Before digging into Wake-on-LAN on Windows machines, I’ll interlude with basically the canonical wakonlan available on many non Windows machines
On Linux and BSD machines, there is the Perl script wakeonlan (steadily at version 0.41) at [Wayback/Archive.is] jpoliv/wakeonlan: Perl script for waking up computers via Wake-On-LAN magic packets (script: [Wayback/Archive.is] wakeonlan/wakeonlan at master · jpoliv/wakeonlan) with this help:

A while ago [Archive.is] Adam Jacob on Twitter: “Let’s say nice things about technology today. I’ll start. If it wasn’t for @lkanies and @puppetize, there is no way we would have been able to adapt as an industry to the rise of the cloud. Quote tweet me with your own.” sparked some interesting threads.

Vista!
Windows Vista introduced the /g switch in shutdown.exe and was unchanged in Windows 7:
/g Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is rebooted, restart any registered applications.
I never noticed it until Windows 10 which began actively use it when applying system updates: then suddenly many of the previously running applications would reopen during startup.

Since I will be bitten by this someday, here the september 2021 observation that [Wayback] By default, scp(1) now uses SFTP protocol.
The original scp/rcp protocol remains available via the -O flag.
It refers to the august 2021 announcement in the [Wayback] OpenSSH: Release Notes – OpenSSH 8.7/8.7p1 (2021-08-20) that scp supported SFTP (like the sftp tool) and that it would become default soon:

Printing on MacOS can be less Plug&Play than one hopes for.
For default printer drivers on MacOS for the same printer:
One solution for my OKI MC363 is to use the HP PCL driver and fake it as a HP Colour LaserJet 9500 (which provides a similar amount of memory, and colour duplex A4 printing):

Every now and then you revisit old Windows versions. It seems a fact of life.
If course those lack more recent features, one of which is the default View with which Windows Explorer starts.
In Windows 10 you can switch it between “This PC” and “Quick Access”. Not so with Windows 8.1.
