Make Microsoft Windows show filename extensions.
By installing Linux, right?
Right?
And hidden files
Every time I get a new laptop I have to disable “natural” scrolling. Down should be down, dang it.
Disabling the absurdity of 12-hour clock with am/pm, which bizarrely often is the default for no rational reason whatsoever.
Many countries including the US use 12 hour time for everything, so it’s easier for a lot of people to not have to constantly translate. So it makes sense to be the default in those countries. And yes, I think 24hr should be standard everywhere, but it’s not. I also think it’s insane not to use SI units, but oh well. (I think we should use decimal time as well, but that’s never going to happen because we’d need to redefine so many units.)
As someone who lives in the US and has used 24 hour time for a long while, it’s not a problem. The translation is trivial when you realize that time is meaningless when you are going to die of black lung in the coal mines or possibly in a concentration camp.
Whenever I’m forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.
Same lol. Especially the show file extensions. It is crazy to me that this is not on by default. Not only is it a useful feature to know at a glance what you’re looking at, it is also a security feature.

Turn on dark mode if it exists
“Natural scrolling” or whatever it’s called with track pads on laptops where the scroll goes the opposite way your fingers are moving. I don’t know why that’s the default, it makes no sense.
Hm? I really prefer it, it’s the same scrolling as on phones.
Edit: This is meant to be a reply to the scroll wheel thread, I hit the button on the wrong one and am just gonna leave it here
On a phone you’re actually touching the page and physically moving the page around (not really of course but that’s the action it’s mimicking)
A scroll wheel is a button-based command, specifically I think it’s literal origin was a different physical space for PgDwn and PgUp
I can get why people like natural scrolling, sorta, because I invert my axis in some games, but only if they used laptops a lot at some point, as those bridge the gap
Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, Film Grain, and, depending on the game, Depth of Field must be disabled before New Game is ever pressed. All into videos/logos must be skipped. And, when applicable, I usually need to force the game to display PS buttons (or even use the triggers and gyro) because most games only detect the DualSense when it’s physically plugged in.

I fuckin feel like it should be illegal for Sony to advertise their wireless controller works wirelessly with PC too (as I know I’ve seen them do) when it actually doesn’t, it only works properly wired. I have your official signed and updated driver’s, Sony, ball is in your court!
Well they do work, at the most basic level. Mostly being emulated as an Xbox controller with Steam just so you can use it to play, but without any extras like the triggers or mic.
And I also thought Sony was to blame until I played a few things that it works 100% wirelessly with. I don’t think Sony is the guilty party in this; it’s the dev of the games that under utilize what the driver/BT stack can actually do. Though I do also have to wonder if Valve can make an emulation layer for it so when Steam detects you’re using a DualSense, it tells the game you’re running that and not that it’s an Xbox one.
On both Windows and Android I go in and remove all of the bloatware and disable all of the tracking. I also turn off all of the various communications ‘features’ that are to let devices talk other devices.
Every single time I launch a new game the first thing I ALWAYS have to fix is the fuckin audio being way too goddamn loud. Why WHY does every single game have to launch with all the volume set to 100%???
I can’t remember what game it was I started played recently, but it had all the volume set to 50% on first launch and my friend and I actually like cheered from joy. That should be the norm not an exception so rare we celebrate it.
If you are a game dev please for the love of God set the default volume to at least 50%. Let the player choose to blow out their eardrums if they want later. Don’t force it on all of us. Especially if you have loud music that starts the millisecond the main menu pops up or if you have any unskippable cutscenes before you let them see the volume settings.
