#Windows11's new #StickyNotes app (a thinly disguised #OneNote) is fucking annoying. Since it is so-called "smart", and it attempts to provide context around the "source" of your note, its window is…

Windows 11 sticky notes app showing a note I just made. It captured the fact that before switching TO it, I was working in a browser window.
If I tab AWAY, unless I blow it open to its own little subwindow, the note itself closes (which I guess is reasonable). And for some reason the "+Note" and "Screenshot" buttons now appear. The addition of these buttons now shifts my list of notes down, visually disruptive.
If I tab to another application (or back to a browser as here), that "Recent notes" label changes to "Your notes from <Vivaldi icon> <name of webpage> - Vivaldi". Which is yet ANOTHER visual disruption out of the corner of my eye.
And there's a setting called "Remember the source: Automatically capture the active window information to help you remember better." with a checkbox. If you uncheck this box, the stupid label change remains, all that stops is where the top of your note has a snip of `Source: <what window you had open>`. The visual disruption of that label changing, and having the +Note/Screenshot buttons appear and disappear all the time is annoying AF.

The number of people who were there that actually remember this might be quite small.

Dismantling the sawmill motor to investigate an ignition failure. Changing the spark plug didn't help. It could be the HT lead but my local small engine guru says probably the coil.
Getting to the coil requires dismantling a whole lot of stuff...

Motor with the recoil starter removed. To the left of the motor is the carburettor, below which is a red lever which operates both the fuel tap and the stop switch, which operates by shorting the coil. Unfortunately the coil itself is inside the black cover, roughly behind the red lever...
Detail removing the carburettor, so that I remember how the return spring reconnects.
To remove the black cover, I had to take off the air cleaner, the carburettor, the exhaust, a heat shield, and loosen the fuel tank. I've only lost one bolt down inside the motor so far! In this picture the coil is visible just inside the opened black cover.

@… Remember we were talking about this a few days ago? "[The report] notes that 170 candidates received in total almost £2m more than they were legally allowed to spend locally during the [2024] election, raising questions about where the surplus funds went after the campaign. The donors who funded them are also tricky to identify, especially if the candid…

I rarely share anything behind a paywall, but I'll make an exception for this obit for William Langewiesche. His writing was second to none. I read his father's Stick and Rudder as a ten-year-old (or so) and top-notch writing appears to have been a family trait. We've lost one of the best.
