So, I have this Winforms ClickOnce prog that only I use but it gets used weekly for the last 10 years. I needed to make a couple of minor changes before then manually updating on the only 2 PCs that it will ever run on.
Now, as I couldn't remember what folder the current version was installed from, I decided to uninstall then do a fresh install - otherwise it would throw an error and tell me it must be updated from the original install folder. However, despite it having a nice shiny icon on my desktop, and the program working, it does not appear on Win 11's list of Installed Apps, so I couldn't uninstall it without having to get "involved" in things.
So, I turned off assembly signing then published and lo and behold, it then installed, on both machines, from a different folder to the original install folder. Both versions of the prog are available to use, should I need to revert back e.g. if I discover I have made a boo-boo in the new version.
Obviously not suitable for any "real world" software, but for something for personal use only, makes life a bit easier. Now just wondering why Win 11 shows some of my homemade apps in its list but not others ...

What was the robot thinking? It is unclear from video. Was it considering the finger as a chess piece or perhaps reached for the piece and missed it?
Without more details, I just see this as clickbait headline.

It was suggested (in another report) that the boy tried to move a piece before the robot (thought it) had actually completed its move. But as with most robots it cannot recognise certain situations.

Obviously it was thinking:
“I’ll teach the cocky little bugger who’s in charge here. “
"If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going"

And soon the company started marketing the product as child controller.

I was wondering if the kid was doing the "I still have my finger on the piece so I haven't REALLY finished my turn yet." thing and the robot got tired of waiting.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

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

Perhaps it sensed its impending loss and took action.

I was confused by the lack of "shop floor safety"; like having a child wander around an automobile assembly plant.

Reducing the effectiveness of the Oppressor is going to put a lot of griefers out of business (I hope), and being able to do sell missions in a session lacking morons will help.
Pity they didn't do anything about the modders though.
I have high hopes for this DLC: I'll be trying it in an hour so don't expect "normal service" from me for a short while ...

I suspect they might[1], but not necessarily include it as part of their release notes.
[1] not that it's gonna take the modders[2] more than 20 minutes to undo it all
[2] and I do mean those who reverse-engineer this stuff and write it, not the script kiddies on GTA who only know how to download some random EXE off some random web site (they hate it when I point that out, which invariably results in me getting kicked off their session...but...worth it)

How big's the update? I'm thinking I might power up my gaming rid this afternoon just to have it start fetching it so I'm not spending the whole evening waiting for that to happen...

According to the web the size differs, depending on the source (Steam/EPIC and so), but not less then 2.5 Gb...

Mine took less than 20 minutes, but that was via Epic and at "launch time" so it may be quicker now.
Not sure exactly how long - I went off to do other things and it was done when I got back.
