Windows Update was unlikely to be the cause. You would have set you active hours so that updates wouldn’t be triggered inside your working hours, I trust. If the BSOD happens regularly I suggest getting the machine checked, perhaps a hardware error?

A reminder that it’s Windows Updates today or tomorrow.

I was reminded today of a program I already have for plotting #GNSS #GPS performance from a serial port on Windows - GNSSToolKit3. It works nicely and has many more views than my screenshot shows. This Is plotting from an indoor GPS puck connected to my #tinyGTC. See: github.com/zxcwhale/Gns...

.. and from my @raspishake.bsky.social in #Edinburgh.

As seen in south #Edinburgh….

M 6.9 #earthquake 11 km ESE of Calape, #Philippines - over 11000 km away - as detected in #Edinburgh on my @raspishake.bsky.social. #USGS details: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Strange fault today. #Denon “receiver” caused a Wi-Fi to LAN adaptor to stop working. Fault-finding took much longer than it should have done, but eventually powering down the Denon box, waiting five minutes, and powering back up fixed the issue. Hope I remember this for next time!

On the issue of Pres Trump allegation that paracetamol can cause autism, it’s worth noting that, as the Health Secretary Wes Streeting says, a major study carried out last year in Sweden, involving 2.4 million children, didn’t support this suggestion.

Winter constellations starting to show now. #Orion #Sirius from #Edinburgh just before 05:00 UTC this morning. #Pixel10Pro phone camera, 6 second exposure, pressed against the window frame for support.

Well worth watching for John and his trusted experts.

Just caught up with the Last Night of the Proms having been at the BrentfordvChelsea thriller last night - what a fabulous concert, great musicians, huge fun and Auld Lang Syne always has me finding a little grit in my eye www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

#Pixel 10 Pro phone - claims X100 zoom. Believable? I tried it today, hand-held. It seems that the phone automatically post processes the image to produce a sharper result. Original and processed paired here. The #moon is at x80 as the moon more than covers the x100 field!
