I JUST found out how to use dd. Holy shit.
I did file surgery to check if K3B's CD rips are as accurate as ExactAudioCopy's. At least with brand-new CDs, they're identical aside from being offset by 24 bytes (due to my DVD drive?).

I'm gonna try and not shut down my computer for a week and just suspend it every night. It IS very convenient just to open it up and continue where you left off.
I've met people who have not ONCE turned off their laptop since they bought it new.
That's honestly fascinating!
I want to see how long of an uptime I can get and maybe I'll become a suspender.
I just hope there's nothing on my PC that pukes RAM that ruins this experiment heh.

they changed the firefox back/forward gesture indicator to look and work way worse wtf

I cannot BELIEVE I had to Inspect Element to be able to enable basic motherfucking functionality on a router.
Putting it in bridge mode for some god-awful reason just disables the Band Steering and I Do Not Want 2.4GHz.
I had to remove the "disabled=""" property.
