  • Same happened to my partner and I 2 weeks ago. It started with fever and chills Friday night, tested positive Saturday, started Paxlovid Sunday, fever broke by Monday morning and felt okayish enough to work (from home) on Tuesday. That weekend was a blur and we both still have a gnarly lingering cough, but not the worst thing in the world, even as someone with asthma.

    I’m thankful to have avoided it for as long as we did. Not having to worry about overflowing hospitals, having access to Paxlovid, and hopefully avoiding any serious long-term damage thanks to the vaccines makes it a lot less scary than a couple years ago.








  • Thanks for the list, found a couple I didn’t know of that look helpful! Couple more suggestions:

    • WizTree is another good disk usage tool, as an alternative to Filelight. I think it’s visually closer to windirstat, but so much faster I can’t honestly remember.
    • EarTrumpet is a better volume control app for the systray. I hide the default sound icon and set this to always show.
    • ExplorerPatcher lets you revert some annoying Windows 11 behaviors, like disallowing vertical taskbars
