255 gives 0-255, which gives you a zero value. 256 is 1-256, you lose the option of setting 0.
It really has. I had always tried to use Linux in the past, but gaming was always a fight, and the OS just never felt like it behaved reliable for daily usage for me, was always some little annoyance or bug or issue I'd…
There is a Windows build for it. I don't know if it's official or not, but there is a Windows build and it does work well.
My only tip isn't really useful. Just avoid going to that hostile country for now. Unless there's a specific necessity. And if that's the case, then change all your social media accounts info, change the name, change…
Vivaldi is what I use. uBlock works fine with it. I have no issues with content loading or anything weird. I just describe it as "chrome, but if someone actually cared about the UI and functionality", and the mouse…
Genuine question here: what's the actual benefits of blocking icmp? Not asking "Why should I leave it on", I'm specifically asking for legitimate valid use cases for disabling it. I really can only think of one, abd…
Same for me, I've entirely abandoned google's search engine. It's become rapidly more useless to the point where it's just become a search engine for their ad servers, to browse what ads and garbage is in their database…
Adblock. You can selectively block elements from sites. I've blocked shorts from it and honestly forgot how annoying it was until these comments. Just right click, block element, preview before applying, make sure you…
As someone with decades of search engine experience, it's mainly knowing key words and exact phrases to use as well as excludes to filter out garbage. It's a bit hard to teach/explain in a single post, but if you search…
I use a variety of mostly search engines that get me an answer much faster. Google/Bing frequently point to sites/articles written by AI anyway. Using a LLM directly often gives too much garbage and doesn't often stick…
I enjoy traveling a lot. Specifically traveling. Not arriving and staying somewhere, not vacationing, not sight seeing. Traveling has always been a fun experience to me. The road trip, the adventure part of a vacation.…
My goal of the cameras, which my neighbours know about, is not protecting me. It's protecting us. I point cameras at their houses, at their doors & driveways from my property. Why? Because they can't install a camera on…

It should always show its current state. If a button is doubling as a status display, it needs to display current status, that's the entire point of a button doubling as displaying information. Would you flip a breaker…
That isn't my interpretation, nor did I ever make that statement. That IS infact a valid definition of copyright infringement. The source material is copyrighted and you're making a literal copy of it via photocopier. I…
Because if I can rewrite my printer to not intentionally be a total piece of shit, the company gets less money by intentionally expiring or wasting ink, DRM locking ink cartridge brands, or "service needed" bricking the…
Per United States law, imagery/art/music/text/photography generated by non-human means (such as machinery, animals, or generative AI) cannot hold copyright.…
Google Fiber ISP. They won't admit it's static, but it is. I've had the same IP for three years since moving into this house. In that time, I've had power outages lasting for days, IP was still the same. I've replaced…
Most pet owners are well aware of the info in these articles. It's obvious my cat can think, learn, remember, and recall. When she wants attention, she comes to me, pats her paw against me for my attention, and then…
I don't know what Windows 11 Pro version has bitlocker on by default, but none of the systems I have at home enabled it as a default setting. Whether upgrading from 10 or complete nuke the drive and install fresh, I…
I just shop at AliExpress instead of Amazon. All the same exact stuff, but typically half to a tenth of the cost. I just have to settle with longer shipping times, which is fine, if I need something now-now, I can just…
That's how I already use reddit. I tried their mobile app and it was so garbage I just use it in browser in desktop mode to avoid the annoying "Reddit is better on mobile" lie that I had to click past every time. I…
The two hour rule isn't solid. I've returned a game after completing a 1 hour tutorial of the game, only to get into the main game and find out it was nothing like the tutorial lead me to believe the game was. I had to…
I just apply to every job I find interesting. Of the 7 job agency locations I've been through, zero have found me any work, they've been nothing but a useless waste of time. I have a 16 page master resume I tailor back…
GPUs are doing the same thing. Every generation does bring more efficiency, but also includes an increase of power consumption. I'd like to see a line that aims to reduce power consumption by a meager amount (1-5%) each…
