Altitude would be fun to see reborn. Hit 4-5k players at its peak on Steam. Now pretty much dead apart from dedicated league play.

It’s a 2D flight/arena game with a variety of game modes, aircraft to fly, weapons, perks, powerups etc. Very arcade.

• ✅ Fun
• ✅ Accessible (Win/Mac/Linux/Steam)
• ✅ All ages
• ✅ Casual (games last minutes, not hours)
• ✅ Not AAA
• ✅ Free
• ✅ Runs on potato

Only drawback according to the assignment:

• ❌ Not FOSS

I’ve stuck with iredmail for years. Spin up a VM, grab the installer, and see how it performs for you.

• oobe bypass.
• A post install script.

Alternatively, Tiny10

Teams can go fuck itself with a rock. We’ve taken licensing now that doesn’t include it.

Still holding on to classic outlook as long as possible. The new version/skin/glow-up can go share the aforementioned rock with teams. Where’s my VBA, where’s my ribbon customisations, and why must it be dumbed down to Fisher-Price levels of ‘user friendliness’?

A lot of my answers to user questions these days are ‘Because Microsoft ™️’.

Not that you should have to, but web results can be disabled in start search.

Winkey+R will open the no-frills run menu. As long as you know the exact exe or component name, you’re good:

• notepad
• calc
• cmd
• control
• control userpasswords2
• mstsc
• ncpa.cpl
• diskmgmt.msc
• devmgmt.msc
• shutdown (with /s, /r or /h switches)

A few decent ones there.

Cheers, appreciate it!

New thing to try then.

I bought the premium version of Poweramp years ago - it has done very well but I’m always open to options.

Samesies. Ex 13-year account and a Digg refugee before that. Very new here.

Got along for a while by running a zombie 3rd party app and decided to bail before they ruined that too.

Much to learn.
