The picture is typical of UK bins where different types of bin are collected on specific days.

Here's this morning's partial solar eclipse, seen through one side of a pair of binoculars with a yellow filter.

Even with a filter the projected image was dazzling. The eclipse is over now but don't look at the sun directly or through anything not designed for solar viewing.

Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.

"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".

You're welcome. Please boost for others.

Oops. The trusty Weller and a heat-shrink kit to the rescue.
Asking for a friend ...
@Nixie Cool? More sci-fi military-industrial complex design but each to their own. Wayland-Yutani external disk drive anyone?

@LewisWorkshop "Thunderbird?"

I've used it for many years. Occasional annoyances pop up but it's generally good. Note that it's only a mail client (well, only mail/RSS/usenet/calendar client). It doesn't provide a mail server account so you'll need one of those as well. Gmail provides both in a single package.

WHY NOONE EVER EXPLAINED THIS TO ME!?!?!?!?
