I just signed into Windows and Edge appeared with a small message box saying "Microsoft Edge now starts automatically when you sign into Windows!"
Gee, thanks....I think.
Will they stop at nothing to force us to use Edge?

I got that update some time ago...it looks like malware...a floating search bar on your main screen. I haven't used the new 'feature' yet, still preferring to search with Google. For now, I just dismiss it, but it does have an option to disable/turn off.
Pretty soon, it will be integrated into your Windows Co-Pilot.

Agreed. And down the road, we'll have anti-trust lawsuits brought against companies that try to lock you into their version of ChatGPT, or Co-Pilot, or Assistant.

It's part of the push by Microsoft to embed their digital assistant into the system. The MS DA uses Bing, which in turn uses Edge for the interface. And yes, go into Edge's settings and you can turn this crap off.

Thanks for that nifty factoid about Msft.

You can turn this off by going into Edge's settings and selecting the System and performance menu item. It's the very first toggle on this page.

After the first guess it was "OoooooK, let's run thru the list."
Fortunately, I ran of out of viable words before I ran out of chances.
At least, I don't think there was another valid word from my remaining letters.

I just spent of most of the day pulling my hair out wondering why my SPI data was bad coming from my MCU.
Screen wasn't displaying.
So I plug in my Saleae 8 pro (they are flawless right?) and get all kinds of craziness. It was SPI-ish the same way Kraft Singles are Cheese-ish - you knew what it was trying to be, but no. Just, no.
Turned my sample rate from 500MS/s to 100MS/s on my analyzer and presto - in comes the SPI stream, and I know the codes to write a bitmap to a region of the display by heart. Sure enough it was coming through.
The whole time things weren't working because I just needed to invert my reset and dc lines and pull them high. It's hard to figure out the orientation of the pins with respect to their function given zOS allows you to invert them so I wasn't sure.
But the SPI data coming in bad, that red herring took me for a day of time i'll never get back.
Support issue opened with Saleae now.

I haven't dealt with them lately but they are fantastic and very willing to help.
I bought one when they were pretty new and I've used it for many years, it's a life saver!

Their support is fantastic, and this is the first time I've had a problem with one that wasn't down to a skill issue (so far)
Although in my defense, who the hell would think you can't plug your analyzer into a USB3 hub?
You can't. It won't see it. It's a known issue. That was my skill issue though - not knowing. They were really nice about it of course, and you never have to wait to talk to someone.
Hell I was about to open a ticket, and a live person started chatting me up before i could finish.

I looked over my old emails and found that I bought the " Logic 8-channel USB Logic Analyzer" back in Jan. 2012.
I built a new computer earlier this year and it didn't recognize the device so I put in a ticket in Mar. of this year. A live person responded to the ticket and the problem was resolved in a short time.
Yeah like I told the Saleae person, "It's the most important tool I own".

I am confused about cause and effect.
1. invert reset and dc lines and pull them high
2. changed sample rate from 500MS/s to 100MS/s fixes problem
Saleae 8 Pro according to web searches is primo logic analyzer
