A country preacher was very frustrated with the level of alcohol abuse in his congregation. There were several families that were really struggling, so he decide it was time for him to take action.
The preacher used every angle to discuss the negative effects of alcohol abuse in an emotional sermon. He pounded the pulpit, shook his fist, and argued his case.
Finally he wrapped up his sermon by saying, "If I could collect all of the beer and wine in this county, I would throw it all in the river."
With even greater emphasis he said, "If we could round up every whiskey, vodka, rum, and gin bottle in this county, I’d empty every bit of it in the river. Just to stop the pain and agony in our families in this area."
Finally he stopped, furrowed his brow and then motioned to the choir director, "Go ahead, close the service with the hymn."
The choir director had a look of anguish on her face. She was noticeably shaken as she dropped her bulletin to the floor, raised up her hymnal and said, "Well? Let’s all stand and sing #365. Shall We Gather at the River!"

In UWP, regardless of the device, you can't create a modal dialog that's wider than about 480 pixels.
So, if you're used to putting labels on the left side of your Text Boxes, it gets pretty crowded. So you find you can go higher (about 800 max pixels). So you start stacking labels and Text Boxes vertically.
Then you notice, even though you saw but didn't see, that the Windows 10 Settings all do the same thing; with a lot white space in the middle.
And that they don't use "Flyouts" (which act like "modal" tool tips that require "some" action to dismiss) and instead just insert "message" text directly into the "visual stack".
So, if you're still sweating over your Windows 10 screen layouts (like I used to), it's just all up and down now (with a scroll bar when necessary).
(I think it comes down to how people "swipe")

Maybe the Mickeysoft licence and Google translate can shed dome light on this. But only if you are in the United States or in a courtroom and the seller buys. 
Quote: If you are in the United States (or in a courtroom), see Section 10 of the chapter on handling and excluding each chapter.
Thank you for choosing Microsoft.
Depending on how you access the Windows application (1), there is an agreement between your operator and service provider or software tool (2) and Microsoft (or your company). If the seller buys (depending on Microsoft Office). If the company has its registered office. Microsoft is an important part of this, be it the factory or someone but a colleague. If you purchase Microsoft-supported Microsoft software.
But this harmony is maintained with the proper use of Windows. Or in terms of importance. It affects you. Therefore, we have read the full license to extend the license to extend the program. You can view this link by specifying the limit in Windows (also known as MS /).

My wife and I have no TV in the bedroom. I do keep my phone there but that's because it's also alarm clock.

A clock with a "painted dial" would be better. Sight and sound. Pendulum clocks are good but not in the bedroom for obvious reasons.

The guy who came up with that brilliant idea must also be guilty of recording vertical videos.
All my monitors are much wider than they're tall. I do have one monitor I've set up in portrait mode. Great for reading long pages of text, but just about everything else shows a horizontal scrollbar.
There must be a special breed of people I still haven't met, with their eyes positioned one on top of the other. They must be really goofy-looking.

... swapping my router from the ISP original to a Motorola MD1600 because the original is getting flaky.
Took me 3 hours. 2 of them to actually connect the stupid thing (the ISP instructions were wrong and needless to say Tech Support aren't available by phone), and 1 to connect all the devices: skybox, phone, surface, ChromeCast, Amazon Fire stick, printer, Sous Vides, Her tablet, Her surface, VR goggles, ...
But finally I'm back! Did you miss me?

Uhm, no. It was a little quiet here, but that's all I noticed.

Yeah! Don't you feel like a dinosaur when you're trying to solve a technical problem but you don't have Internet access?!
Just out of interest, why did you need time to reconnect all the devices? When I changed my router I just set up the new one with the same SSID and password as the old one and the devices didn't even notice.
(and YES, we did miss you  )

Partly because I've tried that before and had problems: some devices couldn't find the new WiFi under the old name, or complained it had changed. This was 7 or so years ago, I don't remember the full details.

Go wired, or be doomed to go through that ritual every time an ID changes. Plus, your connection won't drop when you turn on the microwave oven...

Wait, what?
"One of these is not like the others" comes to mind. Followed by "why does that need connectivity". Haven't we learned anything? This isn't three days old...

Yeah ...  I have four now ...
Three of them are Anova units and they can connect to your phone so you can monitor what they are doing and (better) start then off when you aren't home.
It's surprisingly handy: Cook a couple of kilo's of chilli con carne for example, freeze it in "two people" portions in vacuum bags, then stuff a bag in the sous vide when you go out. When you have an ide what time you will get home, start the sous vide off at 80C for 1.5 hours (1/2 hour for preheat, 1 hour for temp all the way through) then all you have to do when you get home is butter some bread and a quick supper is ready.
