🎬 The Suicide Squad
Well, a few scenes were funny. But this really isn’t my type of movieand I wonder what I was thinking. 🤷♂️

Running PowerShell as Scheduled Task without window popping up
Running tasks automatically and in the background is really helpful. When you are also actively working on the same machine windows popping up and stealing the curser focus is somewhere between annoying and “I want to throw things out of the window”. Because staying calm is important here are the arguments for powershell.exe to be placed in a scheduled task that dows not open a window. Arguments: -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -WindowStyle Hidden { .
📄 No AVIF for now
After contemplating about responsive images - especially for my photo journal - I had a look at my current approach and whether it makes sense to add image variants in AVIF format to the mix. And my current answer to this is “no”.
🎬 Videodrome
I enjoyed the general theme of this film, but somehow it didn’t reallygrab me for some reason. Maybe I was just too tired that evening.
Visually this was fantastic, though: especially those kind of specialeffects.
I should probably watch this again at some point.
Using the Windows Credential Manager from PowerShell
I was automating some Azure DevOps tasks using a scheduled task and PowerShell and needed the ability to authenticate. As the credentials should not be in clear text in the script I wanted to use the Windows Credential Manager. [void][Windows.Security.Credentials.PasswordVault,Windows.Security.Credentials,ContentType=WindowsRuntime] $vault = New-Object Windows.Security.Credentials.PasswordVault $vaultCredential = ` $vault.Retrieve(` $env:SYSTEM_TEAMFOUNDATIONCOLLECTIONURI, ` `$env:USERNAME); if($vaultCredential -eq $null){ Write-Host "The credentials must be created first..."; Write-Host "User name: $env:USERNAME" -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host "Password: " -NoNewline; $value = [System.

TIL: Real-time Collaboration for Jupyter Notebooks
Jochen Wersdörfer While preparing a screencast with Manuel, we searched for real-time collaboration tools for Jupyter notebooks. JetBrains' "Code With Me" proved unsuitable, displaying only raw JSON. Here are two practical alternatives:
- Visual Studio Code's "Live Share" extension
-
Launching JupyterLab server like this:
jupyter-lab --collaborative
If you're aware of other collaboration tools for Jupyter notebooks suited for screencasts, please drop me a note 😄!

📄 Contemplating the usefulness of responsive images
With smartphones getting bigger and screen resolutions becoming ever more dense, is it still feasible to serve a whole bunch of different image sizes on a photo sharing web site?

🎬 Old
I found this a little kitschy at times. And the subject matter couldhave been explored more deeply in my opinion. But otherwise an enjoyablemovie with an interesting idea and good execution.
🎬 Prince of Darkness
I like Carpenter-films. This one is no exception. From the atmosphere tothe soundtrack to how it’s made: all top-notch. Where it’s a bit lackingfor me, is the story itself and the action. It didn’t captivate me asmuch as his other films did. And I don’t know why that is. Maybe I wassimply a little too tired when I watched this.
🎬 The Fly
Wow! That is a classic for a reason. I haven’t seen this in a very longtime and now had a blast watching this at the cinema. It’s suspenseful,shocking, well-written, well-played, well-filmed, and great specialeffects and costumes. Highly recommended!

About how my "reviews" can sometimes seem unfair, when they are really not meant to be.
