I'm watching The Office (USA) on Netflix and just yesterday Andy played that instrument that your nephew is playing 
Your nephew is a lot better than Andy though 
It reminds me a bit of the Civilization III soundtrack, I wouldn't be surprised if it featured that same guitar-thing.
Good stuff, all in all.

Orbit Culture is one that frequently shows up in my recommendations.
Listened to them a couple of times as well.
Not as good as Fallujah or Rivers of Nihil, but pretty sweet nonetheless

Here's a decent assortment of a different type of music as background to another type of artistic endeavor: Spring 3D - FlyCat

Or it could have been rouge rats...
I wonder how many took 'rogue' as the anagram indicator and tried to make something of STARPROXY.

I tried both ROUGE STAR and STAR PROXY but didn't get anything from either

Was browsing some messages in here just now, and suddenly the page navigated "all by itself". Not too sure what I did, but I did it again; and it navigated again all by itself.
Eventually I noticed that there was a brief blue arrow showing on screen pointing left.
Turns out that if I "swipe left" on my mouse keypad with two fingers at the edge of the Chrome window, it navigates "Back"; similarly if I "swipe right" with two fingers at the right edge, it navigates "Forward". Don't know if this is a Win10 or a Chrome thing.
I'm sure this is something everyone here uses multiple times a minute, but it's new to me. As someone who doesn't use a smartphone this is hardly intuitive. Been using Win10 for years now and only just discovered it.

It doesn't work with mousepads on my surface ...

I am not entirely sure but I think it must be supported by the hardware as a two/three finger swipe/pinch/other gesture. The hardware communicates the action to the driver in the OS. If the hardware does not support it, either nothing will happen even if the OS and drivers support it or a single click will occur.
Your surface (I suppose it is running windows 10 or 11) clearly supports gestures but your mousepad probably does not. The mousepad probably only supports single finger input.

Single finger swipes on my XPS13 touch screen will do this in Windows 10 v21H2 Edge.

"Intuitive" seems to have left the world of UI a while back with most computer based systems , because there used to need to be some sort of real world analogue for something to be intuitive - but now intuition is based on analogues to computer operating systems(abstracting abstractions).
There are plenty of other gestures on mobile devices like 3 fingers on the screen for taking a screenshot etc.(including shaking the phone twice for the light or twisting it twice to bring open the camera app)

craving for power, this morning I ordered a toy for myself on eBay: Dell Precision T5810 workstation with 6-Core /3.5ghz/ 16gb/ ddr4/ 256gb.

No offense, but what is that thing replacing?

it will be used for my data mining application(only one) to run all day long.

While this doesn't in any way answer the specific question I asked, it does provide some insight as to why a system with so (comparatively) little RAM or storage space is perfectly acceptable for its intended use.
Cool.

I paid $400 only, it has a coprocessor:xeon phi coprocessor 3120p.
this coprocessor price tag is still $120 currently.
