Um, they don't do this. Be sure you have a good test account that acts exactly like a user account do your testing with that.
In nearly 30 years of programming, at 5 different firms, Web, Mainframe, SharePoint, .net, Jquery. I have yet to ever see any users report fake bugs. It usually is a case of me or my team not accurately testing the reports.
They aren't going to waste their own time reporting fake bugs.

Capture the details, and either show him that it is NOT reproducible or "never" happens twice.
Don't try to make the customers look like they are lying.
Customers often look foolish on their own.
I had a lady do this on newly released software like 17 years ago. Complaining the software had so many bugs it was unusable, and was going to take down the business. But I noticed she did not report bugs on Monday or tuesday. She waited until the busiest day (wednesday) when everything was critical, and then ALWAYS had a problem. And it never added up to me. She ZAPPED all the data and did it by hand, stayed late, got paid overtime, and complained loudly.
It was rough. In the end, I suggested to the owner that her behavior felt like sabotage. That some of her own "it has to work this way" statements were a source of 1-2 of the real issues she did find.
(and because it was new, I gave her the benefit of the doubt for too long).
So, I asked the owner to do the work, and give her a week off. That he should know if the software was working. He found 1 TINY issue, found the software worked great, and was easy to use. He gave her another week off, and we tweaked the system some more.
Then he fired this lady when she finally admitted to sabotaging the whole thing. With the software he had, he was able to triple his business without hiring a new employee, and he has been a client ever since. In fact, I just did some work for him this week! We still laugh about this, because he trusted her so much, he was ready to fire me!

You should have gone off yesterday. You could have avoided doing today.

Yeah - I forgot I posted one this week already...

Left off ?
Gone = left and left over
not fresh = off

You are up on Monday!
The answer is right, the solution is "close enough":
Gone, LEFT
but remaining; LEFT
it's powered down, OFF
but not fresh; OFF
it's missing altogether! (4, 3)
LEFT OFF (as in "left off the list").
Loads of clues for you all!

Hey @OriginalGriff
Months ago I was chatting tp you on here about a replacement Tab for the Nexus 7's we have in the house. Can't remember which Lenovo one it was, but it was a bit piss weak. So I ended up getting a Lenovo Tab3 10 Business for the Missus and a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 for me. Have stuck a 64GB and 128GB Micro SD card respectively in each.
I now have a bunch of eBooks from a free Microsoft give away, a Humble Book Bundle Cybersecurity Wiley purchase and now some Linux Magazines. These are in epub, mobi and pdf formats.
So I am looking at getting ES File Explorer Pro (currently $0.20) to get stuff on to the Tab from the network and am looking at you to recommend the software I should install to be able to read the different book formats I have.
Any other toys/utilities you want to recommend? Rugby League World Cup (reckon 80% of the players for all teams are actually Aussie) starts tonight so will be watching, drinking and playing with the Play Store and Android.

ES File explorer ... I used to love that. But it went all "crapware" and shart all over the machine with total garbage, so I don't use it. I was planning on upgrading to the paid version, but that annoyed me so much I replaced it with File Manager HD instead. It's not quite as friendly, but it does the job.
I use FB reader - it reads PDF, epub, mobi, pretty much anything I've thrown at it.
Other than that it's games, "Our Groceries" (shopping list app - works via a server so your list is shared between all devices, including the PC and Herself's tablet), WPF Office, and HERE WeGo for nav.

For $0.20 I'm still going to give the paid version a run.

I'll install this and see how well it goes.

I've got half a dozen paid for games that have hardly been used, won't be adding any more any time soon.
Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry to come back and rehash, but I am now installing. Do you use the Premium version of FB Reader? Do you think it is worth it?

I use the free version - the paid version doesn't add much (except the PDF reading I now notice, it used to). The WPS office does handle PDF well, as well as DOCX and XLSX.

Love the new handle. Did pub trivia on Tuesday and called our team the same thing. Wonderful to see the guy running it trying to say our name without it sounding rude! Hilarious.

I'd like my old one back but can't get it. Although I'm @Michael-Martin and was the first one of that name here, they have allowed someone else to take the display name after me. Maunder did put it back but left out the Bold and Italic mark-ups, bastard.

That's why I have used it here, I can just imagine the Yanks sounding it out in their heads and then light bulb, they get what it says.

Porky's (1981) - IMDb[^]
That's the first time I heard it! I recall the film was hilarious at the time but probably awful now.

Saw that when I was 14 or 15 on VHS, never laughed so hard in my life. Loved the Lassie scene where the old coach lost his suit sh*t and also where the female coach wanted a line up of student dicks.
Love that the Sheriff's real life name is Rick Butkus.

In the next couple of months, i will be working on a project that will require very solid understanding of DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), the formula language used throughout Power BI. It is also used by Power BI behind the scenes.
Do we have some good articles of this language on codeproject? I have looked around but can't seem to find any. Or does any one know of another site with excellent DAX material from where i can graduate as a DAX Ninja?
