Consider:

-Samsung's is VA and the other IPS panel (for VA better darks, poor-er viewing angle)
-Samsung's display is curved
There's likely more in differences that i'm missing.

If you want to use it in a room that has low light levels, samsung's is better, you wont get as much of the backlight greying out your black's as much. Otherwise the ips is likely gonna give you a nicer picture in the light.

The viewing angle is better on the Alienware's one, having a VA screen myself it's nothing too bad.

Something i hate about samsung's monitors is that almost all their power cables are non standard, which means if you lose the cable you have to get the same, as opposed to grabbing one of the cables you likely already have for other monitors. Also they have a power brick in the middle, which can be hard to work with if you have a standing desk.

So here have those considerations

Also if you want a tool to compare monitors: This site is good to compare, unfortunately i couldn't find the same samsung monitor

I use RD with Jdownloader2 to get premium dl speeds, as it removes the worries of a dl hanging due to some premium bs

(Also I noticed https://qiwi.gg/ getting more popular, fast speeds, no limits it seems. Anyone have something to say about it?)

Now idk if that's the case, but I can see them doing like nintendo and throwing away the standards to run their own power delivery system.

Create a problem, blame it on the others, charge the customers for repair/replacement not covered because yOu DiDn'T uSe OuR cHaRgEr. it'd be such an apple thing to do.

Won't work for credit/debit cards, can't extract the encryption keys needed to confirm transactions from the original card. You can try it without the ring, just use the flipper to try and emulate the bank card and use the flipper as if it was your card. Won't work.

To get a bank card ring you could open up the card, take the electronics inside, and diy a ring with it inside. I'm sure someone out there has done it

ads, start menu becoming tied to internet searches ultimately slowing it down, performance decrease win11 vs win10, Bloatware, Xbox locking game folders, the new context menu.. these are the ones i can quickly come up with

Update to add: The goddamn shortcuts, can't just click and drag from desktop to start menu or taskbar, and vice versa anymore

I second Tachiyomi, great app for comics and manga. Let's you get notifications for when new pages come out, lets you customize how you want to read (full page or zoom, left to right or r2L). It's where i read the "Kill six billion demons" webcomic

No this seems to be system wide, like a cortana/clippy hybrid (+AI)
