Recording my Mac screen with the sound included

Cmd+Shift+5 records the screen fine but there's no audio from the video I'm playing, only silence. Need the system sound in the recording. Free options?

Mouse cursor randomly vanishes in Windows 11

Every so often the pointer just disappears. Mouse still works because I can click things, I just can't see where it is. Moving it hard sometimes brings it back. Happens with two different mice so I don't think it's hardware.

Windows won't let me install utorrent

Trying to install uTorrent to grab some Linux ISOs and Windows Security blocks the installer as a potentially unwanted app. Is that a real concern with uTorrent, and is there a cleaner client people use instead?

Does any external CD drive work with a MacBook Pro?

Got a box of old family CDs to rip. My MacBook Pro only has USB-C ports. Do I need an Apple-specific drive or will any cheap USB one plus an adapter do?

Acer Aspire screen went black but the laptop seems on

Power light is on, fans spin, keyboard lights up, but the display is completely black. Happened after it was closed overnight. Haven't dropped it. Is this the screen dying or something I can fix?
