For the prototype of my project, I am using DreamCompute from DreamHost. I pay under $40 per month.
I'm using Rust with the actix_web crate to build out the API, packaging it in a Docker container, and using Nginx for routing and reverse proxying. MySql is the DB.
So far, so good.

MS's Snip & Sketch's 'New' snip button changes location depending upon how big your window is if you have a snip in it. Their UI people should be fired.
And if you use AutoHotKey to change window transparencies, Snip & Sketch somehow captures the control key and jumps to pure transparent rather than gradually transitioning, like the old Snipping tool used to do.
The old Snipping tool would open up after you snipped something, with the snip in it. But if you use the 'Windows' + 'Shift' + 'S' to get a snip, afterwards the Snip & Sketch tool doesn't open up with the snip in it. And if you did have the Snip & Sketch window opened, the snip you took doesn't get placed in that window! It is only in the clipboard.
I'm muttering the word "Idiots!" under my breath a lot today.

Myself, I prefer that the snipping tool doesn't pop up after getting my image on the clipboard. Usually I am just getting a screen image that I am adding to a document or bug report. And if I do need to annotate it first, I would rather do that in Paint.net instead.
I find though that (in Win 10 at least) I do get the notification popup that my image was snipped - if I then click the popup, the snipping app is opened.

I have to say I prefer the new way: WIN+SHIFT+S copies to the clipboard, with a clickable notification that opens it in the snip tool.
That way, I can paste it directly into what I want - PaintShop Pro say, for pixelation - or use Snip to quickly highlight one bit for pasting into an email or website, or to save it as a file.
And for me, the "New" button doesn't seem to be moving at all no matter how large the window. I'm on Win 11 21H2 (OS Build 22000.795), and Snipping Tool 11.2205.10.0

Maybe that's the difference. I've got Win 10, and MS seems to have said it will never support this chipset on 11, and it doesn't have a TPM chip, so... It is a middle-class gaming laptop from five or six years ago that still kicks butt to all the old systems I had.OriginalGriff wrote: the "New" button doesn't seem to be moving at all
Yay! they must have fired those UI people! On mine it actually moves from the top left of the screen to the bottom left. Effin' stupid!

Same.
What I really like, it is really easy to capture menus & tooltips that usually disappear when a form loses focus.

The old Snipping Tool can capture those things, you just set a delay and then after you click the New button, switch to your other window and open the menu that you want to capture, then it will grab the screen as it is after the delay.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

On top of all this idiocy, there's no way to create ovals or rectangles to highlight stuff.
|
|
|
|
|
Yup, there is
Click on the thumbnail in your Win 10 notifications, then you get a window that opens with Pen, Highlight and ruler tools allowing you to draw on and annotate the snipped image.
I do concur the tools provided are a bit lacking, for example adding text and pre-defined shapes would be helpful, but as it stands, free hand drawing with/without the ruler and highlighting work pretty well.

What is there snip tool, version 1 or 2?
We all know it takes Microsoft AT LEAST 3 versions to get out of beta!
I used to use Jing (best simple snip type tool, EVER), until TechSmith destroyed it,
and failed to properly replace it.
I use SnagIt. I don't have time to muck around with these things. Let me copy,
annotate, paste or paste a link and move on!
