Boy, I always to the Ctrl+Shift+Space on Microsoft Windows (or on MacOS Command+Shift+Space) detour to switch to the Terminal tab in Visual Studio Code
So I was amazed to find the shortcut inside the first bullet in the Google Search quote of the first result at [Wayback/Archive] vscode terminal open new terminal – Recherche Google:

Cool: [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @mariusheier on Thread Reader App – USB-A to USB-C. A @cursedconnector ? Or genius?
Image on the right is larger on [Wayback/Archive] Gdn-fwFW4AAao2D.jpg (964×772)
I think it is genius, as it is way shorter than what I found on sites like Amazon, ebay, Aliexpress and others.
For now I am using ones from Amazon that are a tad bit too long (thereby putting too much stress on the USB C output of my laptop), but they are charging only (no video capability): [Wayback/Archive] USB C Female to USB Male Adapter Pack of 3, Type A Power Supply Charger Cable Adapter for iPhone 11 12 13 Pro Max, SE, iPad Mini 6 Air 4 5, Apple Watch iWatch 7, Samsung Galaxy S20 S21 S22 Plus Ultra FE: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories (image below)
The one Marius posted about is also charging only, but shorter: [Wayback/Archive] 1-10PCS Type-C 3.1 Female to Double-sided USB Am Male Connector 2.0 Charging Version Adapter with PCB Board Inside – AliExpress
Compare with the picture of the Amazon one:

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] How to send raw network packets in Python with tun/tap
I never really played around with tun and tap, so this is a nice opportunity to do so. I know they were the base for VPN on Linux, but just now I learned TUN/TAP are not available on nx, but also on Windows. Cool!

Last week, I wrote that I switched to Visual Studio Code for most of my text based coding: Visual Studio Code: blazingly fast text expansion with Emmet.
I also use vscode for documentation and text writing, which – yes sometimes I am a copy/paste person too – means you want a bit more flexibility than just copying the selected text.
In most of my previous development tools, either the tool itself, or a plugin, would allow me to copy the word under the cursor if none was selected.
I wanted to change that behaviour too and become more flexible.
So I did some searches:

I unconsciously wanted a tool like this for a long time, and was glad I finally searched for it:
A keyboard logging and presentation utility for presentations, screencasts, and to help you become a better keyboard user.
[Wayback/Archive] Code52/carnac: A utility to give some insight into how you use your keyboard
The first time I saw something similar was in the Delphi days where it was part of a plugin for CodeRush in Delphi (think Delphi 5-6 era), the famous developer productivity tool by Mark Miller that later got rewritten for Visual Studio and became part of DevExpress.
So I searched for [Wayback/Archive] windows show keystrokes – Google Search which found [Wayback/Archive] How to show keystrokes on Windows 10 which in turn mentioned a fork of Carnac.
