They shouldn't be locked at all. If the phone is included with the contract, it probably requires you to pay it off if you cancel early anyways.

The orange indicating gel is less toxic, but it's still not good for you. Don't dry any indicating silica gel in the same oven you use for food. The clear silica gel is non toxic, but breathing the dust can cause silicosis.

I would return that shit immediately. There is absolutely no use for smart functionality in a computer monitor. I would suspect it's a TV sold as a monitor and will have the same issues as using a TV as a monitor.

That's the same way it works on the fediverse. You post something publicly and anyone can see it regardless of whether you block them or not.

For that price you can get a decent surround sound system. Sound bars don't sound much better than the speakers built into the TV.

Commercial displays usually don't have a very good picture quality. They are intended to be used as signs and are optimized for brightness.

A good projector is definitely the way to go if you have the room for one.
