MSFT saw what was going on with Notepad++ and decided to get in on that action
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

Bud Cort has died... I met him once when he acted in a play at the Los Angeles Theater Center around 1990. He was funny and odd and neurotic and great.
A story: he had long hair, and one day he was in hair/makeup trying different things with it, and had it in a ponytail with a hair tie.

Nested scenes are my bread and butter in overlay design and it never occurred to me that people don't know about it.
Yes! Entire scenes as sources is a thing in OBS and it's extremely useful when designing something modular!

I learned you can add scenes as sources in OBS, so you can set up a scene for something like a chat connected to a webcam and background, then import that scene into other scenes to keep that webcam and chat altogether as one group. It makes it really convenient to add commonly used sources.

I already quoted someone else's praise for this, but I feel the need to give my own endorsement. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on YT. It feels like a culmination of @techconnectify.bsky.social's channel, and I finished it energized as hell. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

I already gave this a like halfway through the video, but the last half hour easily pushes it into the "enthusiastic recommendation" category, and the last 15 minutes made me want to find a way to put Alec in charge of something important and/or run through a brick wall.

Twins traded IF Edouard Julien and RHP Pierson Ohl to the Rockies for RHP Jace Kaminska and cash.
Kaminska, a 10th-round pick in 2023, missed last season after elbow surgery.
Julien is out of options, so he couldn't be sent to Triple-A. Ohl had been designated for assignment.

Scorebug nerd thing: The dynamic data is cool, but the main component constantly moving is not a good design choice. Very visually distracting during game action, confuses the viewer on where to look when recall of that info needs to be instantaneous.
