Genuine question - can a topic really be `opertunistic` or is that author typo? I love these `referer`-type misspellings that become fossilized over generations

The code doesn't seem to use it, but I think it would be a misspelling by the author, as it's probably an integer code.

Unfortunately, there are many typos in my code :P

On the other hand, I'm not sure if this is a typo on Apple's part, but it certainly is weird: you must use "WindowSerial" here[1], not "WindowsSerial" with the extra s

That "missing plural S in PascalCased (or camelCased) names" is something I see semi-often!

Congratulations on this amazing work :)
