Unless something has changed, your mobile can be tracked even if its GPS is off. It triangulates on cell towers with an accuracy of something like 50m. The capability was standardized to provide location information with emergency calls. Whether this location information is available to Google applications is another question, but I wouldn't short-sell evil.

It contains a set of smaller features and performance improvements. We’re continuing to work on the bigger features that will define the 5.0 release, some of which are starting to show up as initial designs at dotnet/designs. .NEtric Boogaloo Edition
"We’re running 50% of the .NET Website traffic on .NET 5.0 as a test case, using Azure load balancing." (In case you sometimes see oddness on the site?)

I wonder if the list of shit they delete without telling anyone is smaller, too...
I'm not being cynical - I'm being realistic, and am basing that on the many decades I've lived under the yoke of my oppressors.

Before removing something we should first seek to understand the reasoning and rationale for why it was there in the first place Is that they one that says, "The code is always greener in someone else's IDE"?

You mean like a comment in the code? How gauche!

Preach to the converted much?
I'm not sure I know many devs who thoughtlessly hack out chunks of code. It's kinda not part of the general developer mindset.

I appreciate the effort they've made, but both my parents have shuffled off this mortal coil, so I don't have to worry about controlling them, any more.

.NET coder? Have some free time? Ever wonder about helping out with open source? Want to get started on some low-hanging fruit? Now you can fix (their) bugs for (their) joy and profit!
Maybe give them a few new icons while you're at it?

Well, now we can't justify complaining about something because now we can offer to fix it for them.
First thing on the list - fix VS2017 so that it understands linefeeds in intellisense comments. (It works in VS2019), and everything before VS2015).
