For a while, I've had multiple Win10 machines - my desktop and one or more tablets (Wookietab, Surface 3 Pro, Surface Go) and one thing has annoyed the heck out of me.
If I changed the KB layout on the Wookietab (because it had a US keyboard) or on the Surface 3 / Go (because the layout is ... not totally standard ... ) then it was reflected on desktop because I use the same MS ID to log into all of them. Which I do want to do, because it means I can restore files and so on because I as the one-and-only user own them regardless of the machine I backed up from.
And recently I've replaced Herself's Surface 3 Pro with a new Android tablet because she never got on with it, too heavy, too "not the same" as her Android phone, tablet, blah, blah.
So I'm repurposing it as a kitchen tablet for recipes mostly - which means I want "one touch open" for desktop icons.
And - you guessed - it syncs that with my desktop, where it's a total PITA! 
But ... I just found it:
Settings...Accounts...Sync Your Settings...Other Windows Settings
Turn that off, and it all stops. Phew!
It may not seem like a lot, but different devices have different needs, different hardware - so switching how that works because I did something on a different machine is very frustrating. Honest!

That's your "roaming data". When you create Windows 10 / UWP apps, you can specify in code what to roam, and it then handles it for you.
I would assume the setting only relates to Windows OS settings.

I keep getting nagged about "a problem with your account" in windows. This is one of the many reasons I have no interest in being "logged in" to to any Microsoft accounts.

Yeah - but it only happens about once every three days - so it's hardly annoying at all... 
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I see it every single time I log in and I log out every time I'm done. That's more like three times per day, at least.
If I want to be logged in I will log in and I see no reason what so ever to do so. It's the same with my damned phone. I don't use that for much beyond making calls but it thinks I should be logged in. I do not so I don't.

Cats and developers have a good deal in common:
They both play with mice;
They both type stuff which is incomprehensible to mere mortals. Or even each other, half the time.

Is it getting harder to buy Advent calendars because their days are numbered?

No, but according to how my chocolate calendar was opened, it should have been Christmas on December 5th...

The file is too big for my little 8-bit arduino, leading the character count to overflow and go negative.
My JSON lib can parse a 200kB file and do complicated queries against it but it can't report where it is in the document.
