I suspect that this is a feature, or at least a partner-related market decision, rather than a bug, and I suspect the most you’ll be able to say is “the weather is nice today” or “thank you for sharing this”, buuuut…

DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253432530?sortBy=rank

With a full implementation of DisplayPort 1.2 MST it should be possible to output to two independent (non-mirrored) monitors over a single USB-C port. This can be via an MST hub/dongle or using monitors that support DisplayPort MST daisy chaining. This is a core part of the spec to the point that my Steam Deck supports this.

macOS, however, will treat MST displays as targets for mirroring instead of separate displays. The only way to have an elegant “one wire” experience with a MacBook is to use a much more expensive Thunderbolt dock or a dock that uses a DisplayLink chipset which requires a driver to be installed (as DisplayLink are a company unrelated to DisplayPort).

It’s worth noting that macOS does support MST in the form of two video streams for one very high-resolution monitor, which is kind of interesting.

I’d love it if we could use MST docks/hubs/splitters with macOS rather than either needing expensive third-party peripherals or plugging multiple wires into our MacBooks. Especially because most office setups I’ve seen recently use MST hubs if they offer dual monitors!

Thanks for reading this far, and more importantly thank you for soliciting feedback in this forum and manner. Best of luck!

I try to buy my Mum interesting books for her birthday and Christmas and she always wonders how I find such gems so consistently. My secret - it’s comments like this on Lemmy or the other place, back before the great migration. So thank you - this is going straight on the list! She’ll love it 😊

Your Lemmy client is fetching and displaying a preview of the link. YouTube has decided to give you a German-language preview for some reason, maybe based on your geolocation, VPN, or settings.

Op is innocent on this one!

And this explains why Harry married Meghan.

The first king of the USA won’t be a Trump. The Royal House of Windsor has been playing the long game to take back what was rightfully theirs.

Rapid Unscheduled Engine Hot-Swap 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down

Shoulda been done long ago

The sense of resignation, the combination of slaughter and starting a long-overdue chore.

What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?

How can you run when you know?

How indeed? Beyond chilling.

Thank you for asking actual humans instead of an LLM 😊 Here’s my favourite example, and it’s worth digging into more: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/03/10/foreign-policy-the-u-k-pivot-to-ai-is-doomed-from-the-start/

TIN SOLDIERS AND NIXON’S COMING

WE’RE FINALLY ON OUR OWN

THIS SUMMER I HEAR THE DRUMMING

FOUR DEAD IN OHIO 🎵

…I wonder if there’s a Chinese equivalent of CSNY who wrote a song about Tiananmen Square..?

C’mon, Canada, do the funni, eh?

Or too young? 😉 It’s an old IRC quote that did the rounds. Here’s an archive of the original: https://bash-org-archive.com/?244321

The “hunter2” joke above was playing into the idea of a dodgy user saying “you can type something sensitive like your password and the server will replace it with asterisks. See: *******. That was my password! Now you try” leading to the response of “hunter2”, the password of a guilable user. It didn’t really work in this context as a joke, and now I feel sad to discover that bash.org is no more 😩

Slow reply, sorry, but I just wanted to say that your lands are beautiful 😊

That looks pretty cool indeed! 🤩 Very nice!

I hope that you eventually build Linux and Mac clients, as personally my Steam Deck has replaced my Windows gaming PC and I’m not convinced that I’ll ever go back to Windows at this point.
