Family (well 3/4 of us) traveled to Staunton for the day for lunch, some wandering, and chiefly to see an adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility” at the intimate Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, VA.
Fantastic performance. It’s a great story anyway, but this take on it added some humor. Never overdone, which is a difficult thing to do. Deserved standing ovation at the end. 👏
The move to Windows 11 isn’t just about security updates.
It increases dependence on Microsoft through aggressive cloud integration,
forcing users to adopt Microsoft accounts and services.
It also leads to higher costs due to subscription and licensing models,
and reduces control over how your computer works and how your data is managed.
Furthermore, new hardware requirements will render millions of perfectly good PCs obsolete.
This is a turning point.

The feeling when you find the root cause for a problem that has been bothering you for months. And it turns out to be fixable by adding a single letter. (To turn an "unsigned long" literal into an "unsigned long long" one.) (Actually I made it use the UINT64_C() macro from <cstdint>.)
Writing portable code is hard. And thanks, Windows, for keeping "long" as 32 bits even in 64-bit code.
