Any monitor experts out there?

I'm thinking about going back to dual 27" 4k monitors for my desktop mac setup (currently using a Dell S3423DWC wide curved monitor, but I'm not happy with the resolution / blurriness of it with a Mac).

My current plan is to buy ONE Dell Ultrasharp 27" 4K, the U2723QE model with the awesome full featured USB-C hub in it. That would be my main photo editing monitor. And I'd pair it up with the much less expensive Dell 27" 4K S2722QC monitor, which I'd use for writing, research work, coding, etc.

So my question: these are obviously different monitors with different quality in the screen, though both are 4K. Any challenges or issues I should be considering using these with an Mac Mini M4?

My plan is to hook up the Ultrasharp to one of my Thunderbolt ports, but where I'm hazy is should I a) daisy chain the other monitor to the Ultrasharp's USB-C downstream, or b) hook up the second monitor to the Mac Mini's available HDMI port instead? I'm concerned about the USB-C hub's bandwidth on the Ultrasharp.

Also, I like controlling things via the mac's keyboard (screen brightness, etc). I run an app called Monitor Control to do this with my current setup. I assume I can use it with the new monitors, but don't know how it works with a dual monitor setup.

Does anyone else put music directly on their smart watches (in my case, a Galaxy Watch 5), to listen to music wirelessly, without an internet connection, on the go with bluetooth headphones or a bluetooth speaker?

Just recently discovered this, and it's pretty liberating. No phone needed! Normally when I go on a long walk, I feel I need to take my phone so I have access to music. Now I have 5gb of mp3 files right on my watch, and can leave the phone at home.

I mostly like the idea and concept of the term "creators". But some days, I really don't.

You see, actual content creators didn't need that term for millennia of content creation, from writing books, to carving statues, to painting, etching, carving, to creating tapestries, to writing poetry, to performing a play, to publishing a newspaper, to reviewing products, to taking photographs... and so on and so on.

Only when people started doing 3 minute vertical videos, wearing bust-enhancing exposed shirts, starting off with "HEY GUYS...." while pimping some butt acne removal cream (they get a kickback on) that "HONESTLY GUYS, this changed my life!!!!" ...

Did people start calling themselves creators.

Kinda reminds me of the term "vegan leather", to describe the plastic, vinyl, fossil fuel laden crap cheaply used to do fake leather on books, clothes, and bags. A pretty wrap.

Looks like I got our account on Threads shadowbanned. It's no longer showing up in people's "For You" feeds much.

I guess I chose to like too many posts that were critical of Zuck and his stupid "masculine energy" rants.
