The most recent case of funny lawsuits (well, the case hasn't reached the courts yet - The last I heard was that the criminal wasn't yet caught) is whether indecent exposure to a car is against the law. Noone saw it happen, late at night when a young man entered the parking house, empty except for the cars, and flashing himself to a parked Tesla. He obviously knew that a Tesla has cameras recording whatever happens around the car, even when parked and seemingly completely turned off.
The owner of the car didn't look through the videos until a couple of days later, to discover the naked young man who obviously was aware of the cameras. So the legal question is: Can you be fined or thrown in prison because a car saw you flashing yourself?
Note that Internet wasn't involved. If the image was transmitted over the Internet and the man had touched himself, the viewer (here: the car owner) would have been arrested. Provided, of course, that the viewer was a male. If the flasher was below 14 years of age, the car owner would have been arrested for raping the child. That is in Norway - I hope that it is not common in other countries.

I updated C'YaPass in the Windows app store.
You can see it in the app store[^]. Its 100% FREE & open source.
User Experience
Anyways, everything went well with the update so I went to update it on my Win10 computer so I could get the user experience and see how it all worked.
When I visited the app store and looked at the app, it didn't say anything about there being an update.
I was confused -- it had been more than 24 hours after my windows app store dev account said it would be available.
Reboot - Nothing
I rebooted and visited the store again. Again, nothing. It showed that I owned the app but nothing about updates. I started the app from the app store to see if it would trigger anything. It started the older installed version (1.4.7)
I didn't notice anything. Then I decided to shut down the computer and check again later.
WinGet COM Server
When I attempted to shut down the computer, I was notified that some process was running and asked if I'd like to kill it.
I canceled the shutdown and looked in Task Manager and I saw this (snapshot)[^].
WinCOMServer => WindowsPackageManagerServer.exe... and that thing is eating up some process. Wow!
I decided to wait until that service completed.
Yep, after that cryptic service completed then the App Store (which I had closed previously) now had an [Install] button -- but not an [Update] button like it should. Oy!
I ran the install and the latest version 1.4.8 was installed as expected.
So, that is the user experience...

Coincidence...
I yesterday was at a friends place teaching he and a friend of him automation. He told me about the DOS "winget" prompt.
I commented it a couple of threads above this. You might like it too.

Just concluded a fifteen day tour of seven countries in Western Europe. Had visited the US more than 10 years ago.
Noticed a similarity in the graffiti font on the walls, in Europe and US. The same styling of letters, the same leftward slant. In more than half of the cases.
Is there someone who teaches the graffiti writers about this so-called graffiti font? Cannot be just a coincidence, isn't it?

I'm guessing the styles evolve by people playing off of each other's designs. It's similar with music.

Yes, I noticed that some years ago when I was travelling in Europe regularly. I had previously thought it was only in the UK.

As far as I know, there are many fonts and styles of graffiti and tags and each has its own name

But marginally better than the alternative. I am up in the night (every night), but manage to get back to sleep until around 0630.

More than a decade ago 1 to 3 AM my time was the peak of activity on Warcraft 3 servers. Which resulted in countless wasted nights on my behalf, but it’s a beautiful game, it’s a good way of making friends too.

When you love what you do it shouldn’t matter if it’s Monday or some other day.

I agree. I look forward to Mondays. As the cliché goes, I enjoy what I do, so I've never had to work a day in my life.

I remind myself that most heart attacks occur on rising on Mondays.
