I don’t want to hear a another peep about the ‘AI future’ until they make multi monitor support not suck

The AI future would be bad enough on its own, eroding the human spirit and upending the economy in the name of a homework cheating revolution, but I find it especially galling that Microsoft is spending so much money trying to get me to turn on Copilot in Windows 11 and not fixing basic features that still suck. Microsoft is trying to sell me a turbo-charged Clippy that won’t stop taking pictures of my credit card number, but it can’t even fix its own multi-monitor support.

Now, granted, I have a weird setup. Which is to say I have the forbidden secret best setup that the government and media don’t want you to know about: Three monitors, but only one in use at a time. My old LCD for work and some gaming, a shiny new OLED exclusively for gaming (to avoid risk of burn-in), and a 19-inch Diamondtron CRT for retro PC gaming. A tool for every occasion⁠—when Microsoft decides to let me.

My great struggle, my eternal nemesis, is that my PC, for all its orders of magnitude greater processing power than its distant ancestors that put men on the Moon, cannot determine when a monitor is “off” or “on.”
