Favorites (F11): Press 'Insert' key until favorite list has been cleared

Make sure to use step instead of gradual when adjusting the fan curve. That way the fan only kicks in at 85C.

Note: The only way to make persistent changes to the fan curve is by dragging with the mouse. Manually entering numbers into the text boxes below does not work.

Memory

dmidecode -t memory | grep "Total Width"

72 bits means ECC is working.

Bump up the font size:

~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml : 16
~/.config/waybar/config            : 40 # height
~/.config/waybar/style.css         : 18
~/.config/waybar/style.css         : margin: 0 5px; # spacing

about:config                       : layout.css.devPixelsPerPx = 1.25 # firefox

Or, bump up the scale instead (not recommended):

output eDP-1 scale 1.25
