Q: what does combining with Powertoys Run give you? I used to use Everything but dropped it this year for Powertoys Run as it seemed good enough at this point and meant one less program (although I'm sure Everything is very efficient.)

Nah, it's definitely available in 10 - used to use it a lot on my dual monitor setup at work and that's still not upgraded to 11. Fell out of the habit of dual monitoring during the pandemic so it hasn't really been necessary since...

Didn't know about this Powertoys feature, neat - think Windows actually has a built-in option you can toggle where if you hold down shift (or possibly ctrl? Haven't had cause to use it for ages) it'll highlight the cursor with a bright circle.

Interesting! I've never burned though a shirt but perhaps I've been lucky. Maybe I do need to invest in one of these...

I just tried searching for these and I'm genuinely confused. Is it not just...a hoodie made of light material? I mean, surely most if not all clothing will stop you getting burnt.

Spaceships Over Glasgow: Mogwai, Mayhem and Misspent Youth by Stuart Braithwaite - a musical memoir of the Mogwai star. It's a really great and nostalgic look back at the Scottish alternative music scene of the early 90s so far, enjoying it a lot!

Seconded. NextDNS is incredible and you don't even have to subscribe to get the benefit unless you're a super heavy user.

I was having real issues for ages with torrent activity causing issues on my home network, and tried all the usual things - e.g. Limiting bandwidth use, limiting number of connection, disabling DHT and the like - but for me, the culprit turned out to be the VPN, and specifically the use of a traditional openvpn based connection. Switching to Wireguard made a transformative difference. No issues since.
