Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

I forgot to turn off my pc yesterday, but I had Commands Origins paused. I have a brand spanking new gpu so I play some games now and then. I came into the office this morning like a freakin' sauna.

The average temperature in my office is 25 degrees.

Temperature this morning in my office was 29 degrees.
