Fun little side fact. That first video with the Shining parody is what inspired VSauce to start making YouTube videos.

As I understand it, LJ gave another developer his blessing to take a stab at Sync for iOS (I imagine with some sort of financial arrangement) but development had been very slow, and it never left TestFlight.

Furthermore, apps using the unicode versions of functions (which all apps should be doing for a couple decades now) have 32kb maximum character length paths.

The book that contains the story Arrival is based on, Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang, is my favorite short story collection.

Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House is also a good short story collection.

People have reported it working but @ljdawson has warned against using old backups so make sure you make a fresh backup to import from.

Masters of Doom is an amazing book about id's history. Not like, "good for a video game book". A legitimately good book for anyone.

Thingiverse was stagnant and underdeveloped for many years and borderline unusable at times, so a lot of people feel pretty strongly about migrating to other sites.

If you're talking about the more limited set of options you get when you right click a file in Windows 11, just hold shift while right clicking to get the original options. You've actually been able to hold shift to get additional options going way back, I think to windows XP.

There's a lot of extra useful options in there too like opening command prompts to the current folder and copying file paths to the clipboard.

Microsoft is adding extensive archive format support (using libarchive) to Windows 11. I'd like to thank 7-zip for its service over the decades, though.
