Joe Chip @joe-ch1p.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My motherboard has onboard RGB. The default colour is orange. I want it to be blue. Unfortunately, while I can set it to blue, there is no easy way to make it remain blue. Every reboot or sleep cycle returns it to orange. There is software to permanently change the colour but it’s Windows only 😡 020

He hides the black hole that sits where his soul should be very well, behind a facade of this jovial, beer drinking chap, but it’s a lie. He’s a racist, narcissistic bully, who takes pleasure in others’ suffering. He should never be let anywhere near power 000
