Many of the older monitors could let the smoke out if you gave it the wrong horizontal frequency. The better made monitors would limit the horizontal frequency to a safe value and just not sync if the video signal was outside that range. The later monitors were smart enough to not even try to display and invalid signal and may even show an error message on screen.

I never bought it because I can't self host my own server or mod it. I also don't like games with micro transactions.

Once they shut down the servers, nobody will be able to play it. I bought the rest of the Fallout games on GoG. They can't take those away since there is no DRM or internet connection required and I saved the offline installers.

Hydrogen would be fine as long as it's not flying above an inhabited area. Helium supplies are limited.

Run an iperf test to see if the ethernet adapter is working correctly. The speed tests on my USB ethernet adapter are almost identical to an integrated one as long as it's connected to a USB 3 port.

I would recommend installing Heroic Launcher too. It works good for GoG, Epic & Amazon games.

Firefox has had one hidden away in about:config since they started adding AI. Are they going to put it in the settings page now?

So what happens when the certificate expires? Do you get locked out if you don't have physical access?

Those displays are made to be very bright and usually have a lot of backlight bleed.

The filament absorbs moisture and that causes print quality issues. It can cause things like bubbles, stringing, poor layer adhesion and a rough finish. PLA will get brittle when it absorbs too much moisture.

Unless you live somewhere with a really low humidity, get something to store your filament rolls in. I like the Sterilite 54 Quart Gasket Boxes. They will hold a dozen rolls of filament. Put humidity meter and a big cloth bag of silica gel in there to keep it dry. Bake the silica gel when the humidity starts rising to regenerate it.

The 4 liter cereal storage containers work well for storing single rolls. You can print a spool holder that will fit in them so you don't have to take the filament out of the box to print with it.

Get or make a filament dryer too. The filament usually comes wet even though it's packed in a vacuum sealed bag.

I have a feeling that custom ROMs will get a lot more popular if those idiots manage to pass this.
