I just cut a tiny piece of electrical tape to cover up a bright blue LED on the top of my new PC. Yea, I have lights all over the thing, but they can all be turned off -- except this blue power LED on the top of the case.
When I put the system to sleep the thing blinks and lights up the whole room. It's quite annoying. It was a choice between going in the case and unplugging the thing or just covering it with a tiny piece of electrical tape. I went with the less invasive solution.
This silly upgrade issue bit me tonight. With Windows 10 1903 update, having an external USB drive connected might cause issues.
For me, the update blue screened on the first boot. I didn't see this article before I went troubleshooting. I ended up unplugging my external storage and had to restart the update again after my system came back up.
Fun.

1) Watch less TV or 2) Watch more focused content or 3) piracy will rise again.
The best thing about the show The First is the soundtrack by Colin Stetson. But, for the longest time, the title track has bugged me because it sounded so similar to something else. I finally figured it out.
The First (Colin Stetson):

The beginning bits of the track are so very similar to What Are You Going TO Do When You Are Not Saving The World? (Hans ZImmer):

I have been working my way through the Hulu series The First. It's really not that great because it is sold as a sci-fi show about going to Mar, but is really a melodrama about dealing with drug addiction and all sorts of other personal issues. The Mars part is a minor part of the whole show, which is highly disappointing.

Watch the Flight Simulator announcement trailer! They're apparently using satellite imagery, and indeed it almost looks life-like:
