• Trying to find the real MinGW

  Hi, I have been learning C++ recently using Visual Studio and Replit and wanted to switch to using a compiler with the windows command prompt. When I search up how to install MinGW there are multiple tutorials of indian people and other people who use totally different links and download pages in each video and I'm not sure which one to trust.

• Hard disk LEDs and noisy machines

  For working with remote machines that I need to ssh into I've found mobaXTerm[1] to be a very useful terminal emulator.

• Day 1 - Get to know your server

  There are various SSH clients available for Windows (PuTTY, Solar-PuTTY, MobaXterm, Termius, etc) but if you use Windows versions older than 10, the installation of PuTTY is suggested. Source: 5 months ago

• What old, outdated apps you still use on Windows and find useful.
