At least the snowmobile sounds are dampened by the snow a bit, unlike noisy mopeds and motorcycles in the summer!

You forgot one perk that I really like.

The snow is sound dampening, everything is just much quieter in winter (as an added benefit to there just being less noise generating things going on)

If you happen to use a Conbee II: I had this issue until I updated the firmware. Has been rock solid with aqara devices after that.

Yeah it seems mostly SEO bait whenever I get results for it. I mostly rely on “awesome” lists on GitHub to find actual alternatives.

It is a race and being faster than your competitors means you win. It’s a game and the reward is dopamine.

As someone living in northern Scandinavia it has gotten so warm in the summer here that I don’t find it appealing anymore 🙁

Can’t imagine how terrible people in the properly affected areas have it

For sure, but I’d still prefer that over getting the same order of songs every time.

I heard they’ve fixed it, but it used to be limited to 100 songs, and it was a simple re-order and not actually random. It’d always put tracks in the same order (unless you’ve changed something in the first 100 tracks since last time)

You’d have a 300 song playlist, hit shuffle, and it’d “shuffle” the same 100 songs in the same order, but start at a different point every time.

I had an employer that uses Santander for pension, within a day of them adding my info into Santanders systems my email that has never gotten spam before in over 10 years (custom domain, only every used for government stuff or employment stuff) got 20-30 spam emails. It keeps getting 10 or so a day since then.

Big banks WILL sell your info.

LTSC 24H2 released sometime at the end of May? I installed it just recently in a VM…

If you happen to torrent a fair bit (especially public trackers) then ipv6 can make a huge difference, there’s loads of ipv6 only seeders and leechers I’m suddenly reaching.

My solution to #1 is installing it in a VM and copying the installed game over. It works, but quite annoying

This was all I had on hand, goes into setting it as default but does also decently show why it is good

Steam actually has a startup argument you can use for scaling, I’ve been using if for ages.

-forcedesktopscaling=1.5

I use this, gives 150% scale

It played for 1 week in 1 cinema in my entire country… :(

Kinda handy during first time setup though. Can easily be 30 system apps updating, plus all the shit you might be grabbing from previous installs.

Creds for leaving it up though.

I switched when a Windows update for the third time in a month forcibly changed the default pdf and html file association to edge.

That was like 5 years ago, and I’ve never looked back.
