• Ultra Librarian Joins Flux to Take the Hard Out of Hardware

  Having never heard of Ultra Librarian, I thought this was somehow related to https://justgetflux.com/ and that they'd made a switch from doing color changing to hardware. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Is it just me who dislikes the winter update with the change of colors?

  Reshade might help with the color tones. I normally use f.lux for Windows, but I don't know how much it might help. Could be worth trying, though. Source: 5 months ago

• Create a shortcut for even lower phone brightness

  This is good advice, but I prefer something that automatically dims and reduces blue light for me. That qay I don't have ro remember. f.lux on Windows and Mac, and Twilight on Android, are what work for me. https://justgetflux.com/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Blue-light glasses may not reduce eyestrain from screens, study says

  > I can't put nightmode in Windows too close to 100 percent (i put it between 50-65) because then the contrast is just too bad. I hate windows night mode. As soon as you go above "slight" (can't remember the numbers, I'm not a frequent windows user and don't have one handy to check) it gets a sickly yellow taint.

  Something that helps me is If you want to reformat, Winderstat scans your drive and shows you the size of every folder, plus a visual representation so you see whats taking up more space exactly. Source: 8 months ago

  Not xcom specific advice, but this tool is pretty nifty: https://windirstat.net/. Source: 10 months ago

• 2 issues, not enough disk space to open some stuff on my computer, and defragmenting has been stuck at 75 percent for hours.

  Delete some things to get a bit of space, then download windirstat. This application scans your drive and provides a nice way to see your whole drive and what's taking up the most space. You can manually click on each colored area and delete entire directories instead of trying to hunt down whats taking up space. Source: 10 months ago
