"Microsoft might well want you to keep using Microsoft Edge but however good it might be you’re perfectly within your rights to use something else. And having Edge pushed on you can get tiresome.
Removing it isn’t straightforward, neither is making sure it doesn’t come back."
It... comes back?
It's bongos to me that no major operating system lets me decide what programs I want on my computer.

Mastodon FeedEuropean cities always look much nicer than British ones. No wonder we are so miserable all the time.
Mastodon Feed"If your time off is not in whole hours, please note that the decimals are 1/100 of an hour and not minutes.
E.g: 1 hour and 15 minutes is 1,25 hours.
Here you can find a help to count minutes as 1/100 of an hour."
How do you put that in instead of fixing the UI.

Mastodon FeedIt's not just the domain, which makes me wonder what they were thinking, but also, just look at it.
Why would the real MS use my default serif font.
Nobody and nothing does that, certainly not a megacorp with custom fonts and a brand to protect.
Mastodon FeedBoth the domain name itself (haha, the real one is microsoft.com, can't fool me) and the amateurish look of the login page, which uses my default browser font, instead of an MS font.
Mastodon FeedEvery time I end up on microsoftonline.com I think it's a phishing site.

How to decode the Voyager 1 signal - https://destevez.net/2021/09/decoding-voyager-1/
An interesting article focusing on using python and GNU Radio to decode a recording in which Voyager 1 transmissions are included. A great look into modulation techniques and data transmission protocols. It still amazes me that we can receive data from the Voyagers after travelling so far. This is why I ended up studying electronic communications.
