When I was a Teen I tried to no buy things from Japan
NOW Today I try to buy non Knock off Woodworking tools from China
Sad part is the American Brands are using production shops in China
so the Chinese steal the design and offer it under Banggood and Temu brands
I buy refurbish Dell Precision Work Stations add a little memory if needed
most have 512 optical drives and 1TB SATA second drive
Cost is around $1000 to $1300 from Tek Boost in Texas
Thanks for the reply

If your going for "the best" add a few bucks and get premium screen.
Myself I got my 43" (4K) six years ago and never looked back. But of course it depends also how large screen your videocard can drive.
43" gives you 2x 21"-windows plus some space at the bottom or a mass of windows easily accessible without Alt+tab.

I was not happy with the 27 in but it seems as mentioned in another post
the manufactures went from 24 to 27 for higher end monitors
Thanks

At least check any fuses. Unplug first! F1, F2, … components on board near power cord input.
Also check external power adapter if it has its own. There was a trend for some years where monitors used external transformers so the displays could be thinner/lighter/etc.
I had a garage door opener with some pluggable fuses; two $5 fuses and it was back in business. Outage was from a nearby lightning strike that also took out a big TV. Big TV cost $150 to repair but was only a few years old, so I did it.

NO external transformer. Power cord direct to power surge suppressor
We are very rural community in the Mountains of Arizona
All the power is underground real surprise after living in growing up in Ohio
I still unplug with thunder storms. Bigger concern is lighting strikes
and fire 14 miles to the east of my house nothing but pine trees and the Apache cows
Thanks for the Advice

I made some Tetris wall art recently, and it only moves pieces randomly (though you can optionally control it via a connected PC's keyboard)
I wanted to make it strategize. How hard could it be, really?
[cs/0210020] Tetris is Hard, Even to Approximate[^]
Hard enough that it's an NP problem in many circumstances and there are research papers on the problem. 
I didn't say it had to be good. But apparently even playing badly is almost as hard as playing well.

I recently learned there's a whole community of tetris players who try to beat best scores.
Its was believed there was a best score x and after that pieces moved so fast that it was impossible to get it right.
That was until someone invented "tapping", where you could hit the buttons a lot faster.
Then they got to buggy levels because of some color schemes.
People got past that too.
This is how I learned: After 34 Years, Someone Finally Beat Tetris - YouTube[^]

The old freeware Hyperoids changed your ship color each level.
If you made it to level 16, your ship would match the background! Maybe the bullets as well.
A lot harder situation with Tetris!
