Minor things that bother you

Speaking of computers, 1 GB being 1024 MB instead of a round 1000.

1024 is round.  In binary, that the computer uses.

Agreed. 1024 = 10000000000 in binary. Lots of round zeroes there.

I remember in ninth grade a teacher I didn't like (and who didn't particularly seem to like anyone) required us to maintain a grade sheet (not in itself a bad idea, of course), so to annoy her I kept mine in binary notation because my calculator allowed me to convert very easily.

The most I've been able to do is use Snip & Sketch. I can't block license plate numbers or SunPass codes with it though. I also can't resize any photos.

Isn't there a pen tool that can be used to scribble over them?

That's part of paint.

On my work computer (still on Windows 10), there's a pen tool part of Snipping Tool.  It's right next to the highlighter and eraser.  Did Microsoft remove that functionality in Windows 11 or something?

Nope. It's still there. Use it daily.

While Windows Snipping Tool is OK, my go-to tool for screenshot capture and editing is ShareX. As for image editing, it's Paint.net. Both are free.

Meanwhile, Google broke my email notification system because it no longer allows access to the SMTP servers via username and password. Instead, the access has to be via OAUTH2. Fortunately, my critical system, TrueNAS, supports that. As a workaround, I'm temporarily using a free plan of a SMTP service to send notifications until a permanent solution is found. I'm hoping to find a Docker container that can relay messages to Google so that I can send emails locally.
