Fellow macOS users do you use any app that "centers" windows? I've been thinking about Rectangle Pro for a while.

The vulnerability at issue has been exploited for months already, and it’s time for a broader awareness of the threat. The short version is that everything you thought you knew about the security of the internal network behind your Internet router probably is now dangerously out of date.

I am loving ARC Raiders. Risk/reward. I've had a couple sketchy returns where I was so close to not making it. I haven't had this much fun in a game in a while.
In other depressing IoT news, iRobot, the maker of the popular Roomba vacuums, files for bankruptcy and sells itself to Chinese company. Hello cameras and mics in bajillions of homes.
