But why do they do that?

The irony is that the MS Lumina 950XL WP which I bought to tide me over to the Surface Phone (good luck with that, eh?) has a USB-C port.

Seems every year, there is a news report about MS dropping the Surface line. Given that, I wouldn't buy one as who knows how long it will be really in support.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Yeah, no. I reckon Surface will be here for a while.
Except I'd personally be happy for them to throw it all away because they didn't include USB-C in their latest and I cannot let such a lame decision go. Where's the vision, guys? Where's the 1/2 oz of courage?

I found it interesting, looking through the examples, that the Perl/Ruby example is substantially longer than the other examples. And then there is a Ruby (Simple Version) which is almost the shortest one on there.

I once took a class and learned how to speak in smoke signs. I thought I aced the class but when it came time for a final project, let's just say that there are some tribes that no longer speak to each other now.

You mean "C# on .NET" of course!
There is nothing it can't do! Bill Gates told me that personally.

Ya, I forgot the connection. Tried it again, several times.
What's weird is it will sometimes connect for a minute and then disconnect. Then reconnecting it says the password is not right, although I know it is.
Very strange.

Given the list of problems Apple's had with their last 2-3 updates, not strange at all.

connect then disconnect usually indicates the security settings don't like each other (ssl, tls...), sometimes the "default" or first "auto" option changes in updates.
I mean jus saying possibly is an apple update thing but OTOH haven't heard of many other apple users having this problem.

My wife had the same problem on her (older gen) iPhone.
She finally had to do a complete shut-down (not restart) and then power back up.
When she did, the wifi started working again.
Come on, Apple! You're better than this...aren't you?

So .. she turned it off and back on again?
Does she work as tech support?

Funny thing is that she accidentally called Microsoft Tech Support* about her iPhone and they gave her the advice.
MS Tech: "Have you tried rebooting it?"
*Yes, I'm kidding.

Not sure what that is but I'm sure I can figure it out.
I've only had the iPhone for about 6 months. And I don't see why people like the iPhone. It is NOT very intuitive. And Siri voice recognition is not very good.

For some reason she had to turn off her iphone instead of choosing restart.
She left it off for 30 seconds.
I'm not sure this is what fixed it and why it would be different but it did work after that and she had restarted twice before. 
Good luck.

Well, at least you don't have to worry about any more updates.
