Edges Of The Desktop Are Cut Off On Display Fix ~~~ windows 11 Dell laptop ~~~ well it got something to do with the bizarre HDMI scaling

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8JOg_9YcSI&t=198s

an excellent You tube fix for my second monitor display size cut off problem

it is called HDMI scaling

I disconnect my Dell midday

then reconnected in the afternoon

ah .. shit...

the taskbar got cut off at the bottom on the second screen (an old Samsung syncmaster)

so annoying

its something called custom scaling ~~ HDMI

my dell happen to have the Intel Xe graphics command center installed

start the app and do the custom scaling, well things got back to where it was

 update: early in the morning when I start the laptop again, the external monitor appear shrank, so I started Intel graphics command center again, choose the external monitor, then the screen stretched out again, then I had to adjust the scaling again, what a start for the day

 update: I have to keep the Intel graphics command center up and running, so my 2nd screen will not swell and shrink between hibernations / sleeps

why my dell laptop feels warm in the morning after sleep mode ?

 bit disappointing

some settings not in the modern win 11 settings

some power options are still in traditional power options

run --- control

 where the device goes to Hibernate or Shutdown when lid is closed, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
  2. Select "Choose what closing the lid does" on the left panel.
  3. Set the "When I close the lid" option to Sleep for both On battery and Plugged in.


on my laptop, I clicked enable hibernate appear on start menu
 
and changed a few other settings

how much carrots should i eat per day ?

 In reality, 100g of carrots a day, or just under one carrot (the average weight of which is 125g),

Lycopene: This is a bright red antioxidant found in many red fruits and vegetables, including red and purple carrots. Lycopene may decrease your risk of cancer and heart disease.

Red carrots provide an alternative to tomato paste as a good dietary source of lycopene
