I can think of one cover that I prefer over the original: Nobody Does It Better[^] by David Sanborn featuring Oleta Adams doing the vocals, where the original[^] was performed by Carly Simon.
I really like Carly Simon, but Oleta nails that song.

I've been using it for years. You know, learn your short cuts? So Microsoft rolls out an update and it doesn't work any more. So I fix it. And it breaks again.
I'm cranky, I admit it. I have no kitchen, the sink is late, my bride wants her kitchen before Christmas. But FFS!!! did Microsoft just jettison QA?
It's getting worse... crap, I'm going to go find a Unix job needing a security clearance....

It works fine on my Surface (Win 11 21H2 22000.318)
And it works fine on my Desktop (Win 10 21H1 19043.1348)
I just tested it on both, so what update are you using?

The latest. Wait one. This is just so d*** funny it's hysterical.
Finally I remember the command to find the version. It's winver - so 21H1. I have no problem finding ads to update to what microsoft is pushing, but these clowns. There is no button or easy link to "what version is installed on your computer"? God help people who don't know as much as we do. I'm current. That elephanting update was a walking train wreck for me.
I'm sure there is some fix, but why do they make users suffer? Just do your job.

Doesn't work on my Surface 7 at least not with the virtual keyboard

Didn't try it with the virtual KB - it takes up too much screen real estate so I don't use it unless I have to.
Bear with me for a moment...

I had an update yesterday and it still works fine, does the same thing -- allows capturing a screenshot of a selected region.
What I don't like is that all the system sounds have changed.

I know! Grrr. Why would it matter? The OS update broke One Note and *I* need to fix this? Seriously, if you took your car into a shop for a brake job and all of your tires went flat....
Not angry at you fellow CPer's , but random stuff like this, I'm done giving a pass to Microsoft. I'd go out to the clown help forum, but their answers are so pathetic it's beyond expressing a professional opinion. I'd post a simian tossing things, but that's a bit crude. If anyone from MS reads this, I'm available for a free consultation. I'll give you 30 minutes. Best bring your big boy pants and hip waders. Bring the guy who decided rebooting machines without permission. Please.
The hot key sequence belongs to One Note. Last I heard, an MS product. If an OS update broke this, I want the video of the one note team pounding whoever broke it. FFS, it's a public interface (code wise). You don't to this.
Yeah, I'm bitching. I have no kitchen, my mother in law is ripping me a new one, and I don't know what's for dinner.
 <--- at me. Mother in law truth. Sorry CP, over 20 years, y'all have become family. I honestly mean that. I'll shut up now.
Y'all have a great weekend. In Atlanta, we're expecting 70 degree temperatures (21+ to you metric types). Major football games on and life will continue. And now that I replaced the driver from MS, my laptop runs now.
I'll get me coat.

No. Better not. I like to use that as an insult too much. Usually something like if that jelly had ended up in a pond, some people would be awesome frogs now.

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky[^]
A friend and I have been sharing music for the last two weeks.
One album within a specific theme each day.
We came up with the themes up front, put them in a jar, and simply grab a random one each day.
We've got 60's, autumn, chill, Dutch, music we know from our parents...
Now I had to think real hard in that last category as my parents rarely listen to music.
For some reason they stopped doing that after I was born (or maybe earlier, but they've got quite a collection from when they were younger).
Nevertheless I came up with an album that they listened to quite a lot, unfortunately my friend had the same album and I had to come up with a new one (really, what are the odds!?)
Ultimately, I went for Mike Oldfield, but my first choice was The Alan Parsons Project.
My parents had this best of CD that opened with an intro (Sirius) and then moved on to Eye in the Sky.
Needless to say, good memories, great song, SOTW

I wasn't even 10 at that time, but I remember this song surprisingly well.
I used to play with my father's turntable and cassette recorder, and build my own compilations, of whatever I could gather from my family's discs and those I could afford whenever I got some allowance. I'm pretty sure I would find that title in one of those boxes I stored and never went back to ever since.
Thanks for that nostalgic window

This was released long before I was even born 
I did the same with my parents CD's, but also with the radio, and I used a cassette recorder instead of turntables.
The first album I bought with my own allowance was something completely different though, Toy-Box[^]

You might like Apocalyptica: Apocalyptica - One (Plays Metallica By Four Cellos - A Live Performance) - YouTube[^]
Basically a metal band consisting of four cellists.
Started out by covering Metallica, but they've made their own songs since their second album (and since added drums and sometimes even vocals) and grew out to be one of the more popular metal bands of today.

Stupid cloud infrastructure, may a thousand elephants do their doo doos at your door. 
We haz a simple set up, SQL Server db, asp.net [5ish] server and a react Dog's Dangles front end.
We use Azure pipelines to build and deploy on Azure, where else, and all is good in the world. Each pr to main kicks off the build. 98.3% of builds are good; the others are mine.
As of Wednesday, builds go boom. All builds.
Even rebuilding previously working build go boom-boom.
Vilmos is sad; see the sad face -> 
We found the problem quickly - the version of npm has ticked over and no longer does the automagic duplicate dependencies to keep it creaking along.
I have now spent two days going through all the packages and (a) deleting the ones that are not referenced and (b) resolving dependency conflicts which required some code changes we weren't planning.
Yesterday's prod push is dead in the water and sure as heck there won't be one today.
That's it, that's the rant. Now get on with the CCC; I think the answer is LIQUID NITROGEN
