No wonder if it fails again. Highly egoed management pushes doomed Agile + vb6 in order to get it out to the market. On Err Resume Next couldn't save them again.

 Agile is died, they should try the brand new 'Let It Crash' concept, it is the new tendency. Oh, wait, they already did, literally...

Jeeze, have they heard of torrents?
The download performance is hundreds of percent faster!

Researchers at the University of Luxembourg have recently developed a new PGP management framework in which the key server infrastructure is implemented using blockchain technology. Pretty Trendy Privacy

Did they start another team to search for the problem?

Oh, be serious!
Blockchain is so last year, and PGP is a dinosaur!
It's not cloud-based or alexa-compatible, and it doesn't use AI.
These people need to get with the times!

New software "streams" data and code resources to an app from a cloud server when necessary, allowing the app to use only the space it needs on a phone at any given time. Data charges? What data charges?

How about removing all the crapware (even in vanilla Android)?
(Edit: How is it that a well known financial app that does a few actions and has minimal assets takes up 80MB? Even Android Calculator is 8MB.)

also, probably used a kitchen-sink third party tool like Xamarin, hence loads of garbage in the sink.

It's mostly this and very lazy programming.

Windows 10 does allow users to remap the keys on your keyboard with a few registry tweaks, but Registry editor isn’t exactly an easy tool to customize the operating system and bend it to your will, which is why there is a market for third-party software like SharpKeys that writes this information directly to the registry. Does anyone really need that Caps Lock key?

But will it have a fabulous icon?

Or you could just use sharpkeys, which won't consume 20% of your system resources, just to make the Pause button do something useful.

Other than opening a github issue at the entire powertools repo level is there any way to send MS feedback about the proposal?
I'm very interested in one of the stretch features:
Quote: Currently, there exists no plan to incorporate the creation of shortcuts for specific keyboards. Is this an expected use case?
I'm using a tool that AutoHotKey's forum recommended instead of AHK to map the keys on my macbook's built in keyboard to windows standard (Apple's hardware map has the modifiers mapped to match macOS behavior) without simultaneously reversing the order of modifiers on my external keyboard. Unfortunately that tool's driver appears to be buggy; and at least once a week when waking from sleep or plugging my dock in I lose all hardware keyboard function and have to reboot. 
A friend of mine has a related problem that being able to treat different keyboards distinctly would address. He's trying to learn a foreign language with a cyrillic alphabet; in Linux setting up one keyboard to use the US layout and the second to use a foreign one is only a few clicks. Short of using AHK or some other sketchy software to remap keys one at a time there's no way to do that in windows at all.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think the issues is the only real way - that's where most of the product teams have switched their focus.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the requirements, here, but Shirley it's just a matter of installing the input language drivers, then you can use a user-defined hot-key combo or click the Languages button (it turns up next to the system tray, when more than one keyboard is available) to switch to the one you want.
In win 7, it was all in the Region and Language settings (Keyboards and Language tab, click "Add keyboard", click "Add" in the new window, then select the language you want from the list that appears) (you can tell I've had to do this often). I've no idea (and, frankly, DGAF) where they've buried it in the godawful winio "settings app".

It's not a case of switching between layouts but of having them both active at once on different keyboards.
