around 9 years before it finally sold.
Now I just gotta get a case I can put this in to preserve it. I will not be having this graded because FUCK WATA
