I have a folder set as an exception in Windows Security. And then the files inside that folder individually set as exceptions. Every day I get a separate notification for every single file telling me they've been quarantined and I need to decide if I want to allow them or delete them. I think the exception list is just theater and doesn't actually do anything.

Some of Nirsoft's utilities trip off Windows Defender, so I have the entire folder exempted. Most of the time it works, but once in a while Windows Defender "forgets" the exemption list and I have to go and un-quarantine all the files.

And occasionally Prolific Assistant notifies me of surveys with zero places remaining. Very helpful, that.
That's too bad.

I have always had a bit of a bugbear, but now what was an inconvenience has become a matter of life and death.
Surgeons have taps that you can work with you elbows, so that after washing your hands you do not contaminate them by turning off the tap. I feel all taps should work this way. In the past the instances I want it are mainly when my hands are covered in gore from handling meat, or sump oil from working on my car. Now of course it is the coronavirus so is much more important. I cannot see the downside, so why do not all taps work like this?

Oh phew I thought I was weird for being attracted to wrists and forearms on gu... wait never mind
In other news, pulling the plug on the new anti-depressant, it's making me sleep too much and eat too much and even then I'm constantly groggy and hungry. The withdrawal effects are hitting me hard though, holy hell. On the bright side, my... drive has been the best it's ever been in eight years.

I got sleeping problem, today I was so tired, so I decide to try to sleep after having a dinner. At 8 pm I lay down in my bed and just like that I disappear, this is a very luxury thing for me, I don't get something like this often, I need that thing. And at 9 pm my boss call me. Man, I'm so angry, but I cannot do anything just pick up the phone and answer him, he is so worried because of the situation, he asking for an online meeting tomorrow. Still I'm annoyed at him, but I also feel I'm quite egoistic and just thinking about myself, but I need that sleep because of his call I cannot sleep, while tomorrow I need to prepare my mind for brainstorming at 11 am. Sleep is a very sensitive matter for me.
I once got into an argument with a cashier about needing more than one bag for a pail of cat litter. Finally, I told her that I was taking public transit and had several blocks to walk after that. I'd done that so many times and had learned what worked. Therefore, would she ackowledge that I knew more than she did about what I needed to get that very heavy stuff home safely.
One thing that constantly whooshed over cashiers' heads when I was doing the bus-and-walk method of shopping was the necessity of not putting all the heavy stuff in the same bag. "But it fits better" is pointless if it's too heavy to carry or if it makes the bags split. So I had to explain that no, they should not put both jugs of milk in the same bag, but rather one in each bag and lighter stuff should also be split up so I would have a balanced load for each hand.
If they refused, I just moved aside for the next customer and repacked the bags myself, right there. If the cashier got upset, I'd just tell her, "You didn't listen to me, so I have to do it myself."
With getting stuff delivered there isn't quite the same problem, but I still run across the people who will put cleaning supplies in the same bag with food. That's one of the basic things you just don't do, and the younger cashiers seem terribly confused as to why it's not a good idea.

I found the disable for it.
Start Menu > Focus assist settings > Click on "When I'm using an app in full screen mode" > Uncheck "Show a notification..." You can also do this for games.
Rant: I really dislike the word "app."
I am so with you. How is an "app" different from an application, or simply a program?

Rant: I updated Mozilla Thunderbird. Half my extensions don't have updates.

An aside, but one thing you’ll find here in Japan is that taps built after 1995 tend more towards being the type that turn upwards rather than downwards.
Why is that? During the Kobe earthquake of 1995, taps were left running after earthquake stuff (for lack of a better term) fell on top of them and caused them to run.
That’s what I’ve heard anyway. I live in a building built before 1995 and my taps are pushed down to turn on. But fortunately for me, I don’t have anything above them to trigger them in an emergency.
