Did you know someone reverse-engineered the Weather Channel computer system from the 80s/90s and now you can generate your own private weather channel for your location? weatherstar.netbymatt.com
Travel Forecast for Thursday as generated by the Weather Star 4000+ emulator. At the bottom my humidity of 7% and dew point of 21°F.

The design of MSIX has real consequences: by deprecating the MSRDC *MSI* installer in favor of the Windows App *MSIX*, we lose the ability to call msrdc.exe or load rdclientax.dll directly. The workaround is to copy the files to a temporary location, but then what's the point of MSIX?

Putting feelers out - if I were to remake the original Epcot entrance fountain model for another limited run (improved tech & production) would you buy one? These lit up and cycled through colors just like the real original fountain. Would you buy one and what would you pay?
