I would like to have a word to whoever invented "let's put this in a safe place so you can find it quickly later when you need it".

Why does every OS put the clock in a different place. On any day I use:

With all the airlines banning the use or charging of battery banks on planes. Can we look at making something like an NCAP Safety rating for battery banks? So people know what they are buying?
I buy more expensive brand names hoping for better safety features as they don't want reputation damage.

Can I suggest MP catering in parliament alternates between hospital meals, school lunches & prison meals.
If the food is good enough for those facilities it must be good enough for our MPs as well.

I got sick of typing while doing PenTests & writing reports, so have been using macros on a Streamdeck. I have put some thoughts on this & what I am doing in a blog post blah.karit.nz/2025/01/14/a...
Are You Sick Of Typing While Testing?
TL;DR Tools like keyboard macros or Streamdecks can help you test and remove friction points. If there are common bits of text you type a lot, there are ways that don’t involve alt-tabbing back to you...
