I love that the best way to fix cast iron is to cook bacon.

Truly DIY- I could ship you a chunk of copper and some plastic pellets, if you need it in a 'kit' form I could include IKEA-style instructions if you want?

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

There's a whole range of DIY, from just swapping out keycaps, to designing, manufacturing, and hand-wiring from the ground up.

• What out of the box functionality are you missing? As for search, from context I'm going to assume you are not being sarcastic. Windows search has to be the single worst search I've ever fucking encountered. Say I made a picture of a bird. I called it bird.jpg, and saved it in my pictures folder. Now, I type 'bird' into explorer search, and it gives me a fucking DLL FILE called matrixRRT.dll. I waited literal minutes for this? Literally the advice on all over the internet for making windows search better is to use something else instead.

*Agreed, window snapping is better in Windows.

*It's been a hot minute since I used anything other than Expose to choose which window I want (Which is great, btw) but don't you just click and hold on the dock icon?

*Agreed, more troubleshooting on startup would be handy. But to be fair, I've had way more startup issues with my windows box than my Mac. In fact, the last Mac startup issue I think I had would have been about six years ago. Whereas I've probably had six in the last year alone on the Windows machine. Sample size of one, of course. shrug

*Have you met my good friend, the command line?

Are you saying you couldn't get the home folder to open? Or you couldn't locate the folder?

Isn't it just the in the shortcut pane, the username with the picture of a house? To you try to open the 'go' menu and select 'home'?

Should I not be cooking anything tomato based with my cast iron?

This isn't so much a vision for the future, as it's an option right now.

I can't wait until work puts in car chargers- Top off the battery for free during the day, come home and sell that juice back to the grid, baby!

It may or may not be a string.

I'm interested in your comment about perceptions, could you unpack that a little more?

Colour of Magic is the first Discworld, and one of Pratchett's first novels. He grew into his voice a lot more over the course of the next fifty-something novels.

Most of the strongest, most unique women I've read have been of Pratchett's creation. And not just heroes that happen to be described as female, but fully fleshed out women ranging from feminists who wish to support their husband to trans females pretending to be males dressing as women in order to fight the patriarchy.

If you're willing to give the Discworld another go, and I urge you to, there's a couple of reading order guides online. 'Guards, Guards!' is generally recommended as a good starting point, but I'd also suggest Wyrd Sisters, Mort, Going Postal, or if you really want to dive into the gender thing, Equal Rites or Monstrous Regiment.

I'm struggling to understand. I'm imagining an Apple Surface, is that what you are thinking?

If I wanted to access my Jellyfin at home from a smart TV elsewhere, is that possible (securely)? Or would I need something that can run a vpn?
