I'm a little bummed about macOS 13 dropping support for Macs before 2017 (the full list is on their macOS Ventura Preview page), but it was inevitable. Looks like a new Mac will be in my near future. https://www.apple.com/macos/macos-ventura-preview/

I'd go with Macrium Reflect, then. I hesitated for years about buying the Acronis subscription... looks like things went badly sideways after I had to use their product.

A bit late to the question, but I had good experiences with the former Acronis True Image, now (vaguely) renamed Acronis Cyber Protect. They have an example of their compression rates: https://kb.acronis.com/content/16791 However, the latest PC Magazine review of the software was kind of lukewarm, so maybe they're not as reliable as before. You can also use Windows' built in File History application to manage disk image backups: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-full-backup-your-windows-11-pc

Chromeo – Date Night: Chromeo Live!

O No

Found it! I was trying to find this song... took a while, but I described it in Google as a "rising synth instrumental with wordless female vocals"... not actually wordless, as it turns out (stunningly obvious?) – I Feel Love by Donna Summer with help from Giorgio Moroder, of course:

Air – Pocket Symphony

Roxy Music is touring again, with Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera, and Paul Thompson (with St. Vincent). So excited!

Golden Earring – Moontan (1973)

Samus

The Night Manager (2016) Highly recommended

Happy Birthday!

The new Mac Studio is close enough for me right now. It's a bit overkill for my work, though.

Happy Birthday!

This one comes to mind:

8 1/2 Souvenirs – Twisted Desire Haven't enjoyed a new (to me) album this much in a long time. Cheesy, eclectic, and fun:
