Find and copy photos from old disk using PowerShell
$SourceDir = "D:\Users\dir" $DestinationDir = "F:\" Get-ChildItem -Path "$SourceDir" -Filter *.jpg -File -Recurse | Copy-Item -Destination "$DestinationDir"
That probably isn’t the best way. It probably would have been better and faster to use something like:
Get-ChildItem -Path "$SourceDir" -recurse | where {$_.extension -in ".jpg",".png"} | Copy-Item -Destination "$DestinationDir"
P.S.—Some sources say that a hot plate at 100C for 1-2 minutes is good at loosening up the back. And there are Chinese-origin handheld programmers for transferring TrueTone data to a new screen (if the screen has an embedded EEPROM chip).
My BMW 335i
Let me go back to the controls for just a moment. Some cars, many cars—maybe even most cars—have controls that seem to have been an afterthought. It’s as if they were designed by someone who hates driving, tolerates driving, or doesn’t drive. They are maddening and confusing, with maddening and confusing symbols disguised as help.
The Bimmer was not this way. My E90 had the most delightful controls I have ever used. Every button and lever was in the most logical, practical place. My favorite example of a well-designed control in that car was the cruise control. Accelerating and decelerating could be done in multiples of 1mph or 5mph thanks to a “resistance point” – much like the half-click of a shutter. Resuming was a button at the end of the lever. To disable, simply push the lever up or down or brake. The car would resume cruise speed after passing and would engine brake going downhill.
I don’t miss the repairs; in fact, I traded it into a used car dealer that had a service center because of a major leak that was the last straw. Thankfully, they had a CR-V in great condition and I’ve been driving it for the last 3 years.
Tom’s assumptions
1. Consulting can build cash freedom
2. Positioning is for the ego, not for the market
3. Change is continuous and self-directed, so you should stomach “bad work” because you can escape it faster
4. How much “time” you have is really about how much energy you have
Tom’s map
Phase 1: Making the leap, zero to one
Phase 2: Getting started
Phase 3: Find stability
Phase 4: Find freedom
Phase 5: Build equity

Resolving SSL error on Wi-Fi
- Verify that my SSL cert was properly configured.
- Verify that FreshRSS API access and API password were set up.
- Verify that all details were entered accurately in the mobile apps.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and try refreshing over LTE. This worked, indicating that the issue is not the client/server app configuration, but the network configuration.
- Reset iPhone network settings and re-join Wi-Fi. Errored again.
- Change DNS settings on my Wi-Fi connection to use Cloudflare resolvers (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) instead of Spectrum. This worked (update: temporarily. It also works over VPN.)
Based on my troubleshooting, I suspect Spectrum is doing something funky with DNS or SSL. (Possibly related: The Spectrum TV app is in Day 2 of an extended outage that started around 06:00 UTC -4, 8 June 2022).
