Visual Studio works well with that.

I write my articles in Notepad.
Sometimes I even write longer forum posts in Notepad.

there's a ton of formatting in this one though, including several HTML tables

I used a mix with mines. Wrote it in notepad, pasted it in CP Editor (as a draft) to use the preview and went back to notepad to continue / correct things as many times as necessary.

Yeah i think normally i would have tried something like that, but this just had so much formatting in it i decided not to to "save time" 
blew up in my face.
what i need is a good wysiwyg editor that makes simple HTML. I used to have one, and i can't remember what it's called now.
People keep talking about VS code, but does it do wysiwyg html?

I don't know, I wouldn't want that. I prefer to see the raw HTML.

Besides VS Code, MS still has Expression Web available free for download.
It was the replacement for FrontPage, and is more about the web design and less about the coding; and a lot less overhead.

You should have auto-saved drafts that you can go back to. If you need a hand recovering then send me an email (chris@codeproject.com). Which browser / OS are you using?
We use CKEditor (and old version) but we're in the process of upgrading. I'm assuming / hoping this will help with some of the more egregious issues.
cheers

I've long since rewrote and posted since it happened, but I appreciate the help!

Some years ago (before autosave was commonplace) I switched from one ASCII editor that might ask me "You have unsaved changes! Do you want to save them before exiting?" and I happily hit the "Y" key, to another one that asked me "You have unsaved changes! Do you really want to exit without saving them?". By a ten year old habit I happily hit "Y". Not so happily when I discovered what I had just confirmed. For a few months, I had the highest swearing frequency I have had throughout my life.

Hi all,
INTRODUCTION
I got a couple of KEF EGG loudspeakers that sound wonderful.
Those loudspeakers come with multiple connection options, USB, 3.5mm jack, optical fiber and bluetooth.
I never use the last one as I have them connected to my dock station using the USB port, taking maximum profit of the incorporated DAC they have.
ISSUE
Even the manual specifies that you must press and hold the button for 2 seconds to start a bluetooth connection (KEF EGG Quick Start Manual (Page 5 of 14)[^]) and that a little bit further the manual reads that while the pairing the loudspeakers lights blink slowly (KEF EGG Quick Start Manual (Page 8 of 14)[^]).
But it seems that while the loudspeakers are in stand by mode the pairing is free and automatic... no need to press any button or doing any action in the loudspeaker side.
For this reason my wife got a big scare as the loudspeakers started playing music at maximum volume suddenly while I was at a business travel as one neighbor decided to pair his phone with our loudspeakers.
The KEF technical support guy has told me this is "by design" and that I should unplug the loudspeakers to avoid this...
Given I have spent 400€ with the loudspeakers and that they sit on a sit/stand desk, in the back of two 24" monitors and the plug is under a lid, you can imagine how happy I am now...
Of course I'm worried that: I could get my loudspeakers broken given a happy neighbor can decide to get them playing at maximum volume at will, I can have legal problems because the loudspeakers could start playing at maximum volume during nights if I'm not home, we can get scares at any moment.
QUESTION
Is there any rule on the bluetooth 4.0 protocols/specifications that force the pairing process to have some human participation (pressing a button, entering a password...) to be able to establish a connection?
Thank you very much for your answers.

have you tried turning your mains power on and off? (perhaps just in case the water too.)

Yes, of course! I've went to the street and removed all the trees too, but it seems after putting them again in their place the problem still happens.
Thank you lopatir for your help.

Well, there's your problem.
Trees don't connect to your speakers, your neighbors do.
Leaving the trees alone, but removing your neighbors will definitely solve your problem

I'll let you know the result.

Having just read the wiki on Bluetooth there does not appear to be any mandatory password protected handshake required.
One concern I would have is if the speaker also has a microphone.
I have a bluetooth speaker that has a microphone (Betron KS808) and I leave it switched off when not using it partly for this reason.

Yes, but in this case, the power off button put the loudspeakers in standby... and in standby they accept pairings, and once paired... they can start them up at full volume...
I'll have to end up putting a switch there that allow me to unplug them comfortably each time I don't use them.

I don't think a good or secure design is any legal obligation.
Can't you return your loudspeakers, get your money back and get another one?
This is definitely a defect in the product, even if it's "by design".
I'd raise some hell over this over at KEF EGG and write a bunch of VERY negative reviews on Amazon, their website, etc.
If they don't comply (although I think there ARE laws for that) you could even find a leading news website and threaten to share your story.
It may somehow be in conflict with GDPR if it has a mic or remembers some of your preferences for example.

Don't know if the shop will allow me to do this because it's been one year ago... The problem appeared one month ago +/-.
I'll contact them again to see if they can offer a firmware update to solve this, but given their initial answer this is "by design"...
I guess the only real option (after sending a last mail to them, and paying a visit to the shop to try to return them) is doing what you suggest...
A real pity because the sound quality is amazing.

The #InternetOfShit isn't limited to devices with wifi/cellular connectivity. Any sort of wireless link is sufficient.

I've worked with Bluetooth (classic) and BLE (Limited Energy) a bit with Android, Arduino etc.
The only relevance that may have to this is that it _should_ be quite easy to open up the speakers and de-solder the connection for the Bluetooth device. You _should_ be able to disable (desolder) the Bluetooth component if you can get into the speakers.
However, the problem may be with opening up the speakers. I know a lot of times with consumer products they basically have no way in without destroying the outer appearance. Is this a possibility? Can you get into the electronics without destroying the appearance. If you can you can surely remove the Bluetooth capability and still have functioning speakers.
BTW that is unfortunate that is such a terrible design.
