After upgrading to Oxygen OS 12 The “Quick device connect” service started nagging me for permissions as soon as I upgraded to OxygenOS 12: [Wayback/Archive] What exactly is “Quick device connect”, and is it secure? : oneplus.
Hardly any information on it except truckloads of messages of battery draining for which you can either upgrade it and if that still fails, disable it completely:

In the continuing series of Chocolatey/Scoop/winget related posts, this one is about Windows Terminal.
There are basically two ultimate sources you can install it from:
winget install --id 9N0DX20HK701 --source msstore --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --silentwinget install --id=Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -echoco upgrade microsoft-windows-terminalYou can configure the Microsoft Store to automatically install updates as per [Wayback/Archive] Turn on automatic app updates (on my system this was the default):
Microsoft Store – Auto-Updates is turned on by default
As a backgrounder, here some articles on Windows Terminal, ConPTY and the Windows Console from the [Wayback/Archive] DevBlogs – Microsoft Developer Blogs:

A while ago, I learned that MacOS has had a Unicode Hex Input keyboard since ages.
It is not installed by default, so you have to manually add it:
System Preferences.appKeyboard iconInput Sources tab+) iconUnicode Hex Input is the only entry in the listAdd buttonKeyboard tabNow in the menu bar, you can select the Unicode Hex Input.
After that, when holding the Option key, any 4-digit Unicode sequence will get you a Unicode character.

Quite often while saving a URL in the WayBack Machine, the response often is headed “Sorry” with non-descriptive “Job failed”.
In the background however, at least half of those times the job actually succeeded.
Some periodes that success rate was way lower as the archival job didn’t start with a GET request. The workaround was to use a POST request, see I want to check out how to do POST requests using bookmarklets in order to save URLs to the WayBack machine and [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Does anyone why the @waybackmachine has a lot of job failed and 404 errors over the last few days? … and … just returned a 404; most of my archivals the last few days failed or had to be retried at least half a dozen times to succeed. …” / Twitter
The error message in both “Job failed” cases is the same, so it makes sense to differ between the first case (job started and complete, but web interface failed to get that) and the latter (job didn’t even start) by doing the below URL replacement with a bookmarklet:
