atxhxon Ask HN: How on earth are you using your Apple computer with external displays?

Similar problems with my M1 air. The Dell monitor I had connected in a weird color mode YCbCr which make the screen look washed out and everything was blurry with 1440p. Then I found out about the no 2 external monitors problem after I had already bought it. Ended up buying a LG 4K ultrafine which works great and using this to drive my 2nd vertical 1080p:

atxhxon Microsoft Flight Simulator

I wonder how this will run on Xbox. I've been out of PC gaming for a while now and no way this will run on my current PC. It would be sweet if you could hook up a flight stick to an Xbox and play this.

atxhxon Ask HN: Which tool do you use to create beautiful diagrams?

Diagram Designer: http://logicnet.dk/DiagramDesigner/

Windows only but works really well in wine.

atxhxon Ask HN: How do I learn math/physics in my thirties?

I enjoyed reading the No Bullshit Guide to Math and Physics: https://gumroad.com/l/noBSmath It's a brief overview but covers a lot of topics. The author's writing style and the book's layout worked well for me.

The same person wrote a book for linear algebra as well but I have not read it: https://gumroad.com/l/noBSLA

atxhxon Ask HN: I have ssh, they have ssh, how can we chat?

I remember netcat being installed on OS X by default, you could ssh in and run it or pipe the port through ssh.
