Short read, very different to the movie that came out in the 2000. Set the stage for modern dystopian fiction. Mixed critical reception but I personally really enjoyed it.

Comment on Best new install steps for Windows 11 gaming PC? in ~tech
sum4 Link ParentYeah for sure test after using the tweaks, you can always revert them, I've had no issues with the recommended ones personally. Also handy to install a bunch of programs on a fresh install.Yeah for sure test after using the tweaks, you can always revert them, I've had no issues with the recommended ones personally.

Check it out on GitHub: Windows Utility
If you want to install it for free you'll need to use the command line to spin it up, but it's pretty straightforward, otherwise there is an exe.

I can’t quite pinpoint why, but maybe it’s the timeline shifts? The flashbacks seem to pull you out of the main plot.

Do you consider the person who manufactured the camera they're using to be involved in the content creation? Or the electrician who put in the power to the studio etc.
I guess technically but it's not quite the same question imo.
Interesting question however, wonder how many things we could do truly alone.

I love how it has reduced the frequency of checking my phone and just browsing my apps when I'm bored. Now I need to search for exactly what I want, screentime has gone down.
Tags also make folders obsolete so don't feel you lose any functionality to normal launcher other than widgets (while they do support it doesn't work as well for this launcher type imo).
One gripe is very occasionally it bugs out on my pixel 7, can't search & need to hard reset the launcher. It's rare but not great in a pinch/emergency etc.
I need to do a better job at documenting and submitting the bug but it's so rare so I have not managed to yet.

I had no idea how bad it was. Quality toys are few and far between.
Yeah I use this religiously between my Mac, windows and android devices.
Had a recent update that makes it far quicker for larger files also.
Would recommend!
