I turn off sounds. I hate computers that whoosh when I do something with windows, beep for no apparent reason, click when something else happens.
i honestly take that option for granted lol, it’s so weird when someone else’s computer bloops when a notification pops up. same with phones honestly, if i’m not expecting an important call it’s staying on silent
One of the many “corrections” that I make with mine.
Volume goes waaaay down immediately. Then if it has motion blur, that goes all the way away from me.
Every time I get a new laptop I have to disable “natural” scrolling. Down should be down, dang it.
on every new android phone i go to developer options and change animation scaling 0.5x, makes the phone feel much quicker
oh dang, just tried it out and it’s brilliant, thank you internet stranger!
Screen brightness, dark mode, night light, if it’s a mobile device then Airplane mode.
Curious what you use airplane mode for so much? Brightness, blue light, themes(dark mode) I often use but curious what I’m overlooking with Airplane mode
Because for cellphone, I pretty much use wifi only and try to limit data usage. I believe on some devices airplane mode also turns off bluetooth by default as well, but you can still turn on bluetooth while in airplane mode if you need it.
About a hundred settings on a computer.
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.
Disable the “tap to click” function on laptop touchpads.
Turn off touchscreen beep on the car infotainment screen.
Usually screen brightness. Why does everyone else want to burn out their eyes?
Mouse sensitivity. Every game it’s just ESC spam until I can get an options menu. Shoutout to the games with a 5m gameplay intro before you can access options. Super double special shoutout to games with 5m of very loud unskippable cutscenes before you can change audio settings.
I switch from swipe to buttons on my android phone every single time.
I used to use WindowMaker as my windowmanager, there was a setting which had the comment “this is annoying”, which unless used, wm context menus may be rendered off screen, which is really fucking annoying. I was disrohopping a lot at the time, so it was always “install windowmaker, turn on ‘annoying’ setting”
hide the taskbar.
TikTok is only bearable if you set it to open muted by default.
You wouldn’t believe how much more bearable it is when you don’t install it in the first place!
I don’t disagree. But despite my best efforts, I have friends who insist on sharing crap from there with me and while I used to be able to view in browser without having an account or logging in, they changed it so that to watch something someone shared, it just pops up a “view on the app” message.
