If you don't have it already, I'll shill for the excellent tool "Everything" by voidtools. This is a must-have for me on any new Windows install.

I do wish the first was more widely adopted. The typing experience on AppleTV is actively user hostile - the password is masked (you cannot reveal it) so if you even think you've made a mistake in one of your 25 characters, you need to

We've flown a helicopter on Mars. We've crashed a vehicle into an asteroid. I have to type 25 character random passwords into AppleTV with no mistakes 5-10 times from a remote. On that note, it's 2022 and I cannot set up an A

I just put in a couple hours of studying @ WGU for Discrete Math II last night, and I'm happy that the school exists. I spent months trying to get my brick-and-mortar to allow me to complete my B.S. remotely; I had dropped out after ju

I created this site to enhance my New Year's Eve experience. There are plenty of websites with countdown timers, but I couldn't find one solely dedicated to watching the year increment. It's also super useful if you wake up f
