Dell 27" 4K   


Dell 27"


What you guys think of this monitor? 



1.  Can Windows 11 handle 4k well enough?  Heard some one says that Windows 10 isn't good enough to handle 4K.



2.  Is my old vid card GTX 970 capable of handling 4k ?



3. Your recommendations for any other brand/ model  are welcome.



You views appreciated.



Cheers

How bizarre. He was due to head back to Texas after serving two months in a south Korean prison & may have faced further punishment & discharge from the army.

Out of the frying pan into the fire, perhaps...

When first introduced in 2007 home detention monitoring via GPS bracelet was sold to the NZ public as being used for non-violent offenders.

However since then it has been given to those who have committed more violent crime placing the NZ public in greater harm.  Today's tragic events in Auckland this morning being the perfect example

• Stuff understands the shooter was sentenced in March on charges of injuring with intent to injure, wilful damage, male assaults female and impeding breathing.┬á
  

My good old Mahjong Kyodai 18.75 fails to run!    -- I know, it's antique.  

It was running OK untill I changed to this Viewsonic XG270Q monitor. 

I get this error message:  IDirect3D Device7 cannot be made.

Windows 11 pro with latest updates. 

What could be the reason?

I'm guessing he doesn't do irony. 
He's complaining about the way in which 'National & Labour have robbed lower income earners"

That is precisely what the greed based Neo Liberalism - which HE helped impose on this country - has been doing since it began.

"Douglas wrote: Not satisfied with the way National and Labour have robbed lower income earners of $60 per week over the last 13 years via bracket creep, Act wants to go further. They want to keep bracket creep in place and then use the extra billion dollars-plus of taxes per year  to lower the highest income earners in New Zealand personal income taxes. Really, this is not the Act party I formed in 1993.

Seymour, whose party is today┬ápolling over 12%, told the Spinoff in response: ÔÇ£Sir Roger is possibly frustrated that Act is not as radical as he wants it to be. Our tax policy today is much less radical than the 23% flat tax that he fell out with David Lange and lost his job over. We still respect Sir Roger for his service to New Zealand, and hope he is enjoying his retirement.ÔÇØ

"Act Party co-founder Sir Roger Douglas says his former party has ÔÇ£lost the plotÔÇØ and he will not be voting for it in the coming election because he believes Act only represents the wealthy."

It always has Roger - & even you must be aware of that.

Douglas, a former Labour Finance Minister who founded Act with Derek Quigley in 1993, used a 22-page open letter to hit out at those currently leading the party and state that he will be a ÔÇ£swing voterÔÇØ for the first time after voting for Act since 2002.
ThatÔÇÖs despite his nephew Rob standing for Act in the Tukituki electorate.

He claimed Labour and the Greens promoted policies that made people dependent on the government in order to get their vote, while National ÔÇ£stand for very littleÔÇØ and didnÔÇÖt introduce ÔÇ£new and exciting policyÔÇØ, Douglas believed.

But he reserved a stinging criticism for his former party, claiming recent Act articles and policies reinforced a view among New Zealanders that it ÔÇ£represents only the wealthyÔÇØ, citing his displeasure with ActÔÇÖs opposition to ending ÔÇ£bracket creepÔÇØ, which increases tax paid by average wage and salary earners because doing so would require higher taxes on wealthier people."

Ah - so NOT really a sudden attack of conscience after all then, eh. Just concerned lest someone (in the form of govt) takes some of your wealth. 

Best just keep voting ACT then eh...

Cold feet Possum socks?

Having just come out from Hospital suffering from cold feet anyone any experience of these socks and where to get them?

One of several articles about Countdown spending $400m+ rebranding. Oh, it's also refurbishment. Yeah right!

I've already sent them my feedback - not that I expect anyone to actually read it - telling them that the best marketing they could do would be to provide a quality product at a good price and then they will get loyalty from customers, without so-called loyalty cards. Like PnS. Spending their profits on this kind of marketing in today's economic climate is obscene.

Another of the articles suggested just taking the first "o" out their name. That's a better idea.

   

I need to replace these (hydraulic opener?).

What do you call them?  It's an old 2003 Toyota Corolla RUNX
