I spun MDFMK. Loved it!
Then I went back to an Apoptygma Berzerk track and just let YouTube Music run a playlist. It put VNV Nation on. OMG. Another band/artist I'd forgotten about. This voice is super fucking soothing.
Thank you SO MUCH for the reminder about long forgotten music Char. You ROCK!

HOLY SHIT CHAR YOU ARE A FUCKIN MAGICIAN
I used to listen to Apoptygma Berzerk last century. I'd completely forgotten about them, they fell out of rotation when I swapped to streaming instead of mp3's I think.
MY EARS ARE SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!

I hear ya on that one. It is also cheaper than beer, but I cannot buy a 750ml (I believe that's "a fifth" in the US) or Stupid Things happen.

Last time I got on a beer kick I thought "I'll buy a big box, that'll be cheaper per can and will last".
It was cheaper. It did not last. I have poor impulse control.

I couldn't help myself 😆. It's probably a hexadecimal checksum of the original long filename. That also explains why the Thai filename ended up with just hex as well.

How are Short File Names generated in Windows?
I am currently using the following P/Invoke signature to get the short filename of a regular Windows file:
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int GetShortPath...

BEEF STEAK TOMATO! We don't get edible tomatoes (or good cheese) here in Thailand without paying an unholy amount of money. I'm not rich (no wooden toilet seat here), so I haven't had a cheese and tomato sanger for years.

Good question. Those of you with sensitive dispositions, look away
I made a folder called 😬 and put a file called 😬.😬 in it.
Directory listing showing the short filename reports the filename is 1EAB~1 - no extension
I also tried some Thai text, some rock dots, and a standard long file name
