You could create one with the normal shortcut editor, which is built right into Windows. As for considering Windows a risk, well yes it is.
This is going to be a teaching moment for cyber security.
This really is solvable with a KeePass setup, but it is harder. I use KeePass and host my own Nextcloud instance. One of the files I have up there is my KeePass database. If I need one of my passwords, I access it from my phone and type it in. If I really, really wanted to drop my password database on someone else's computer, I could login to my Nextcloud instance via a web browser, pull down the file and run KeePass as a portable executable (not installed). It'd be a PITA (and there are some caveats around this process), but it's certainly possible.
That said, online password managers make sense for a lot of use cases. I generally recommend BitWarden when people ask me for what to use. The whole "KeePass and manual sync" answer really only works for those folks who want to self host lots of things. And it brings its own set of risks with it. I'm the type of weirdo who is running splunk locally, feed all my logs into it and have dashboards setup (and looked at regularly) dealing with security. I have no expectation that my wife will do that and so she uses BitWarden.
I think the most important thing to convince people of is "use a password manager". The problem TommySoda brought up is very real:
While I understand that password reuse is a problem I also understand that remembering 50+ passwords, because literally everything requires you to make an account, is impossible.
The hard thing to teach people is that, you don't actually need to know those 50+ passwords, nor should you care what they are. With a password manager, they can be the crazy unique 20 character, random string of letters, numbers, symbols, upper and lower case characters. And you won't care. Open the website, and either copy/paste the password or (if you password manager supports it) use the auto-type feature. There are risks to each; but, nothing will ever be without risk. Just please folks, stop reusing passwords. That's bad, m'kay.
Thank you.
I was introduced to it when it was still Hero’s Quest (and EGA)
This is the version I always play. There's something just "right" about the EGA graphics and text parser. A clicky interface will never replicate:
Hut of brown, now sit down
There's probably a lot of nostalgia in the choice, but my all time favorite game is Quest for Glory: So You Want to be a Hero. The game was just the right mix of fantasy, adventure and humor for a young me, and I still go back an play it about once a year. A close second is Valheim. It's kinda my "cozy game". I find building and exploring relaxing, and there's enough fighting to keep the game from getting boring.
Sounds more like a feature than a bug.
We dun fucked up when we made tarring and feathering CEOs illegal.
Hopefully, this will be another rousing mobile success for Microsoft. Right up there with the Windows Phone.
I'm torn between the beach house and the mountain house. I love the beach and would love to be able to wake up and wander out into the waves. Especially if the beach features tropical waters and soft, rock free, sand. Though, this home could easily be monkey pawed by placing the house on some rock strew nightmare of a beach with cold waters (or the opposite, for those folks into foot killing beaches). That said, such a beach house would invariably be overrun during the tourist season, and hell being other people, this would greatly reduce the joy of living there.
The mountain home, on the other hand, offers a wonderful sense of solitude. And skinny dipping with the wife in a hot tub is a fantastic way to start an autumn evening. Though, even in the mountains, you can find subdivisions where the houses are piled on top of each other and the "sense of solitude" has trouble being maintained with the neighbors plainly visible though the trees. And once you get into full blown winter, the cold can start to wear on you. So again, possibly a mixed bag, depending on the specific circumstances.
So ya, I guess I'd take the beach house and just take vacations to somewhere else during the high season. Maybe set it up as an AirBnB or the like for those times. Though, the idea of random strangers doing gods know what on my mattress kinda creeps me out. Guess I'd need a storage unit with rental furniture to swap out during those times as well.
Why do you expect to receive someone else's work for free? Part of the reason the web has become so enshitified is that no one is willing to pay for anything anymore. We all expect everything to be "ad supported", and then we act shocked when everything is covered in ads.
That said, there are usually open source alternatives for most software packages out there. They may not have complete feature parity or have quite the same slick UI as the commercial products. But, they do tend to be both free in terms of cost and ads. E.g for image editing, there is Gimp. It's not going to replace Adobe Photoshop in professional spaces anytime soon. But, for a home user who isn't willing to shell out the Adobe Tax, it's a reasonable choice.
But, the reason so much is paywalled is because everything takes time and money to create. Someone has to pay that cost. Maybe it's advertisers, maybe it's a dedicated team of volunteers. But increasingly, creators are asking users to pay directly.

Instead of worrying about what sign is on the outside of the building, let’s pay attention to the department’s funding. What happens to federal funding for education under the Trump administration, whether there’s a fully functional Department of Education or a vacant building collecting dust while the work gets done elsewhere? We simply don’t know.Trump has said a lot more about shutting down the department than offering policy papers on federal funding for education.
Here’s what we do know, though, with absolute certainty: how much federal funding each school system gets and what percentage that is of its total funding. That’s listed every year in an annual report on the state Department of Education’s website.
The localities most dependent on federal funding are in rural areas — and most cities. The localities least dependent on federal funding tend to be suburbs, particularly those in Northern Virginia.

Winchester man reveals name of soldier who created massive peace sign in Vietnam at height of war

My daughter wanted a "Gorilla Tag" birthday. And my wife wanted me to print some party favors for the guest kids. Not my model, but they are churning out ok-ish.

It's also not really a bug. It's just understanding that whitespace characters are often ignored and can be used to push a command past the end of the textbox in the "edit shortcut" form. I'm not sure I really see a fix for it either. Granted, I think always showing file extensions would be a good start; but, that horse is so long out of the barn it's grown old and died in the woods. Much like hyperlinks, I think people just need to learn to be careful where they put their click.
