      As the title of the post asked, is there anything that you are no longer a fan of/support?

      Feel free to share any experiences you have that made you change your mind on something. These could something smaller such as deciding to no longer support or engage with a brand due to store clerk being a bit rude to you in one interaction, to you disliking the actions or direction taken by a corporation/creator/franchise.

      I did want to note that while this thread can obviously veer in to the negative based on the question, it doesn't have to be. You could no longer being a fan of something could be due to your tastes changing over the years, or a life experience making you decide you want to change your habits.

      Lately I’ve been experimenting with different desktop monitor setups, primarily for productivity-focused work as a systems engineer (coding, writing docs, Slack, email, terminals, etc.). Over the past few years, I’ve rotated through:
      • 3× 24” 1080p monitors
      • 2× 24” 1080p monitors + laptop display
      • 1× 32” 4K monitor + laptop display
      • 1× 32” 4K monitor
      • Laptop display only (on a stand)

      Surprisingly, I’ve found that I feel the most focused and productive when I use only my laptop display and rely on Alt-Tab to switch between apps.

      With larger monitors or multiple displays I start to feel scattered. It almost turns into sensory overload, and my focus drops off.

      Has anyone else experienced this? Do you find that larger or multiple monitors decrease your productivity? What setup works best for you?
