        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.

            Source: Me with my own 1050ti stuck into an optiplex build and early 2000s monitor because I was broke

            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.

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

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

              nice!
