      Poverty homies rise up, also I won’t turn down a free tv. I upcycled a few for extra monitors.

        That’s one advantage to living in the 21st century: computer “bone yards” and trash-picked parts are stupidly high quality “trash” compared to decades ago.

        That doesn’t explain why you feed it with a 3070

          I used to have to, when the monitor does not have any modern ports, you have to get creative with adapters.

          All 3 HDMI ports are broken. That’s why it was gotten rid of, so I chain adapters with cables I have. Works like a gem. All of my monitors are upcycled. There is so much e-waste because people don’t use adapters.

            wow that’s one hell of a dumpster find! even with those ports dead, a 3070 is worth like what, half a kidney?

            nice!

            hearing this makes me want to visit my local e-waste facility
