anon... you sir, mayhaps inadvertantly have solved my text display quandary on my 27" curved monitor.

I wonder, what did you do after that 32 TB leak of Windows builds and source code?

I was pretty excited when the Opera 12.15 source was leaked, but besides ports to queer Linux distributions and minor compatibility patches, no one has bothered to do anything significant with it (presumably due to legal risks). The greatest version of the greatest browser has simply been abandoned

Boring story - yesterday I swapped out my Moto G7 Power for the Moto G8 power, it's sick. I never buy flagship phones and have stuck with the Moto G series for years, specifically the Power version (Play version when Power didn't exist) for the monster battery life. The G8 is the first Power model that is above 720p, it feels like I'm staring at the future. Having a true HD resolution on a phone is something new to me as is Android 10. I can now see more detailed boobies on my phone.

That's probably why the battery lasts so long. A lot of these 4k phones only last a couple of hours. I use my galaxy s9 in 720p mostly, and it's still only lasts a few hours. Very annoying now that I live in a forest.

This is what you want.

Note that some programs do not play nice with it and their text overflows outside the expected area, or is clipped. You can disable DPI scaling as a compatibility setting (properties panel) for those.

As for the mouse thing, just increase the sensitivity and make sure to check out https://donewmouseaccel.blogspot.com/, because that stupid acceleration effect becomes much more noticeable at higher speeds

"For earlier Windows systems, right-click on the application icon, such as via a shortcut on the desktop, and select Properties. Then, select the Compatibility tab. Under settings, click Change high DPI settings. Doing so opens a new window where you can check off the Override high DPI scaling behavior box. There are three options for this setting, Application, System, and System (Enhanced). "

That did the trick for me, at least for the two programs where it counts most. Thanks!

Indeed! Hard to believe we have more computing power at ~~our~~ your finger tips... then it initially took to land on the moon.

Why have you been exiled to the forest? Did they find out about the Boris Bike...

One thing I want to get working is transfering moviefilms off my phone onto ext storage. I've got an external 256GB nvme drive with a USB-C adaptor. I plug it into the phone, go into ES File Explorer and it sees the drive and i can browse it. I have uTorrent on the phone, I steal a 1.6GB film, go in to ES, find it in the internal download folder, I do the option to copy it then navigate to the ext nvme drive and paste it and every fucking time without fail it hangs on copying and never completes

I use that drive to plug in to my Pi to watch stuffs on my telly. If I can get this working I never have to use my laptop again.
