    FWIW this website appears normal in Internet Explorer compatibility mode (i.e. IE7 mode). You'll probably have to jump through hoops to actually get it to open in Windows 10 though…

    Honestly, I'd rather have consistent and accurate colors across multiple monitors even though it would be limited to sRGB. Most content on the Web is for sRGB anyways, so it's not …

    gfx.color_management.mode = 1 only worked vaguely correctly if all of your monitors share the same color space (or you only have a single monitor). Videos also weren't color manage…

    Resizable BAR support was added in the latest BIOS update of my B450 motherboard (that also added Zen 3 compatibility).

    NVIDIA pushed the 3080's stock performance a little too high up the perf/watt curve. If you limit it to the TDP of the 2080 Ti, you lose 4% performance but you get much better effi…
