Winget is the best thing added to the windows ecosystem in a long time. I just wish it worked out of the box on Server :(

This is an interesting observation, not really something I have considered. The key difference here is that you are the one in control of those customizations. Whether the customizations are useful or harmful is entirely up to the user, Kagi just gives you the option.
For me at least, the majority of my searches I just want the correct answer to a question or a link to a specific resource I'm looking for. I don't really use it as a content discovery engine. Being able to prioritize sites that I have found through experience to have reliable results and exclude sites that are uninformative or irritating is valuable.
It'll stay low impact until suddenly one day having a reliable post-quantum encryption scheme becomes rather important...
I'm kind of with you on most American produced documentaries being obnoxiously dramatic. I especially hate when they add sound effects to historical footage. The exception that comes to mind is Ken Burns, emotional but not dramatized the way a History or Discovery channel show is.
Maybe try some of Werner Herzog's documentary films? They definitely include music and are viewed through the directors artistic lens but they certainly meet your criteria of stylistically different.
Some people do it as a political statement. Blocking Israel is a real example I've seen.
Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don't get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!
Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy is probably the best known one. After Artemis Fowl which I re-read religiously as a teen, it's my most re-visited book.
The kind of original one is The Third World War by Sir General John Hackett, which is interesting but not really a thriller.
Then there's Team Yankee by Harold Coyle which is set in the world of Gen. Hackett's book but from a U.S. armored cavalry team commanders perspective.
Larry Bond's Cauldron differs from the usual NATO vs Warsaw Pact fare. Vortex and Red Phoenix by the same author are also great but not necessarily WW3 stories.
Oh I'd definitely second 12 Angry Men. I'd also add Dr. Strangelove
Arc Light by Eric Harry. I'm a big fan of cold war/WW3 novels and this one fits the bill. Most books in the genre kind of dance around nukes but Arc Light doesn't hold back. The sense of dread i've gotten from this book has been awesome.
It's definitely still useful and easier to do now too. SpaceX and Tesla both allegedly use it to catch leakers. It's usually done now with whitespace and/or invisible characters.
Neat! Ever tried tryhackme? I'm curious how the modules on htb compare.
Can I ask why chocolatey and not just installed via policy/company portal? I'm not our Intune guy so I don't know much about the limitations.
