Disable automatic installation of companion apps for drivers (you will almost never need them, and if you do, grab them from the MS Store.) (See ALT) arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

Screenshot of Windows Settings showing how to disable this "feature."

Navigate to Windows Setting >> System >> About (scroll down a bit to find the link text for) >> Advanced System Settings >> Hardware Tab >> Device Installation settings (button) >> Select NO (and ignore the warning that your device might not work as expected, 99.9% of the time it will be FINE without the bloatware.)

Then back out by clicking Save Changes, then OK, and close out the Settings window.

Pumpkin the orange cat, sitting on a short stack of pet towels, preventing their use... He knows why they are staged on the floor!

All I see is blue...

A color sample represents hex code #080085 as a fairly deep shade of blue.

Beautiful evening in Puget Sound.

Crowd forming in Downtown Park, in the background is Lake Washington with a tower in glass to the right.

Mt Tahoma in the distance under nearly clear skies, a hint of haze softening the view.

Thinking about the force vectors and imagine these two joints must be more robust than appearance might indicate. Dang cool!

Last 🐝 for today, not sure what these are called but there's a bunch on our lavender just going nuts.

Black and yellow bee partying on the lavender in our garden today.

There's something in the glass window near the deck inside the house....

Saturn the dark and white cat is looking out that window at the stray cat on our deck. She does NOT approve....

Why do strays always seem to know I'm a mark?

A stray black kitty cat has found a way station on its journey. It's not shy about it either.

Welp.... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Heavy-handed requirements – such as institutional quarantine for hantavirus or banning travelers from the DRC, Uganda and South Sudan, for instance - will likely lead to people evading the rules or not providing sufficient information about their activities, making it harder for public health officials to follow up on possible cases or contain outbreaks at the source, Hodge pointed out.

"The threat is not knowing cases that are actually out there, because we created a climate to which people would not self-report for this. That would be the biggest threat," Hodge said.

It also signals a dangerous "authoritarian" approach from top health officials, Hodge said - despite previous opposition from those leaders to unspecified “lockdowns” from the Covid pandemic.

I'm sorry...

Seth's photo, cropped and turned sideways. A set of dish antennas on a roof now look like the head, eyes of a preying mantis. She's very hungry and very large and is peeking out a hole in the roof next to a sideways chimney.
