Huge High Resolution Wallpaper Website
Mydeskcity is a huge, and I mean really huge, high quality wallpaper website that is not overloaded with advertisement like many other wallpaper repositories out there. The only drawback that I could find is that this website is not in English but Chinese, at least I think it is Chinese. Navigating it is easy nevertheless: The thumbnails on the main page depict the theme of the category, clicking on one of the numbers above the thumbnails lead to the corresponding page of the category.
The wallpaper website has 15 categories that contain up to 300 pages all with 20 wallpapers each. As you can see a huge collection of wallpapers. Minimum size of most wallpapers is 1280*1024, most have a higher resolution like 1600*1200. Let me know if you find a great one that you want to share, post the link in here.
If you do not understand Chinese, I suggest you use a translation service like Bing Translator to translate the website into a language that you do understand. Once you do you will realize the several things have changed. The website for instance detects the screen resolution of the connected monitor automatically and displays it on the site. When you now select a wallpaper image you will automatically be presented with the right image resolution that comes closed to the detected screen resolution.
The site has increased its wallpaper collection throughout the years. You now find additional category listings on the site, as well as thousands over thousand of wallpapers. The website is not as easy to navigate as Interface Lift or Desktop Nexus which both offer a cleaner design. This can both be attributed to the language the site is provided in, and the complex navigational structure that it is making use of.
Update: The original website is no longer available. I highly suggest you check out the two sites listed in the last paragraph instead as they provide you with a great selection of wallpapers that you can download for free to your system.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
