Notepad++ Now Works Better on Windows 11
Microsoft could have gone this route for adding Acrylic/Mica to the context menu, but no, in classic fashion they had to overdo something new and half-ass it at the same time.

Super slow & laggy context menu (Windows 11 22H2)
You can still restore the old context menu via registry hack, and if you want to keep the acrylic aesthetic you can use acrylic menus, startallback (paid but has a 100 day free trial and it has many many other features) and Nilesoft Shell (it requires you to read the documentation to customize it though, so not that user friendly but it looks the best out of the three imo)

Anyone lose all custom context menu for folder after update? For example I had to reinstall VS Code to have Open with VS Code back
It can be better with this app: https://github.com/krlvm/AcrylicMenus
- make old taskbar translucent

A program to make win32 context menus follow acrylic. Seems like someone thought fine, I'll do it myself.

My TV started playing a video in full screen by itself. What happened?
My dad's old Sanyo from early 90's did have brightness control buttons.

I have a few extra buttons on my gayming keyboard that I pretty much never use, so I assigned three of them to a script that uses the above app to change brightness between 30/50/100.

LG Compantion App "is not on the same subnet as the PC." Issues?
I am attempting to set up the LG TVCompanion app (github here) after entering the MAC/IP/Device Id etc. I attempt to hit the "Apply" button and am getting this error linked here. I have no idea what to do..?

[LG C3 42"] My short review for coding use, some slowmo videos and photos of text clarity at 125% scaling of the WOLED + text, also some scrolling at 120 Hz.
u/Xurxor https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion/releases/tag/v3.1.5 testing the app to auto shutoff and starts the screen over the network (my tv is via WIFI)

LG C3 Evo vs Asus PG42UQ
One of the really nice things about the C2 is way, way more people own one, and that means the community is big enough that it has solved its own issues. Literally every issue you can think of has a solution. For example they've built an app (https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion) that handles turning it on and off for you to match your PC's state. And even better, as someone who frequently streams games from my PC to my Nvidia shield in the living room, the app has a check box that allows it to shut my PC screen off while still telling the computer that an HDR connected device is attached which allows me to avoid unnecessary runtime (and eventual burn-in) on the pc monitor when i'm not actually looking at it while streaming. The only way to do that with an the ASUS monitor is to buy a dongle that tricks your PC into thinking it's another display and switch to that when you're streaming which would be totally janky.

Is it acceptable to use a good tv in place of a monitor?
There is software for LG TVs that does that pretty well: https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion
