Don't give me that "looking respectfully" crap I make my tits that prominent for a reason
i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.

we fucking found them?
Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:
"Smooth edges of screen fonts"
My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.
Y'all.
I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.
Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:
Then you'll see this:
TURN IT ALL OFF.
I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.
FUCKING THANK YOU.
we could go back to telegraphs instead of social media. send your mutuals unspeakable strings of morse code at 4:30am

so prefacing this with the fact that I know that the fun is sorta taken out of this by me translating, but not everyone will have the energy to look it up themselves, so I figured I'd help out.
Morse code: AEEEEE FELL DOWN AND TROKE MY PENIT TODAY YEOWCE OUCH YOUCH!!!! SENT FROM MY TELEGRAPH
Semaphore: NO NOT YOUR PENITS
yeah okay ill reblog that
Please keep this circulating. Cops are getting more and more brazen, know your rights!
good to know
Reblogging every time this goes past
I had to learn my rights the hard way…read this, study it, memorize it, this is insanely valuable information.
This is actually very helpful, thanks!
As a criminal justice student, I will say this is pretty accurate and extremely valuable info that everyone should know. Learn it.
Quick warning that the post doesn’t really go into: DO NOT OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR UNTIL YOU HAVE A VALID WARRANT. Sometimes, I do not have personal experience as to the frequency, a cop (see: bastard) will stick their foot in the door when you open it so you cannot close it again, and if you try to force it shut you will be “assaulting” an officer.
