I installed Windows 11 and Visual Studio 2022 on my Mac Mini M2 and it works like a bloody charm. It's not as fast as my main Windows development machines, but it's 100% functional and operational. Bonus: I'm running Little S

You can pry Windows 7 from my cold, dead hands. As long as ESET NOD32 is still being updated, and as long as the half-dozen applications and tools I use on my two desktop machines still works, I will keep using it. And please, no specious r

I have the same kinds of problems with Microsoft Teams. In my case the audio is often garbled and unintelligible, lots of dropouts due to multiple people speaking at the same time, and even on a good day it sounds like everyone is meeting i

Not lightweight, but I've fallen in love with MusicBee ( https://getmusicbee.com/ ) and it's been my only music player for at least the last 10 years. Love everything about it.

Keyword search without SEO trash is EXACTLY what I want, and Marginalia sounds like it might fit the bill. Looking forward to seeing how well it performs over the next couple of weeks!

I recommend "Word Freak" by Stefan Fatsis if you're looking for a non-fiction novel about the world of competitive Scrabble. It's one of the most entertaining and well-written books I've ever read. Almost impossible

As long as Google doesn't have keyword search it's useless to me. Bring back quotes around a series of words, with an exact match. Bring back +WORD and -WORD to include exact matches and exclude exact matches that I am _not_ inte

I was paid to throw COBOL in the late 1970's, and I would bag fries before I'd do it again. RPG2 was fun, TUTLY was ... interesting. COBOL? Never again.

Life 50 or 100 years ago was a lot harsher than it is now. We have better medicine, better food and diet, better living conditions (more white collar vs. blue collar jobs, better life balance vs. all work no play, etc.) It isn't perfec
