A reminder that contrary to some, doing the same thing over & over & expecting different results isn't the definition of 'insanity'.

For many people, it's called practice.

And everyone practices differently. I don't deride others who are striving to be better no matter how they do it.

For about 10 frames in the movie Hiding Out I spotted a C128. Almost threw me off because it was attached to an Apple monitor.

Due to an infra meltdown in my neighbourhood earlier this year I was forced to subsist on Starlink for three months while NBN rolled fibre to my place. And I’ll tell you this: I’ve never seen more CAPTCHAs in my life

The abuse on Starlink must be epic

So anyway, X is launching a webmail service…

Use Windows 11? Try out Windhawk (windhawk.net). I did, and I like it. 'Slick Window Arrangement' is fantastic, and the Explorer file size via Everything is very welcome. Best yet, it is available via winget!

Run "winget install windhawk" in PowerShell, and see what I mean!
