Samsung x Starbucks

Samsung x Starbucks

Samsung in South Korea announced a collaboration with Starbucks and only available in South Korea.
One of its accessories caught my attention: the latte art case for the Galaxy Buds.

The buds case is resembles a tiny white mug with a handle and latte art on top.
The buds inside could be seen if you flicked the top up.
The mug itself bears the recognizable green Starbucks logo.

As a person who enjoys coffee and likes going to Starbucks every once in a while to get himself a latte with a caramel drizzle, this case greatly appeals to me.
However, I have to agree this is a bit big and impractical the case actually is. I can’t imagine putting the entire clump into my pockets like how I would with caseless buds.
But if the case is cute enough, I’d find a way to live with it.

Samsung mentions that all of its Starbucks-themed accessories are made with eco-friendly materials.

Manchester United 2022-2023 Home Kit

Me wearing Manchester United 22/23 Home Jersey

I just bought Manchester United’s new 2022-2023 home kit from Al-Ikhsan Sports.
It is made by Adidas and will be worn in the Premier League 2022 – 2023 campaign.

To explore the design of the kit further, Inigo Turner, Design Director at Adidas said:
The polo collar is synonymous with Manchester United. Turned up or folded down, it has played a starring role in many of the club’s biggest moments. With such a rich history, we wanted to pay homage to some of the club’s most legendary kits and players.

Collar and 3 stripes

The Adidas Manchester United 2022-2023 home kit combines a rather dark red main color with a white Adidas logo and black Three Stripes.

The “triangle” design can be seen on the collar

What makes the kit special is the Polo collar. The white collar comes with a 1994-inspired triangular design.

Manchester United logo with sheild

The Manchester United 22-23 home kit features a shield on which the Manchester United logo is placed.
The shield has a pentagon shape with a slightly darker tone of red than the rest of the shirt and outlined by a thin border to separate the shape.

A shield for the crest is nothing new for Manchester United

Building a project that target .NET Framework 4.5 in Visual Studio 2022

Error MSB3644: The reference assemblies for framework “.NETFramework,Version=v4.5” were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed

For some reason, the oldest version of .NET Framework for which a developer pack is available is 4.5.1.
I could just retarget my libraries to .NET Framework 4.5.1, but I just don’t want to.

There is no developer pack for .NET Framework 4.5

Luckily, there is an easy solution!

1) Extract the .nupkg from Microsoft.NETFramework.ReferenceAssemblies.net45 NuGet package.
2) Then, copy the files from that package build\.NETFramework\v4.5\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5

That’s it!
Visual Studio can now build projects that target .NET Framework 4.5.
I hope this helps someone, because I couldn’t find any useful information about this on the web!
