     Terry Pratchett was asked why he had 6 screens. He replied he didn't have space for 8.

     Dude, are you even a dev if you don't have a vertical screen for code? I've seen coders with ultra wide screen curved monitors vertically. Looks hilarious!

     The least of your concerns is an extra screen, get rid of this Crapple garbage or quit larping, it's embarrassing seeing you on the timeline.

     @elisavetsky The little screen, bottom right is a separate older Mac that I control via the same keyboard/mouse. One of the monitors is hooked up to an Apple TV that I airplay to (extended screen). If they all had DisplayPort I’d daisy chain via that.

     Alternatively, you could get rid of 3 by asking an AI assistant to summarize their content for you?
