  • netwake

    Simple Wake-on-LAN utility for Windows – all the way up from 3.11, plus a CLI

    • I wrote one to try. It also uses runtime feature detection to enable modern stuff like theming and high-DPI on Windows version that support it.

  • WSL

    Issues found on WSL

    • I genuinely hadn't realized IPv6 wasn't accessible at all from Windows, but [you're right](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4518).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • D3D11On12

    The Direct3D11-On-12 mapping layer

    • Intel's boards really only support DX12, which streamlines much of the compatibility work they'd have to do. Earlier DX versions are handled with wrapper libraries/drivers that translate to DX12 (eg https://github.com/microsoft/D3D11On12).
