Linux Mint has a slider control for a keyboard backlight on my laptop, that's a very nice touch I haven't seen yet.

Klipsch R5 Bluetooth earbuds

-
My only complaint about these is how none of my devices report battery information. IPhone always says 80%, Pixel, Windows, and Linux devices all reported nothing. An app for these earbuds would be most welcome. Sound quality, superb. I had a pair of Klipsch X11s and these are just as nice. For Bluetooth earbuds, they've really impressed me. Every other pair I've had has sounded tinny. And bottoms/tops out quickly. These guys? Very nice. I haven't had them static out once yet. The mic is also quite nice.

People doing what they want and the government saying they have to do it differently? No. Murder? Government should be involved. Insurance? Fork and make your own. See, the reason insurance is so expensi...

PowerShell

PowerShell attempts to solve the problem of Windows being GUI oriented and having little to no CLI controls. The trouble is PowerShell sucks. The syntax is inconsistent and there is no verbose option for 90% of the commands. Compared to the POSIX consistent shells, PowerShell is still very, very, VERY immature.
