    Volume goes waaaay down immediately. Then if it has motion blur, that goes all the way away from me.

    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.

        For me it depends on the program. For GitHub I prefer high contrast light mode. Also, I like that GitHub’s high contrast modes aren’t ugly.

    Dark mode and switch language to English (unless the thing is originally German) not least because it’s much easier to find support in English.

      This is the key, if I can read the original, I want the original.

    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.

    I always change Sprint to Spacebar and Jump to Shift. Also I usually have to change the invert Y-Axis setting.

      When it’s tilting the camera, what is considered “inverted” should be the default. You’re not panning up and down. You’re tilting forward and backward.

        An abomination

        Accessibility application. activates when you hold shift for 3 seconds in most Windows installations. It exists in macOS and Linux but I’ve never had it be an issue on those platforms.

      You wouldn’t believe how much more bearable it is when you don’t install it in the first place!
