Reminds me of what the official Instagram client looked like on iPad, a lot of margins, and a bit of that 640px wide feed (or whatever the actual width was)
Don't know if it's still the same
Looks like nothing has changed. This is how it opens up on 4k screen. Although, it looks like they tweaked it a little. Up until recently I remember opening a post would show a hilariously small like 800 by 600-something box, half of which was comment section that'd fit like 5 comments at best. But now they finally made it properly scalable.

And then you have that one guy that rotates his monitor using this.
I'm only 65 inches tall. I would want to make some sort of crazy mirror room with them.
Obligatory fuck Linus
Nvidia spotted. Launching "Nvidia, fuck you!" strike
So at what point does a VR headset end up actually being cheaper than your specialty odd-size curved monitor?
It's an advertising display. They're just heading gun with it.
It costs 4 grand and has a resolution of like 3480x600, making its pixel density pretty much useless for a monitor.

Almost immediately
Ew, Linus
I don't understand how this guy has an audience. I saw one video that was alright where he cleaned a water-cooling system. The rest were like, "look at all this garbage we bought on Aliexpress lol," and I bounce after several seconds.
For people interested in tech edutainment he's alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.
So much terrible click bait has meant I haven't bothered clicking in a year or so though.
Same. I love any of their "infrastructure" type videos. One of my favorites is when their storage server almost kicked the bucket and they showed the unimaginably stressful recovery process.

Yeah he was much better a while back. Though that can be said for most of youtube. The algo messes up everything
I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn't require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can't be serious all the time.
More or less my stance as well.
I don't want or need 24/7 GamersNexus. The team is great but oh boy is it dry.
He's got a lot of charisma. And his videos frequently give that "people doing something they should have prepared more for but pushing through anyways" entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he's in way over his head, but somehow still manages to keep it going.
It's a weird spot where I like the guy and want to see him succeed but also don't think he deserves that success and want to see him fail.
Though I don't really spend much time watching hardware enthusiast videos in general, so I probably won't see either of those unless it goes viral like his last shitshow did.

I gotchu guys. My design has a max width.
Looks like 86" to play Untitled Goose Game.
The game with the least reason to play widescreen.
The best game for it! Widescreen honking at its finest! Really feel you are in that village, being chased by a horrible goose!
Honk honk honk honk!
Christ, they can't handle 1920W. Everything is a phone now apparently.
What would even be the design solution without massive empty space? Add a lot of columns? Make the long content horizontal instead of vertical?
I think for most web apps it doesn't make sense to allow the width to get so wide, except when the content being displayed is a columnar list and even then it's a pretty marginal benefit.
What I've done is limit the max-width to some amount of px/chars and allowed the remaining space be empty, with an exception for when displaying tables. Even with tables, the bigger width is only beneficial if either the contents of the columns are large enough, or there are very many columns to show. The solution in my mind is limiting the column widths to the longest content.
This seems really cool for tiling windows managers (even Windows has tiling options, although I'm not familiar with those). That being said, I still prefer a multimonitor setup on my tiling WM of choice.
You could go columns for the content, but I think my ideal layout would still have the main content in a single column. I would put all of the chrome horizontally through. For example no header before and footer afterwards, put everything in different columns. Maybe even throw some extra navigation on the screen.
You don't need to use every pixel, just avoid putting things offscreen unnecessarily.
max-w-[1200px], take it or leave it
I have 2 24" displays side by side. At some point I unified the desktops (or Spaces if you're on Linux) to make it act "as if" it was a single ultra wide monitor. This was absolutely awful to use, especially during Google meetings where I had to share my screen.
Besides, I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it's just the best way to work.
This thing is stupid. Appealing maybe, but stupid.
