I lowered the keyboard height, something that was fucking with my ability to properly type without having to look at the keys. XD

Changed to leankeys. Samsung keyboard's symbols did not change when the font size was adjusted.
Layout will take time to adjust to, especially the symbol's placements. #learningcurve #keyboard #layout #accessibility #leankeys

Once I get my finances back in check (pay off debt) the dyslexic ASUS ROG STRIX x670e-f motherboard (when I say this, the problems* are well documented) will be replaced with one that supercedes it, ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E.

*Sound, PCI-E and NIC are all routed via USB and suffer random frequent "disconnections". USB ports "disconnect" when anything is plugged into them at random. Graphics shuts off. System reboots during standby.

@itsfoss Windows is self-destructive in nature (slows itself down, deceptively make you think it's the hardware and blames it on that alone).
I only use it in a VM.

Do you agree? 🤔

About the Chrome LLM thing:

Google has been working for 15 years now (maybe longer) on dismantling the Internet that you love and cherish.

Fuck them. Don't use their stuff. It's toxic. All of it.

@Vivaldi At least firefox is up-front about and gives you the option to outright disable it all at will.
The only one thing I keep enabled, is the website translation - that's it (doesn't rely on google).

@janamarie I don't know how the hell I can get this done with my canon camcorder.
I know my sony handycam has a motorised IR filter and that annoying green function, however probably still has a UV filter in place.
Don't feel like tearing it apart to remove both (disable the motor after it lowers).

hahaa! Successfully removed all IR and UV filters from my old Canon EOS 600D, I can do full spectrum, UV and IR photography now!

All of the following photos have been taken with a ~550nm+ lpf, meaning cutting everything under 550nm (blue, purple and uv) off. I love the vibrant pink foliage and dramatic turquoise skies #photography
