Ctrl-Windows-V pops up the audio device selector. Now THAT's a useful shortcut.

Well, this post is entirely written on the Meta Quest 3. I cannot overstate how cool this tech is. And it will be even cooler when I get my prescription lenses in the mail.

Written on a virtual keyboard with similar speed as my phone keyboard an with a tad better accuracy!

This is the definite reason WHY Microsoft needs to hire a linguist to handle translations.

Why would Primary DNS and Secondary DNS be translated as "Rather DNS" and "Another DNS" ?

Because that's how it's translated.

And this is really just the tip of the iceberg.

PLEASE pull some strings or Windows ends up looking like a bad version of TEMU.

This is OpenSuSE Tumbleweed. It's AD joined and running Edge and has a .NET 8.0 development and runtime setup with Visual Studio Code.

It's an old Thinkpad Yoga dual-core.

Just sayin'.

This is a GamerNexus chat on the state of the Windows UX under the topic "Microsoft is killing Windows". It's interesting food for thought.

Thought @JenMsft might be interested.

Going through the DOS archive at Archive.org, searching for bits and bytes for my PPC640. Was setting some filters to limit the number of results, when...

Anything we need to know about the REAL founding date of Microsoft and the origins of DOS? @shanselman @JenMsft

Upgraded my phone to S24 Ultra - and was going to try Microsoft Hyperlapse Mobile which I had on my Note9 - but it says "Not compatible". Anyone care to give the author a friendly nudge-nudge wink-wink wiggle-wiggle ? @shanselman

I'm setting up my son's belated Yule-gift, a desktop PC. And one of the things he's learning at age 8 in school is video making and stop motion. So, I install a stop motion studio and then I wanted to install a video editor - and obviously, as I have M365, I chose ClipChamp.

Well deleted! This is my error. "Clipchamp is not available to you due to age restrictions in your country or area"

@shanselman @JenMsft - who can I pester to know why there's an age restriction on a video editor?

One Windows update question

If I have disabled "Get the latest updates when they are offered", should I then be getting "Update Preview" ?

An update to Windows 11 disabled my WSL. Deliberate for some reason, or is my computer just due for a complete reinstall ? 🤔
