Your children want to know where you keep the keys to the house and the combination to the safe. 
Not fatal. Been running it and VS 2022 in a VM. Slower than 10 but that will go away. Like any interface changes, I want to puke at them at first site but I can get used to almost anything. Wow, love the shiny new icons!
Also running the developer eval in a VM and it is OK.
My base is Linux but I am not a zealot, just a preference. SSD's are so cheap, I don't understand why folks don't trial that way.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Now that you say it.. I have Windows Sandbox running Windows 11 inside my new Windows 11! Windowsception! 
(Could I run Windows Sandbox in Windows Sandbox?)
And .. I am still alive! Just like you predicted!

TADA!
Be careful with the sandboxes, don't get yourself into infinite decreasing concentric circles.

Doubling battery life? What (sorcery) tablet is this?

Lenovo yoga
When I was using as my note table during our weekly D&D & CoC afternoon, it ended up with like 20% left after 8 hours.
On Windows 11 it ends up at 65%. Yeah!

I think my battery life would also reach miraculous levels with W11. Simply because I would not use it very much.
After recently installing Linux, Windows is almost completely retired now and only used once in a while for games.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I have always been interested in history - all history - be it the Chinese dynasties or European histories. Recently my eldest daughter decided we need to watch "The Last Kingdom" on Netflix. But we did not have a Netflix account. So she bought us a year's subscription on the understanding that we will watch "The Last Kingdom".
What a great show! We just finished season 1 and now we know about Alfred the Great, the king of Wessex. And we know where Wessex was. We know about the battles against the Danes (Vikings).
Something I am still curious about is the Saxon invasion of England. Did the German Saxons really invade England? Did they drive the Welsh into Wales as the patriotic songs from lower Saxony in Germany seem to suggest? I wonder!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Thanks for the tip! I know what to watch next now!

Most modern historians do not believe it was an invasion, per se, but rather a surge of armed settlers spread over considerable time, who were eventually assimilated into the resident population.

Very interesting! Listening to it now. Many thanks!
By the way: It streams perfectly to the USA.

No. As far as I know, they came as hired goons and were loyal to the death. As long as the guys who hired them kept their end of the bargain. If not, no matter why, things very quickly got violent.

Yep. And they would not have been satisfied with that if things had gone according to their plans.
"If we had not won the war, we would all be speaking German now." Far too late. That already happened more than a thousand years ago.

I've been struggling for days to get my parallel display working.
I even gave up on it and deleted the code in frustration.
I rewrote it today, and once I got it compiling it worked the FIRST TIME.
This is no joke because it's like this
ili9341 driver -> generic display driver code -> raw 8 bit parallel software driver -> display
And all of it had to work in order for anything to show up at all.
Who's a superstar?

Nice, I just gave you beer in celebration of that impossibility
Oh no, what have I done? I'm 16, so I'm underage...

Sorry guys gotta run!!!

That's not what the FBI does.

Awesome!
It's been maybe 20 years since I had a significant chunk of code work the first time, and that was because it was so painful to set up our test environment that I would carefully inspect my code before checking it in, untested. It occasionally bit me in the butt, but we had source code patching 40 years ago, so it was only a big deal to chronic whiners. Nowadays, it's so easy to debug that I've gotten sloppy!

Doesn't that feel good.
Especially with a rewrite in anger.
|
|

|

Ha the good old rewrite from scratch trick!
Works quite well once you know the problem well, which you did!
Congratulations!

It is not an article. At best, it is a tip. If you want to see an article to compare yours against, read any of OriginalGriff's works, or Sergey Kryukov's works, or many others.
At most, your writing is a tip on a fun way to play with the 'Turtle' in python. You assume your readers know what the 'Turtle' is, which is not the case. You don't describe what the code does - it is more of a code dump. The writing could be greatly improved by giving a little background on the turtle, showing pictures of it and what your code does to it. It could also benefit from a better overview of what you learned during the creation of the code, and how it introduced you to Python programming.
Best wishes improving it, and creating more fun content!

Okay, thanks. I will fix that later. Don't know why I didn't think of that.
