It was in its infancy, and making more mistakes than now. The Hamsters tweaked it so it doesn't catch Protector-level members any more.

Oh god no. They tried that with a commenting platform online at a site that shall remain nameless.
The moderation went from okay (humans) to non-existent (nobody) to awful (A"I")

I have two accounts, one (this one) that I use regularly and often from my office, one that I use (more rarely) from home. The office account posts immediately, the home account gets checked and posts some time later. Makes sense, I guess.

Hello all,
First of all thank you all the CPians that answered months ago a related question. I've been working 14 to 16 hours a day and have not been able to answer you all, but thanks for your suggestions and messages! ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
I've reduced the choice of monitors to those two:
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-30-usb-c-hub-monitor-u3023e/apd/210-bdsn/monitors-monitor-accessories[^]
Dell UltraSharp 27 Inch Thunderbolt™ 4 Hub Monitor - U2724DE | Dell USA[^]
In both cases I'd get two of them.
This said, I own a Thinkpad P14s Gen 2 with USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (NO THUNDERBOLT). Would both monitors work with that laptop?
Would it be possible to daisy chain the two monitors using USB C or Display Port?
Nowadays I have two QHD monitors connected to a dock station that works using that USB C 3.2 Gen 2 connector and it works well... but I am tired of the dock failures (I must reconnect both displays every time I get into the office).
As always thank you in advance!

Nope, way too expensive and I don't know if I am ready to switch to the curved/wide thing...
I am way to used to be able to maximize a window into one of the displays... Something I would not get in a curved/wide display.
Thanks for posting. But I am more interested in knowing if the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 on my laptop would be enough to drive the displays I mentioned in my original post.

The $ angle might be mitigated with a different model.
Once you go curved, you will not swerve?
The way most people will mount two screens on an arm and angle them inward, most of these curves really closely match that. (And you don't need to buy a mounting arm if it's just one monitor on its own stand)
The maximization stuff...
Hold the win-key and play with the arrow keys. There's maximize (up), dock left (left), dock right (right), and minimize (down). You'll find this useful maybe no matter how you set things up. With multi-monitor the same keys can move stuff between screens and such.
In newer Windows versions if you drag a window towards the top, you will get something like this image allowing you various options for how to arrange things:
Imgur: The magic of the Internet[^]
I really like the one big screen setup without bezels in the middle of things.
With multiple monitors one can also go out and when that happens it can sometimes be hard to find a matching replacement. Even if you buy the same make/model, they can have different display characteristics. The variances between the different ones can be harder on the eyes as going back and forth can require slightly different things from your eyeballs to focus.

We have an internal web-based dashboard that shows the current or last state of most of our automation apps and their tasks. Each app is listed and color-coded to indicate its state: green for okay/information only, yellow for an error, red for a critical error. I want to add symbols to aid in quickly determining these states without resorting to colors for any folks with a color vision deficiency.
Is there a standard or widely used set of symbols that represent those three states? If not, what symbols would you suggest?
Edit: If only I could spell 'state'...

Those could work. Hmm...

Good. No symbol
Ill. Yellow warning triangle ⚠️
Terminal. red X (in a circle or not)❌

Thanks. I was considering the warning triangle for errors, and debating the use of either a fire or a fire extinguisher for criticals. Currently no symbol means the app hasn't reported anything.

You might use an XXX for no communications, and a picture of a dumpster fire for Critical...

Use a checkmark for Good. I agree with the error & critical error signs.

I don't know if there is a standard but here's what I have used in the past :
check mark = OK
exclamation = Error
big X = Critical Error
I used these because there are icons in a variety of styles and sizes available for all of them, such as for the message boxes in windows.

Thanks. Those are also available in various HTML character sets which are easier to use than image icons. I'm using the check mark elsewhere, so I might need to find an alternative for one case.

Um, how about words? In the past icons used to make sense, but now they are often times just a symbol that no one can initially decipher (hence your question).

The dashboard already lists the typically long app names of which there are currently about 15; I think more words would clutter it up and take more mental effort to see the status words.

Don't forget to include the words for screen readers, even if they're not visible to regular browsers. Maybe using the aria-label[^] attribute.

I'd look at MesageBox icons, they're universal and most people get the meaning.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?
