So close that Microsoft Edge's heuristics picked it up as a potential scam after being used for a bit!
Wow, did you get some kind of notification in Edge? Maybe they're trying to detect certain remote desktop sessions used in scams or something.
Will call our IT support tomorrow and start this as a full screen. That will be fun in the office :-)
That's actually not a bad April Fool's prank.

Man nothing drives me further up the wall than when a nice progress indicator with discrete segments gets animated with a lazy `to { rotate(360deg); }` etc[1]. It is my molehill to die on [1] https://cdn.dribbble.com/userupload/41647820/file/original-8...
You know talking about progress bars, it takes a lot of confidence to program a linear progress bar. You think you know when loading will be complete and think you know can break down the incremental progress made during loading. Instead we get these spinning wheels that are like "maybe in the future this wheel will stop and we will have a return value." No confidence whatsoever. I know this is true because Apple tri…
Win XP remains my favourite OS till date. I was in college and getting hands on a pirated copy back then makes me so nostalgic. There was a cambrian explosion of tools to customize the look and feel. TweakXP pro is the one I remember. All pirated off-course.
