    Window Manager for multiple monitors

    At least you should be able to test to see if the DP ports are the problem. Disconnect the DP cables, arrange your desktop on the remaining HDMI, let it go to sleep, then resume and see if the problem goes away. Also, does your PC support video over USB-C. If yes, that is another option.

    BIIB closed yesterday at $286 is now trading at $403. This morning, before the FDA approved BIIB's Alzheimer drug, a Citi analyst predicted that BIIB would trade around $410 if the drug was approved. Very prescient. Is there a website that has estimates of what upcoming FDA drug...
