đĄ product of the week: An Oven
This week, we are featuring a favorite product in the household. An Oven is a thermally insulated chamber used for cooking, heating, and baking food. We love ovens because they can cook turkeys, casseroles, stuffing, and much more. When the food is hot, delicious, and ready to eat...chefâs kiss. đ¤
Just kidding, guys. Weâre a little too excited for the Thanksgiving feast this Thursday. Hereâs our real product of the week:Â
đĄ product of the week: Rainmeter
This week, weâre featuring a favorite product from Brian Schultze, a 3rd year Informatics major. His favorite product is Rainmeter, a software that allows you to customize your desktop. He writes:
I like Rainmeter because it allows you to tailor your desktop to whatever aesthetic you're going for. I mostly play around with the audio-visual skins that show animations to the beat of whatever song you're playing on Spotify, but you can honestly do anything with this software! If you like organization and having a clean workspace, I'd recommend trying Rainmeter out.
Honestly, I just use it for the translucent taskbar and displaying the date/system information at the moment because I'm focused on other things. But even then it saves me a click or two and it's nice to look at lol
Brian was kind enough to record a video showing his own desktop with his customized skins and personalized background music. Watch the video of his desktop tour here. Thanks Brian! đĽď¸
