As promised yesterday, I updated the scripts for Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs
Code (which broke at 20230914 because of WordPress.com changes: the undocumented HighlanderComments structure got removed; I will update the gist later on and post an updated blog post)
Instead of the undocumented HighlanderComments structure, I now use two (also undocumented) link rel elements.
In addition, I found this element that will be interesting in the future: <link rel='shortlink' href='https://wp.me/pvelJ-m8g' />.
You can view the change with the below archivals of the Wayback Machine and Archive.is.
And of course I learned a few things from these MDN entries:
The 20230530 archivals (Wayback/Archive) of wiert.me/2022/02/14/philosophy-of-management have this HighlanderComments structure:

This page has a truckload of information, but has a short index and few anchor targets: [Wayback/Archive] Using Fields in Microsoft Word – a Tutorial in the Intermediate Users’ Guide to Microsoft Word.
I found it doing these searches:
I needed them because I misread it at first and replaced { SAVEDATE \* MERGEFORMAT } with { SAVEDATE \* "dd-mm-yyyy" } which resulted in the field to become displayed as needed Error! Unknown switch argument.. and at first thought this might be a Windows versus MacOS thing.
Fixing the error with { SAVEDATE \@ "dd-mm-yyyy" }) almost solved the problem, as the actual format should be { SAVEDATE \@ "dd-MM-yyyy" } (which displays month number instead of minute number).
So I learned that Word date formatting is almost the same as Excel date formatting.
I was specifically looking for these bits (the first luckily has the #Charformat anchor and was immediately followed by the latter):

For my link archive so I can better automate archiving Tweet threads using bookmarklets written in JavaScript:
The base will likely be this:
javascript:void(open(`https://archive.is/?run=1&url=${encodeURIComponent(document.location)}`))
which for now I have modified into this:
javascript:void(open(`https://threadreaderapp.com/search?q=${document.location}`))
It works perfectly fine without URL encoding and demonstrates the JavaScript backtick feature for template literals for which you can find documentation at [WayBack/Archive] Template literals – JavaScript | MDN.

Ik vroeg @HermVerm (twitter) via DM wat een grote bijna zwarte roofvogel lijkend op een buizerd en in de buurt van Lisse plots tussen de bomen de weg overvloog zou kunnen zijn. Herman kwam met [Wayback/Archive] Waarom verschillen buizerds zo sterk in kleur? – rootsmagazine.nl
…
Erfelijk bepaald
Kleurvariaties, oftewel genetisch polymorfisme, komen bij 3,5 procent van de vogelsoorten voor en zijn erfelijk bepaald. Het overgrote deel van de buizerds is min of meer bruin. Zo’n 5 procent is (spier)wit, eenzelfde percentage zwart. De basis voor die kleurvariaties ligt in de hoeveelheid pigment: hoe meer melanine, hoe donkerder de buizerd.
…
Ik heb nu dus geleerd dat een buizerd ontzettend veel kleurvariaties van licht tot donker kan hebben.

Still need to investigate why every now and then Windows Remote Desktop causes this error:
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe has been blocked from modifying %userprofile%\Documents\ by Controlled Folder Access.

TL;DR
I have converted the below PowerShell one-liner into this batch file (the ^| syntax is to ensure the pipe runs within PowerShell, not within the batch file):
PowerShell 'Get-CimInstance -Namespace "Root\cimv2\mdm\dmmap" -ClassName "MDM_EnterpriseModernAppManagement_AppManagement01" ^| Invoke-CimMethod
-MethodName UpdateScanMethod'
The why and how
Since I am a CLI person, and some Windows applications are only available on the Microsoft Store, I wanted to be able to initiate an update cycle from the command-line interface.
So I searched for [Wayback/Archive] microsoft store update all apps from the command-line – Google Search and found these to be valuable:

Only having really learned to speak English starting in my late teens, I never got the “smarter than the average bear” reference, so I filed what I thought was a bug early 2019: [Wayback/Archive] “You must be smarter than the average bear…” after upgrading to 7zip.install v18.6 and notepadplusplus.install v7.6.2 · Issue #1700 · chocolatey/choco which last year got this useful comment
I had this for several packages now, since I am updating them daily.
I am assuming there is a way to remove versions, which leads to this error until there is a new update.
It was confirmed this summer from
I’m smarter than the average bear at least once or twice a month. I think it might be packages which are pulled back and you happen to have installed that version
The bug got referenced this summer from [Wayback/Archive] Remove warning message about “smarter than the average bear” · Issue #3186 · chocolatey/choco.
This in turn lead to [Wayback/Archive] (#3186) Remove easter egg “You are smarter than the average bear …” by pauby · Pull Request #3276 · chocolatey/choco
That made me realise that for large groups of English speaking people “smarter than the average bear” would actually be a well known thing.
So I searched and learned a thing or two:

Translation of solving a broken xs4all connection:
Solved. Summary:
- Liander and UPS functiond, so both Fritz!Box and NTU had power
- NTU LEDs show Power and Glass, but no Ethernet
- Fritz!Box has green Power and WLAN LEDs and a red Info LED
Solution was cold reboot of NTU.
I also neatly tucked away the NTU power cord for an additional 8 minutes extra down time: [Wayback/Archive] mwgp ping – wiert.me

Early spring 2023 I posted Reminder to self: check if FritzOS 7.50 has become available for Fritz!Box 7490 because it would (likely partially) introduce WireGuard support as I knew it had been available for other Fritz!Box devices since december 2022: [Wayback/Archive] Fritzbox: AVM startet die Verteilung von FritzOS 7.50 | heise online
Das Betriebssystem FritzOS 7.50 für Fritzbox-Router ist fertig. Mit dabei sind das Wireguard-VPN und Verbesserungen im Smart-Home-Funktionsumfang.
Finally, early september 2023 my Fritz!Box 7490 devices updated from firmware version 7.29 to 7.57 so apparently it took AVM quite a while to test and stabilise the new features on Fritz!Box 7490.
The final push for 7.57 might actually be a security issue in prior versions that already looks like being exploited according to [Wayback/Archive] AVM: Fritzbox-Firmware 7.57 und 7.31 stopfen Sicherheitsleck | heise online
Fritzbox-Update: Bereits angegriffene Sicherheitslücke wahrscheinlich
In Internetforen finden sich Hinweise darauf, dass die mit dem Update geschlossene Sicherheitslücke bereits angegriffen wird. Den Gerüchten zufolge können Angreifer Zugriff durch den HTTPS-Port 443 erlangen und hätten dann Zugangsdaten zur Fritzbox sowie PPP-Zugangsdaten verändert. Dadurch sei kein Internetzugang mehr möglich, und auch der Zugriff auf die Fritzbox werde verhindert. Einzig ein Werksreset helfe dann, um wieder Zugriff zu erlangen.
The odd thing of the upgrade logs is that the fiber connected 7490 mentioning a DSL settings reset, but the DSL connected 7490 didn’t:
