You can usually click the switch back in place without having to move it at all if you press hard enough. Otherwise remove the keys around it to make it easier. Or just get a job you fucking loser

My display died and I have to use secondary as main until payday. Fuck this sRGB panel really fucking sucks, but at least it's not TN.

Whats wrong with SRGB?

It's not Adobe RGB

Ah is it that much better?

It is if you're either a graphics professional or a whiny shit.

My display isn't calibrated to anything in particular, but color looks pretty much fine on it and there's very little backlight bleed. Photos, movies and porn look good on it, and I'm not in a job where I need perfect color so it's fine.

>Needing Adobe RGB spec
>Claiming to be impoverished

Drugs in college were a huge mistake...

Living the poverty life now.

Well I do, thats why I am asking.

Wide color gamut actually has nothing to do directly with color accuracy (although 99% of adobe rgb displays happen to be fancy factory calibrated "pro"-tier).
Adobe RGB has "deeper" colors than sRGB. Photos, movies and porn look better on it, anime and games or anything else that does not have real life reference point look way better than on sRGB.

needing more that 10 colours in your life means you're gay

This is an anonymous board. Who are you, what are you asking, and why do you need it?

Agreed, but it doesn't look enough better to justify the price difference unless you're either a professional who actually needs a calibrated display, or rich enough that you don't care about the cost.

Also if you game on it you're better off with TN for the response time anyway.

I only need three - red, green and blue, but I want them to be as red, as green, and as blue as technology and my budget allows.
What I really do not need is neither more than 110dpi nor more than 60Hz.

Older or used 24-27" displays are affordable enough, and with quantum dots like in Philips 276E6 even poorfags can enjoy moar color.

What kind of drugs, if you don't mind sharing?

I used to smoke about an 8th a day, when i had enough money to afford it.

Plenty of DXM... Don't do that shit.

A handful of LSD blotters.

dont blame the drugs, blame yourself. I dab about a half to a full gram a day and take LSD every other month and I make 60k.

Fuck you for breaking into my house! And how stupid to take pictures of it and post online.

The police are on their way.

What do you see when you take LSD? Is it true that it opens a new level of conciousness?

Drugs have single handedly allowed me to be lazier than I have ever imagined possible. As a piece of shit, I blame the drugs.

>Who am I
Anonymous board why do you care?
>I am asking because I plan to buy a new display for photo editing.

Man, I'm definitely not rich or anything, but you guys make me feel successful.

Why are you blaming the drugs user?

that looks comfy, I hope they let the person stay

>live in a house with 2 roommates

Ya you've got a real standard of living there prince charming

>2 roommates.
>Standard of living.

Not really sure what you're getting at here. I guess maybe I should have said housemates? I don't share a fucking bedroom or anything. I also have a garage space.

Do you want to live totally alone user? Do you not value human companionship?

You ever worry about savings and the future? Where I live, 32k is scraping by, and it's not even an urban city.

>dude, i smoked pot in college dude, fucked me up, dude

dudepleb

you are the definition of impoverished, senpai. holy shit... proud of it too.

>>/comfy/

Fortunately, where I live the cost of living is pretty low by first world standards. Standard rent for a 2-3 bedroom single family home with a 2 car garage on lot with a yard is $1200-1800/month. 1-2 bedroom apartments are $400-800.

I do worry about the future though. Right now I'm putting $400-500 into savings every month. I could be putting in $600 or more, but I've been diverting that extra $100-200 into discretionary spending on shit like building a new PC or whatever other crap I want to spend my money on.

Right now the savings account I'm putting that $500/month into is an emergency expenses account, but once it has at least a full years worth of living expenses in it I'm going to start dumping it into an investment vehicle of some kind. My wages will continue to climb steadily for a while still, until I hit about $40-45k. Then I'll have to look at changing jobs to continue growing my salary.

I got a meager $10k from a life insurance payout recently and it went right into that investment fund. I haven't decided where to put it yet.

I've been making a little bit of money doing some currency trading and things, but mostly just experimentally as a learning exercise. I'm not confident enough in my abilities / knowledge yet to commit a significant chunk of my savings to it.

I'm only 25, so I'm a bit behind, but confident I'll be able to retire before 60.

Sure, I'm comfy as fuck. I have no debt, own my car and a motorcycle, eat well, and don't live paycheck to paycheck. What's not to be proud of?

At least you got it figured out. Could be making more money and doing a lot worse, like a few people I know right now.

I know way too many examples of that. I've got a friend who graduated with an astrophysics degree and he lives with his parents again, working at a retail store so he can pay off the loan on his WRX.

Another friend of mine is a mechanical engineer making ~$80k, but between $60k in student loan debt, $10k in auto loan debt @ 10%, eating out every meal, and living in an $1800 a month single bedroom apartment by himself is squandering every last cent of it.

People are fucking retarded about their money, regardless of what credentials they have.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but you're below middle class. That's ok, as long as you're not putting on a front and flossing like you have dough. Otherwise, you would look ridiculous. Your cost of living is pretty standard outside of major metropolitan areas...

This is a poverty thread, right? I didn't come in here to brag about balling or anything, as much should be obvious.

I freely admitted my annual income is peanuts. The only thing that allows me to live as well as I do is good financial habits (for the most part).

I'm just trying to point out that poverty level income doesn't have to mean poverty level standard of living.

I'm in the middle of a major metropolitan area, Phoenix Arizona.

Are you a girl? Why are you in his financial business? He's living the life and has an education, but your acting like $15/hour and living meager with roommates is better? Damn dude, your broke ass just triggered me.

>Another friend of mine is a mechanical engineer making ...

By the sounds of it, he's fine. Don't be quick to judge, unless you know he's buying steak every night, drinking it all away, and buying the latest toys all the time.

Found the triggered "I went to college because my parents expected me to, and now feel justified in making poor financial decisions" crowd.

Enjoy never retireing

>living in an $1800 a month single bedroom apartment
what pavement ape infested city is he living in?

San Francisco

I'm white, nice looking, intelligent, and confident. You got the wrong negro. When I was his/your age, I was selling software and web-based ecommerce solutions in the automotive industry making bank. I didn't go to college until later. Tell me again how making $15 an hour and having 2 roommates is better than a dude that has a degree and spends money?

>I'm white, nice looking, intelligent, and confident.
I'm biting the bait aren't I.

sort of...but probably not at all how you're expecting. Truth is theres no way to really explain it well due to it being very weird and unique in the first place, but also its not even the same every time or for each person. I'd suggest watching a good few psychedsubstance (youtube channel) vids, read up on erowid.org trip reports and such. Basically just do some solid research so you know what you're about to do, and then do it. Definitely do try it. Since it usually does have positive effects I'd say try it sooner rather than later.

Poor addict parent, hs dropout, ged so I could move out @ 17, stoner fuckup, line cook, resort worker. $10-15/hr and lived check to check. I feel your struggle pooranons.
Do what I did. stop waiting and start pirating that shit. Keep grinding away but quit fucking off so much, invest in 2 nice business casual outfits that fit well. Get a proper haircut, I just ask for a "give me a job" cut. Make a semi bs resume, mix in the real with the fake, include some closed local businesses and or somewhere out of state, most don't check refs that tightly. I've had friends be previous supervisors :) Spam it at every decent job you think you could handle and figure out, most places give you basic training on how they want it done anyways, just do a little research so you know the vernacular. I landed a job at an equip service place running the parts counter for $19/hr. cut down on every expense I could and was able to afford a new car and better clothes. I had to help customers in the showroom when sales staff was gone, I learned the parts inside and out. I am good with computers. A competing company gave me a job offer doing fleet rental services. 3 years after faking my way in the door I am salaried @ 49k/yr + bonuses and I get to go to all sorts of neat mining and oil production sites. For on site inspections and such. I'm not bragging, it's not impressive but it's a hell of a lot better than cooking. If you have no connections, no capital and no credentials, just lie your fucking ass off until it you believe it.

...

Wrong.

You already were destined to be that lazy, you just chose drugs as your perpetrator, but drugs are no perpetrator, they are inanimate objects, you were the one who fucked with em and couldn't handle your shit. You should have known yourself well enough to never try drugs in the first place or not be a lazy piece of shit once you started to. You are the problem, and until you recognize that, your chances at fixing the problem are 0%, I guarantee it.
