I recently noticed a new folder in the root level of my Home directory, named ai_overlay_tmp: In preparation for a future Mac Power Users episode, I've been playing with a bunch of AI software, and I assumed something I downloaded generated this folder.

I like to be able to customize my buttons on my 5 button mouse. I have a Logitech mouse and keyboard, but use BetterMouse for Mac. It’s a much simpler interface. There’s probably something FOSS for PC as well.
I hate Razer’s software with a passion, but the ability to set and assign keyboard macros to my Deathadder’s side buttons that then “just work” across all my computers is invaluable to me.
To give you an example of what I use it for… The Deathadder V2 has two thumb buttons and two small ones under the scroll wheel. The thumb buttons switch between virtual desktops (Previous/Next) using Win+Ctrl+(Left/Right). The top scroll button opens Task View to show me all open windows (Win+Tab). Bottom switches between my two sensitivity presets. For Linux I just bind these same shortcuts to do equivalent actions in window manager/desktop environment. I haven’t used a Mac since I bought this mouse, but with my old MacBook and mouse, I just used Karabiner Elements to rebind stuff around. It gives me a very predictable workflow on all major OSes.
Prime reason why I use a cheap mouse that has no software. Mouse software is literally pointless
