Install software to be able to get some work done at home
but did it work tho
Cool story. Seriously.
How do you even go about diagnosing problems like this. What sort of iterative process will lead you to a point where the only difference between control and test environments would be a lack of monitor. What other peripheria should you take into account?
That's a cute kitty user :3
nice story user,thanks
You wanted BYOD, now deal with the consequences fuckhead.
Too bad the post didn't read:
>"nvm I found the fix"
Thread closed, never logged in on forum account again. No email address given and the only instance of the username. HOW DID HE DO IT?
How about a windowed program that takes several minutes to load the menu whenever they display is at a refresh rate higher than 60hz?
Wow is this really how microshit users live? On Linux and Unix just run your strace/strace/truss/ldd and easily find out where it's bombing.
Cute dog user.
>VERY fast doggo
Saved. Cut doggo!
How the fuck can enterprise software not be able to handle multiple monitors? Even the lowest of low IT monkeys at our company has dual 1440p displays.
Nah man, still fucking with me
thas a doggo, just look at those canines, and bigpaws
no kitty has them big paws
cute af tho

kek I have read moby dick and this is almost as good
You pull out a debugger; trace it on one that works, trace it on one that doesn't; and diff the execution trace.

Who had two monitors 15 years ago in the XP-Vista era? Very rare
