Oh, looking at the Windows 11 Photos app real quick, I see the path is shown under the file info tab at the top. That's nice! I don't think this was shown anywhere in the Windows 10 version, but again, it's been a while since I've checked.

Hey, some games don't even bother with the documents folder! They just dump their saves right in your home folder!

The Windows Scan app is particularly bad at this. When you scan a document, it saves the scan as a PNG in Pictures\Scans. This is a sensible place to save scans by default, but it doesn't tell you where. It just says it was saved. There's a button to view it, but this just opens the scan in the Windows Photos app, which (at least, last I checked) doesn't have an option to view the full path of the picture you're viewing or open the folder it's in!

I once had someone on Microsoft Community tell me to run sfc /scannow and bootrec /fixmbr. The issue I had was Explorer.exe (like, the start menu and taskbar) was crashing every time I modified a file. The solution (as far as I ever figured out) was to reinstall Windows.

Following up on this, Chest Tracker got an update for 1.20 last week.
I also found clientcommands, which adds some client side commands, including /cfinditem to find items in nearby chests. Though, some of the commands it adds likely considered cheating on a lot of servers (like /cfindblock and /cfind).

IPN is pretty neat. I tried it earlier, and I don't think it worked with the Iron Chests mod when I checked a couple weeks ago, but it seems to now.
Where Is It, seems to do the same sort of thing as Chest Tracker, but on 1.20.

Hey! I won't take any slander for the Logitech F710 Wireless Controller!!!
(I have the F310, which is the cheaper and worse version that doesn't have wireless. The dpad is mushy, the sticks aren't great, and the shoulder buttons are on a weird overhang. I have no Idea why anyone would intentionally use this controller when there's better options. The F310 is only like $20, so I get it if someone just wants a really cheap controller, but the F710 is $50! That's only $10 cheaper than an actual XBox controller!)
I don't actually have a new startpage to show off, but I want to share some of my old ones. I last posted these on reddit in 2019 (4 years ago!). [https://imgur.com/a/UTdxeQv](https://imgur.com/a/UTdxeQv) **February 12, 2017** [February 12, 2017](https://i.imgur.com/GsTsWB7.png) This one was a simple list of links, mainly to my favorite subreddits, webcomics, tools, and socials (yes, I did use Google+). The color scheme was based on the PaperColor vim theme for a markdown file. **May 3, 2019** [May 3, 2019](https://i.imgur.com/uAOtuKy.png) This one was a lot more minimal. Still a list of links, but less of them and no categories. This one is customizable. The text (hello, world), date format, links, and colors can all be changed in settings. Available here: [https://github.com/Rayquaza01/startpage/releases/tag/v2.0.0](https://github.com/Rayquaza01/startpage/releases/tag/v2.0.0) **July 21, 2019** [July 21, 2019](https://i.imgur.com/tzVvPvM.png) This was my first attempt at including an RSS feed in the startpage, and It was very ugly. The background image is pulled from the Bing wallpaper of the day. **July 28, 2019** [July 28, 2019](https://i.imgur.com/iSfiAwd.png) [July 28, 2019, but animated](https://i.imgur.com/V2n2NL8.mp4) This is the newest one I've made. I really like how the block with the date and time looks. The background color can be set to a static color, or to shift between a set of various colors, which I think provides a very nice looking effect. The feed at the bottom can pull from any RSS feed, but it defaults to [https://reddit.com/r/popular/.rss](https://reddit.com/r/popular/.rss). (You could set this to a kbin or lemmy feed instead, if you want) It also has support for FreshRSS, a self-hostable RSS server. You can set it to pull from a FreshRSS feed to get from multiple rss feeds at once (in the first screenshot, it's pulling from my YouTube subscriptions from FreshRSS). It can also mark entries as read in FreshRSS after you open them. Available here: [https://github.com/Rayquaza01/startpage/releases/tag/v3.0.3](https://github.com/Rayquaza01/startpage/releases/tag/v3.0.3) I kind of want to work on this again. I would appreciate any tips or suggestions on how to improve it! The source code for (most) of these start pages can be found here: [https://github.com/Rayquaza01/startpage](https://github.com/Rayquaza01/startpage).

I just finished This is How You Lose the Time War today. It's a pretty short read, but I think it's as good as everyone says.
This is the design I made for my bedroom in ACNH. I made this back in Februrary and posted it [on mastodon](https://strangeobject.space/@arnaught/109938825460381485) [A screenshot of Animal Crossing New Horizons. My character is sitting at their desk, looking at their phone. A Nintendo Switch is sitting on the desk. On the wall above the desk is a corkboard with a picture of Sylveon pinned to it, as well as a space poster.

My favorite modpack is definitely the old Tekkit for Minecraft 1.5. I've probably spent more hours in Tekkit than any other Minecraft version or modpack. As for a mod, I wouldn't say this is my *favorite* mod, but I want to recommend [Chalk](https://modrinth.com/mod/chalk). It's a very simple mod that adds a chalk item, which you can use to draw arrows on the ground. It's very useful for marking your path when exploring open areas and cave systems.
I want to find a mod that lets you filter items in an inventory (like the old NEI double-click search mode). I know about [More Overlays Updated](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/more-overlays-updated), but that's Forge only, and I'd prefer to stay on Fabric. Does anyone know about a Fabric mod that lets you search inventories? (Also, I'm really impressed at how many mods there are for 1.20 already, considering it just released last week.)
