A KVM switch with HDMI and USB, makes switching from personal and work computer so much easier

I have one of these in my home office. Just press a button to switch from my work laptop to my PC, including all peripherals like speakers, webcam, mic, etc. My only complaint is that the audio behaves a little strangely. It buzzes and pops loudly when switching and during startup, and I’ve had to customize my audio configuration to account for some of the quirks, but it’s painless at this point.

This is the one I use https://www.avaccess.com/products/4ksw21-dm/

Do you know of any that support HDMI 2.1 properly for 8K 60 Hz monitors? I currently just have a USB switch and two HDMI 2.1 cables, and manually change the input on the screen each time.

Don't do that, do this: https://haim.dev/posts/2020-07-28-dual-monitor-kvm/ - free and works great!

I have the Aten CS1944DP, a dual screen, 4K60 DisplayPort KVM with the ability to drive 4 computers. I use two 27” 1440p144 monitors.

Cable management is a bit of mess, but it’s fantastic to be able to switch between personal, work, client and something else computers with the flick of a button (or keyboard shortcut).

I’ve not heard or seen any 8K KVM.

I've thought about these but don't want to mistakenly type something crazy meant for my friend groupchat into my work computer.

Sonoma doesn't allow to run older version of Xcode 14 and forces you to upgrade to Xcode 15. Even a downgrade to a Venture is not straight forward.

It’s the same every year.

At the time of this post, Sonoma was in beta.

The USCIS processing time is an issue here. It can require six months to a year. However, using premium processing, an H1B transfer can happen in 15 days.

One of the H1B visa requirements is a "employee-employer relationship," which means that a) someone has the authority to hire or fire you from your company, and b) the company should continue if you are fired (i.e. not go bankrupt, and other individuals can fill your function).

Does this imply that the investment firm will have greater power over the company than an immigrant founder?

Unshackled was built with this in mind and something we don't mess with. The founder is in control of value they create. You can learn more about this on our AMA on Wed :)

Looking forward to this AMA! Longtime admirer here. I'm a particular fan of your framing of US immigration law as an ancient "legal codebase." That's my approach too. Thanks for all you do.

If you have a board of directors, in your USCIS case, you can argument you have that relationship as board can fire a CEO.

Bubble Trouble: I’m not into gaming, but I fondly remember spending countless hours on this simple flash game https://poki.com/en/g/bubble-trouble with my roommates in my undergraduate days.

click-bite title should be edited to reflect this.

Question for the folks working in companies like Netflix, NVIDIA, and Adobe with unlimited PTO: How many vacation days do you take per year on average?

I did the same thing in the beginning of the year. Saves so much time and I have been more consistent with my workouts because of this.

What about competition? What prevents multiple copycat companies from propping up if a one-person startup grows to a billion dollar valuation?

I've recently seen that many job postings do include pay ranges. However, they only provide the base wage range; joining bonuses and stock grants are not included. I don't believe that this bill requires employers to report the full range of pay.

Stock grants and bonuses aren’t guaranteed to be worth anything. On the flip side someone who joined a company at the right time (pre-covid?) might have a stock grant worth much more than a new hire.

Honestly employers have been kneecapping themselves with this. E.g. Google job posts usually post base salary for L3 even if the listing is obviously for L5/L6. The total comp is like 2.5x the advertised amount. Why wouldn't they try to put the biggest number they can get away with?

They don’t need to, people already know.

> Why wouldn't they try to put the biggest number they can get away with

It is unusual in a negotiation to offer to pay the largest amount possible as your opening bid - they do it so they can pay the smallest number they can get away with.

If there is someone amazing that they want to pay $25mil to - they wouldnt be advertising the role.
