  Used Winget to update to latest JFW. Its a bit of a shame it downloads the offline package, but good that the upgrade just happened in the background without any fuss or install windows popping up.

  Has anyone used a mini PC from somewhere like BLink as their main daily driver? I am thinking of replacing an all in one machine with a monitor with integrated KVM switch and a mini PC. I need the KVM switch as I use several client laptops on the same desk.

  Went to vote today. Shame they didn't have the new equipment that makes it easier for blind people to vote independantly. I knew that wouldn't be available here before I went to vote but still.

  We live in a mad world. Was scrolling through videos on Facebook as you do, and came across some AI clickbait video. Nothing unusual in that, but this one was voiced by Timothy Bentinck. Bet he didn't sanction that one.

  That one makes me want to use Win11 Pro on my personal devices with EntraID authentication. Not sure if I would need to upgrade the EntraID plan as I'm on free at the moment, lets see if they can bring this to the personal ecosystem as well. At work we've just all been issued Ubikeys for a similar purpose.

  Only found this out recently that my issues with FastSM was because I was rocking a clean install of Win11 that had Smart App Control enabled and it was blocking me. After disabling Smart App Control its all running fine, but this is a one-way operation which requires a reinstall of the OS to get it back should you want to.
