Naturally, it’s open source. (But not yet on the gallery. )

🚨 Breaking change in Invoke-WebRequest that could impact your automations.
I wrote a helper script to find where Invoke-WebRequest is and isn't using -UseBasicParsing. It also works for any other cmdlets/parameters combo.

How cool is this?!? Can’t wait to play with this! @toastit.dev is a standup human and you should download this and give him a star and follow if for some reason you haven’t already.
BurntToast turns #PowerShell into lovely toast notifications
Here’s @toastit.dev creating a toast notification with a button that launches Notepad. Use your imagination and think of the possibilities!
Try it yourself:
