LG's firmwares are pretty bad in my experience. I have two LG monitors and they both have weird quirks. On the first one (a 34" ultrawide), all of its inputs lose connection for a moment whenever it wakes from standby (including t

Some other things to keep in mind regarding any phones in your group if you end up stranded: If you're in an emergency and your phone says you have no signal, call 911 anyway. It'll attempt to reach any network in range that the p

Old Reddit with a Stylus theme is how I've been using it for years. I'd occasionally switch to the new site just to check it's progress and while it has gotten a bit better in the last year or so, little nitpicks eventually

I tried essentially the same thing but via about:config. All it did was make it happen immediately on next restart. Also if it hasn't happened to you yet, make a backup of your profile right now in case it wipes out your addons data
