Setting the update policy to N-2 (or any other configuration) would not have avoided the issue. The Falcon sensor itself wasn’t updated, which is what the update policy controls. As it turns out, you cannot control the content channel updates - you simply always get the updates.

I rate Climate Town, always funny as fuck while covering so much ground and information.

My bad, just noticed you asked for Windows, this is MacOS.

Rectangle - just a simple and reliable MacOS window manager. They do have a paid version which gives you a few extra features, but I used the free one for a long time before buying to support and get access to one of the paid features.

Very small quality of life increase, but I got the Scrub Daddy Soap Daddy. Makes life a bit easier and tidier for cleaning up in the kitchen.

I rate Rectangle - I bought Pro as well to support the developer and get the hot key to snap multiple apps to a specific layout.

Search engine or browser? For browsers I’ll use Firefox, but if I’m logging into anything I’ll usually use Chrome or Safari. I’ll also use Tor browser sometimes.

On the search engine side, I’ll generally use DuckDuckGo but I’m trying out Kagi to see if it’s worth paying for.

I’ve read that it turned out to be a nothing burger primarily because there was a concerted effort to address the problem. That said, yeah, nothing melted down so functionally there was no issue.
