Hold a teaspoon in your mouth while you do it (upside down so you don’t poke yourself in the eye or whatever works best). Nullifies it instantly.

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.)

I used to have DisplayFusion to customise just how I liked, so I don’t know exactly when a lot of this stuff changed - could even have been Windows 10 - but things like support for different backgrounds on each monitor, ability to indicate the relative heights your monitors are set at so the mouse flows smoothly between them (useful if you have a proper screen and a laptop one for example), mouse will scroll the window where the cursor is currently located rather than the active window as default, easier snap layouts to simulate a dual monitor setup on one…generally it just works exactly how I would expect out of the box.

MacOS, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Mint, Solus…

Gonna get downvoted to crap for this, but what the hell - hi, it’s me, I’m that one guy who actually loves Windows a little more with every release. I’m continually surprised by the good stuff that’s baked into the OS now (e.g. Much better multi-monitor support) and how the real power users can do a whole load more besides with Powertoys (key remapping!) - It’s really encouraging to see that I need fewer and fewer specialist programs to get Windows to work just how I want.

I’m not wildly sold on AI being baked into the OS, but what the heck - Microsoft have earned their goodwill from me in recent years. I’ll play around with it with interest.

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.

I recommend a DNS-based ad blocker like NextDNS. Works on everything, everywhere!

This was exactly my (dumb, layman) view of things - great idea hobbled from the outset by the marriage of slow web apps with slower hardware.

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.

I too like fancy pencils. Mitsubishi’s range are my faves.

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

It’s like I’ve gone from using a promising alpha for a Reddit replacement to a near-finished product. I love it.

Interested in this too…
