PSA: If you have a very wide monitor [landscape], you also (potentially!) have a very tall monitor [portrait] :aMarxParty:

*Somehow I had managed to forget this, in spite of using a vertical monitor for many years in the Before Times

EDIT: Swapped the words portrait and landscape, since I had put them the wrong way around! :sadturtle:

Photo showing a monitor which seems to be both respectably wide and absurdly tall due to it being in vertical portrait orientation rather than the more typical horizontal landscape approach. The screen is displaying some Linux nonsense which includes a message from Inspirational Skeletor: "You are resilient. You are competent. You will handle this". The words are all in caps, because Skeletor Is Not Quiet. The screen is nestling amongst assorted geekery including a tetrapod lamp which seems to be being extruded from a delta type 3D printer, and casts a purple aura over part of the image. There is also a golden orb, an odd looking open frame PC with a large passive heat sink protruding from it, and a mysterious clamshell handheld device which is not powered on... The computer screen appears to be showing an OpenSCAD model of the mysterious device and its case. On the wall is a framed photo of an elder human looking down indulgently on the scene.
