Nah, we have blue or purple hair to hide the the brassy tones our hair gets when reach oldness, but getting the tint result neutral is harder than expected. Less so these days, and some hair types or damaged hair grabs the rinse much stronger than others.

    On my mobile.

    Now to try it on the desktop.

    [Edit: Desktop: hue 177 is boundary. It's probably more accurate, the desktop is colour calibrated for graphics/photography.]

    If your Steam account is nine years old, it now [edit to add: should] auto verify.

    Doesn't do me any good, my account is just shy of six years old, and my MC debit card still doesn't work. I'll be 60 before it auto verifies unless my debit card magically starts working.

    There must be some under 18s whose parents got them a steam account nine years ago who are now verified.

    Not in the same sense as North America. We have debit cards tied to bank accounts with a similar functionality as a credit card, but they often don't work at a negative balance. No one I know has a debit card that functions the same as a North American credit card. (I'm a Canadian living in Australia.)

    I have a MasterCard debit card, but it doesn't work as an age verification for Steam.

    And then it would finally connect, and your sibling would pick up the phone and start dialling....

    Aaaaaaargh!

    I remember way, way back in the days of dialup a very tech savvy friend had emailed me 20+ files, because I was the only one capable of stitching an image together. Took forever (days?) to download the files, and I had to redownload more than once due to roommates doing fun stuff like picking up the other phone line... (It was of his truck after hitting a moose.) Of course, I didn't get to see the image until he got home, I had a Hercules monitor, he had a fancy one that did actual graphics.

    I'm closing on my six months anniversary of not booting into windows. I wish I had converted earlier as well.

    Not having to deal with the whack a mole of problems that was windows is so very lovely.

    A few ongoing bothersome problems that honestly amuse me, and I'm far less stressed when something does go wrong that I can't fix.

    Haven't had a game (so far) that I couldn't get running, and really only miss one program that I could probably run under Linux if I really wanted to get dirty.

    One ongoing problem for some of my games and it's so random that after spending an hour trying to fix it I decided I didn't care enough, because I wasn't having the crashes I used to under windows. (The game freezes, and will stay stuck until having tabbed out to Steam (and only Stream), tabbing to anything else the game stays hung. Then some process comes along that I don't see, frees everything and I'm back to playing happily.)

    Another example: Artist Margaret Keane whose husband (Walter Keane) took credit for her paintings.

    She did get to enjoy credit for her work while alive.

    Not really sure what happened. More amused than anything.

    Two days ago, I had two browser windows, steam, and two other applications open across the two monitors on my machine.

    While interacting with one browser, everything else vanished. Steam wouldn't respond via the panel, but I could launch games in the recent list. Alt-tab only had the browser, nothing else.

    Nothing that vanished was on other workspaces. (I thought I'd somehow managed to switch the active browser to a new workspace, but maybe not?)

    Today, two reboots later (I shut my computer down at night) about an hour after I booted up, the browser that disappeared came back. Same pages and even paused where the video had been at disappearance, which hey great, but still weird.

    My computer is a Bermuda triangle.
