Modern start menu search was designed to drive users toward Bing and give MS-favored results to users. It's hot garbage and has been for a while. So yeah, if you rely on as an IT pro it you probably aren't very technical.

You can launch any common inbox or Office app and most MMC panels from the Win-R menu. And most of them haven't changed since Windows 2000 / Office 95. Not being able to adapt and improve upon how you perform your job is sad.

It's been broken and slow as hell since Vista. So yes, when IT "professionals" haven't figured out other ways to run common programs by now, it hints at how remedial their skills are.

Have you had Culver's root beer? It's so good. It might be even better than A&W.

Win+R, wt, Enter

OR

Win-X, I

The start menu has sucked for a long time, but you don't have to use it. I cringe when I see other IT folks using its search feature to launch common apps.

At least they are improving the app list with a nice category view and removing the All Apps button (still in preview). That'll at least upgrade it from hot garbage to okayish.

I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it.

I'm really loving Octopi. Especially on the Fold since I can have multiple layouts. The stackable widgets are really nice too.

I mean, on a typewriter yeah. But otherwise, no.

I don't think many places encrypt/hash email addresses, but even if they did they could just apply the hash algorithm to what you entered to compare the hashes.

Nope. For Linux you'll want asusctl, maybe supergfxctl, and possibly some kernel modules.

Obligatory plug for G-Helper:

It's everything Armoury Crate should have been and not a drop more.

Same here. But it's the best MMO for taking breaks and most compatible with adult life.

I only play about 3-6 months out of the year lately and have taken multiple year+ breaks. It can be a bear getting back into it after 3-4 years staring at an inventory full of unrecognizable icons, but not remotely as bad as other MMOs.

And when you come back all of your gear is still relevant.
