Except what if I'm connecting to a big-screen TV a long way away? I need all my UI elements to be quite a bit bigger in physical measurement. Not a totally made up example, I do this quite a bit when traveling, plug the laptop into the hotel TV and use the laptop screen + TV as two screens which are similar in subtended angle even though they're very different sizes.

#bikenite A8: After a few near misses with the metal hook ones, I bought a length of bungee cord at the hardware store, cut it into a few handy lengths and tied loops in the ends: those cords have been in regular use on bicycles and motorcycles for about 30 years now!
These days I mostly use Voile straps[*] although I have to admit I'm using hardware store knock-off ones. Very versatile things which do a great job of holding oddly shaped things firmly in place.

Since #doom is back in the #gaming news I thought I'd re-post this here:

Re-doing my #introduction now since I'm trying to be here a bit more ...
G'day I'm Nick, from the NE suburbs of #Melbourne , Australia.
I work as an #opensource #developer (mostly #python) doing remote work for various clients, and I'm also interested in #retrocomputing or, as I like to call it, computers back when I was a kid.
I'm into #cycling (slowly) and working up to doing some #cycletouring miles around Victoria this summer, and eventually elsewhere in the world.
I'm into #music generally and I'm (also slowly) learning to play #ukulele and learning a bit of music theory along the way.
I'm also doing some set design & construction for a #musicaltheatre group my daughters & their friends all seem to be in!
I'll probably be posting about those things more than work, tbqh. Older stuff, mostly tech-related, is on my blog at https://nick.zoic.org/
