Best of luck.
I was going to suggest a computer game for you to play but with you being cooped up for a fortnight nothing obvious came to mind...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Might be worth inquiring. Our state government agency that issues drivers licences also issues a non-licence, purely for the purposes of having a legit photo ID (for 18yos to get into pubs etc). NSW Photo Card - Licence - Roads - Roads and Maritime Services[^]
I went to my GP on Monday for a routine checkup and flu shot. Got IR scanned at the door (36.1, all good) but because I've had a bit of a (wet) cough for a few weeks I got swabbed (yuk). Haven't heard anything more, so I guess it came back negative.
All the best to you both.
Cheers,

They told me that a mask and gloves were enough to go to the supermarket. Turns out they lied, everyone else has clothes on.

I'm still stuck at home:
1. I cannot go out in public without a mask.
2. I cannot get a mask without going out.

Want me to send you my stormtrooper helmet?

simple: use a pair of panties and some string or ribbon to tie them on.
hard part is deciding which one wont be missed from the collection.

Then that would be TMI on a major scale.

Not too much information, but rather the wrong information.
I want to know how he did it!

I sometimes have this weird issue where I get a new mail and the email app thinks it's part of some email conversation.
I just got a CodeProject newsletter and the app thought this was the followup to some email I sent in 2011, to someone who is not on CP or, for as far as I know even heard of CP.
It's a bit annoying, I even accidentally deleted that mail from 2011 while I shouldn't have seen it at all.
Really makes you wonder what Google does to my emails and what weird algorithm thinks "let's go back to 2011 and see if I can find something to match with this new email"

Well, I know they read my emails, make a detailed profile of me and then send me targeted ads.
But I'm interested in the weirder, unspeakable things they do with my data...

You can call it AI or Machine Learning, you have free choice.

ML, if you please, it's clearly not intelligent
The ML needs some work too if this is what they come up with

Bash MS all you like, but their development tooling is much easier easier to use than most.
Recently I wanted to test something in Java, so I downloaded a JDK and Eclipse. It's a lot less intuitive to use (for a beginner?) than Visual Studio and I didn't didn't it easy to use at all. I finally tried IntelliJ - it's better and I got the code sample working. Still not on the same level as VS. MS has made the development experience easier than most other companies imo.

Now you are spoiling the fun

When MS get it right, they get it very, very right - and everyone else in the field should learn from them and improve. And Visual Studio has been very, very right for a couple of decades now.
Trouble is they tend to not know when "it's right" and try "gilding the lily": generally they make it worse, not better. Remember the Ribbon? So wonderful that "we'll put it everywhere!" - except even their own devs said "not on this one, pal."
I just wish they would stop adding "features" and fix some of the older, more annoying bugs ...

Well, you have to keep releasing new versions to make more money
I think there is also a culture in software development that you always have to have new versions with more and better features, when sometimes that isn't necessary. Like you said, it happens that products get worse by 'overdoing' it.
