Re: Trackballs

I also have this function via a button on the top but with the extra button (by my thumb) to reduce the dpi when needed during gameplay, some buttons can be set to whatever functions you want, check out the specs from razer.

Re: Trackballs

I have an extra button on my latest mouse that reduces the dpi when pressed to allow finer movement, I found this useful when doing fine work and when gaming it allows slower tracking when "scoped" for more accurate sniping shots :D

Re: Bitlocker by default with Win11 24H2

I guess you haven't used Chris's script then, it can really slim your system down, I used it on both my desktop (Win10) and laptop (Win11) the only ones with Windows on them and the results were pretty amazing!

Re: Bitlocker by default with Win11 24H2

I haven't checked but the last time I installed Windows I used Chris Titus Tech's script to remove/disable certain parts of Win11 that I do not care for, might be worth checking back on it to see if it has been updated to cater for this.

Re: Trackballs

I remember having one many years ago and it was really good to use, at the time I was using standard mouse with a physical ball that rolled on the desk and it was a major upgrade, like @wove already said there is no moving when you tap the button which I could probably use more now as I have recentl...

Re: When did the UK go metric?

As well as the above comments I find I use metric for anything small and detailed (like 3d print designs / ingredients for cooking) although mouse speed and Tv resolution is always dpi (dots per inch) and then imperial for anything bigger, height is always feet/inches, temps in Centigrade, one heck ...

Re: cataract surgery

That's great news! My father had laser surgery on his eyes and the difference was quite literally night and day!

Re: What hardware are you using?

That's a good result then! i get great pleasure from resurrecting failed hardware, even when it's old and probably not worth the expense of taking it to a repair shop. :)

Re: Neon and Plasma 6

I see the latest version (17) dropped having Xfce as an alternative desktop (available in 16), I guess to reduce workload as maintaining one DE would be a lot of work and two simply doubles that amount!

Do they use snaps/flatpacks as default apps or just have them available?
