You can fake ADS-B and AIS transmissions as there is no "authentication" or central source of truth/verification in either protocol. This flight doesn't look faked at all, but just throwing this fact out there. There's even tools on GitHub that anyone can use if they have the right hardware to pull it off just like a Twitter user did at the start of the Ukraine war.
Also I've heard that Windows likes monopolizing your boot partition
Yep, seen this happen a couple of times with friends. Their boot loaders just randomly get nuked from their EFI partition after a Windows update,
It's not worth it if you have a single GPU
You can pass through a single GPU, it's just kind of a pain to get working so I wouldn't really recommend you bother with it unless you really want to go this route. Another option is to pick up some ancient very cheap graphics card up off Ebay or something to use for the host machine then pass through your more powerful GPU to the guest machine.
There better be a Kvass wagon as well
There's only one bear that you can feed, this one 
Straight up forking it right now, and by it haha let's just say my bomb.

I disappear for a month or so and now Trump is the next president of the burger reich, Mr. Softie has passed away, apparently there was a dredge tank struggle session?, and probably some other exciting things. What a month.
I stumbled upon this by watching Sigrid's 9front videos, pretty cool little laptop :)

Soviet nuclear-powered icebreaker "Lenin" followed by icebreaker "Yermak" traversing the Northern Sea Route, 1961
(hexbear.net)
Fun fact: Icebreaker Lenin was the world's first nuclear-powered ship that launched in 1957, exactly 40 years after the revolution. In 40 years the Soviets managed to go from an agrarian feudal state to harvesting the atom for power and just a few years after this ship was launched, traversing the cosmos. :)

Decorative tiles made by American and Soviet school children from the Seattle-Tashkent Peace Park in the former Uzbek SSR
(hexbear.net)
You can actually see a bunch of these tiles in Seattle's Tashkent Park still to this day, though they're not as well preserved as the ones in Tashkent which is a shame because a few of the ones I saw in pictures were really wholesome.

New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser automagically
(www.bleepingcomputer.com)
Long story short: That pop-up you get when you open Firefox (or whatever other browser) for the first time asking you if you want to make it your default browser won't work anymore. They're forcing you to go through their convoluted control panel where you have to change it like 20 times for each file extension.
