331: More Teddy Ruxpin, Less Chucky

It's been a while since we got down to brass tacks with a tips and tricks episode, so that's what we're doing this week with a new list of tech that's making our lives a little more pleasant lately. Will extols the tiling window manager once again -- not just in Linux, but also what's going on with this unique workflow in Windows and MacOS -- and talks over his brute-force strategy for iMessaging in Windows and making his Nest thermostat less evil. And Brad talks about why everyone should buy a $20 USB video capture dongle, how recent additions to PowerToys are making Windows 11 just slightly less crappy, and urges us all to stock up before the grim, optical disc-less future arrives.
