On macOS, you can actually raise just the window you want but its more key presses.

Cmd+Tab until the application you want is highlighted, then keep holding Cmd and press 1, you'll then be shown all open windows for that application (you can stop holding Cmd) now use arrow key to select the window you want and press enter. Only that window will be raised.

The cynics among us in Victoria believe the bid was just a state election stunt to woo rural voters that the government never intended to follow through with.

This https://krisp.ai/ works well to overcome background noise and conversations during meetings. It cleans up the audio you send and also the audio you receive. Not affiliated with them at all, just a satisfied customer.

OK upon actually reading the article it looks like they didn't include a timestamp - ouch.

An expired certificate should not cause that. I'd be very surprised if they did not have a cryptographic timestamp [1] on the driver signature. The presence of the timestamp allows the signature to be verified after the signing certificate has expired.

The Ethernet port on my Thinkpad workstation thunderbolt 3 dock simply stopped working after upgrading to Windows 11. From reading online its a known issue without any obvious fix. Killed the port so bad that it stopped working in Linux as well.

Well, at least that was until the dock had been unplugged from the power for a couple of weeks. The Ethernet port sprung back to life when I booted my laptop straight into Linux. I don't dare boot into Windows 11 again whilst docked.

This is a good win for Microsoft. Think of all the extra Windows ARM QA telemetry they will get which will improve the platform in the long run.

To see if ECC is working try overclocking the RAM if possible and looking for EDAC errors (they'll show up in dmesg) or from running edac-util. Eventually you should see something reported.

ZQ will quit without writing anything.

I have no idea why the Linux Teams application is so limited. Instead on Linux to get the missing features you can run browser based teams in Chrome or Edge. It supports window specific sharing. Can also do blurred and virtual webcam backgrounds (but does not support custom virtual background).

Sure is. On the top of the installation guide page you are directed to if you sign up for the beta:

"Chrome OS Flex is currently released for early access testing and is not suitable for production use. CloudReady is available for immediate stable deployment. Google will automatically update CloudReady devices to Chrome OS Flex, when Chrome OS Flex is stable. We welcome your feedback as we work to improve the product. Send feedback."

Have been using CloudReady for a couple of years on a Lenovo X201s used by the kids. Performance is excellent.

True. For a Hack as with Linux, using compatible hardware is the key. However once that configuration process is done (and done right) from then on its typically a rock solid experience until the next major Mac OS version upgrade. In some ways it is superior to an actual Mac since you have the ability to inject kexts without having to stuff around with reboot to recovery mode, disabling SIP to install and so on. OpenCore is an impressive piece of software.

Have also had a cooked laptop in the past (in my case it was a Mac). A few years later when using a Linux laptop I decided to disabled sleep entirely but left hibernation available instead [1]. This means that desktop environments will not show the sleep option at all, instead they will just show the hibernation option. Also I have the laptop set to automatically hibernate if it is running on battery power and the lid gets closed. Have also configured it to ignore any lid open events therefore it will only wake when the power button gets pressed. Waking from hibernation isn't quite as quick as from sleep but its not that bad and I've never had a cooked laptop again!
