    It still does it. The only thing is that the awareness of this feature was spread in a way to make it sound like it was just stealing your internet for nothing (which looking at it one way, it was) so most people just turned it off.

    Non "Gaming" Headphones, but for gaming

    Hi, I want to buy a headphone for gaming, but I've read a fair few times that it's better to have normal headphones and a dedicated mic than to have gaming headsets. I mean, it certainly has been true for nearly everything except mice so far (I really appreciate the extra buttons), but then again, it hasn't been true for mice. Currently I only have an Apple wired earphone, and it's pretty good, but I would also like to have headphones. For some context, my budget is about $150, and I necessarily want either wired headphones, or wireless ones that can also operate via an AUX cable. I don't really mind mic quality, so long as does have any serviceable mics that can get my voice across. I can go with both stereo or surround. I do play fps games - but I've played for about 5 years with a stereo gaming headset with no problems in directional audio. One thing I've noticed is that out of the four gaming headsets me and my family have bought, all of them have disintegrated really quickly - like 2 years from purchase. That's one of the reasons I believe gaming headsets fall into the overpriced category compared to normal headphones, for now. Plus alongside being able to game on a normal headphone, I would have something for movies and music too - all in one device. So, is it better for me to purchase gaming headphones, or use normal ones? What would be some of your recommendations?

    When I left home at 19, things opened up for me a lot more than I expected. But I still regret the 8 years that I was just "hanging in there" because the alternative was just so much better. I see where you are coming from, but unless the parents are only somewhat bad parents that otherwise take care of you, this is bad advice.

    Jump
  • SpaceXplorer_8042 SpaceXplorer_8042 12 months ago 100%

    SOLVED - I was able to solve this issue. Credit to black7375 (MS_Y) on github, I skimmed through his Firefox-UI-Fix (Photon Style) Project to find this out.

    To fix this issue, go to your profile directory (Steps to do so).

    Create a folder name 'chrome' if not already present.

    Inside that folder, create a file named 'UserContent.css'If you're on Windows, that can be done by making a new .txt file, naming it 'UserContent' and then replacing the .txt extension with .css

    Paste this CSS code in there.

    Look at the section that says ".top-site-outer .tile .icon-wrapper"

    This is where most of the magic happens

    By default the width and height settings are set to 100%, here I have set that to 75%, because personally it looked good to me. You can customise this size yourself, or if you want to have the default sizing that comes with Firefox, you can erase the "75%" and type in "48px" instead.

    For those who are experienced in CSS, please do correct any mistakes I have committed in either the code or the explanation.

    How do I change the look of the New Tab shortcuts on Waterfox?

    So, you know how on mainstream Firefox, the shortcut icons are a bit padded to give them a uniform look? ![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/bc3074dc-1dbe-42f8-a17d-2344930b85f1.webp) Yeah, I wanna do that, but with Waterfox, a fork of Firefox. I know, this is not exactly the sub for that browser, but this is the closest I could find here on lemmy. Currently on Waterfox, the padding on shortcut icons seems erratic. ![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/bc40eba1-be14-4c19-b665-30878f405cc1.webp)

    I learnt quite a lot, but I guess the most important things I've learnt is IT stuff. Since I had a computer, I used to mess with anything and everything. As a result I learnt things that people can pay thousands to a third party to do, when it sits right on their PC. One of my relatives is in the IT industry (senior manager for a unicorn company) and I once casually just showed him what I knew. Even he admitted I had some interesting stuff up my sleeve.
