The kids gave me an inexpensive drone for Christmas, which came with very little documentation – literally how to get it to go up and nothing on how to land it and turn it off.
I took it to the school yard to try it out. It went up as expected, controls worked well, and - um - landing ...
The manual said the auto-return button would bring it back from anywhere and land, so I pushed it. The drone shot a couple hundred feet up in the air and hovered there. (I may have disengaged the auto landing by pushing the button a second time.)
Anyway, my answer to the question is "Get a tiny cheap one and try it out."

Playstation I or II had some good radio control helicopter games.
If the controls are similar, you could save a lot of crashes with your drone. The controls took a super light touch.

Look for R/C flight simulators. They're almost guaranteed to have drones now. Many will also interface with an actual real R/C controller.

So, dusted off this not too old article - Email Clients[^]
I suppose if other people paid my bills, I would not care. So, other than Outlook, what are you using these days for email clients?

Outlook on PC, GMail on Android.
The Android version of Outlook doesn't want to connect to my email server, though Gmail dived right in and filled in all the details for me. One day I'll summon up the enthusiasm to fix the Outlook settings, but ... if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

On my laptop Outlook, Thunderbird on the Surface, whatever iPhone client is

Outlook, on desktop and iOS. And it's the "new" Outlook desktop app, despite its many annoying limitations.
I did briefly try Thunderbird, but it refused to show any of the folders I have set up in my mailbox, so it was a non-starter.

Outlook and Gmail, just had a lot of fun when Sharepoint was introduced in the office, we had to use a new Windows user profile and most settings were lost after support did the conversion.

If you value privacy, the Protonmail app on IOS and Windows

Agree, but I connect to it with Thunderbird, using the mail bridge.

I'm using Microsoft Mail on my PC, but refuse to upgrade to Outlook due to the ads. I tried upgrading but the number of times I accidentally clicked an add thinking it was an email was beyond irritating. Windows is becoming adware. Office Outlook stopped working for me a couple of years ago. Constant locking up and crashing. I should wipe and reinstall but in the end I just thought "why bother"?
macOS/iOS email client on my apple devices, web email everywhere else. I'm still pining the loss of Eudora.

I use whatever's the latest free Outlook client for Windows 10. Which is much better than its previous built-in client, but that's still not saying much.
Then once every two months or so I'll fire up the "larger" Outlook client (from Office) that I have running on another machine and clean up my inbox with it - meaning, what hasn't already been deleted will get moved to that machine's offline PST.
Which means, my multi-decades worth of conversations is archived locally, where it belongs, and not onto somebody else's mail server.

I have been using emClient (free version) for years and am satisfied with it.

|

This is the one I settled on. But I paid for it, the free client will only allow 2 accounts. I have 6 or 8 and it does everything Thunderbird would do only faster. Also the calendar integration is great.
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

I hate outlook because it keeps marking my read emails as unread.
I've been using the default windows mail client, which works well enough except when it comes to displaying HTML content in calendar entries (i have to switch to outlook or my web mail to click the links in them.
Unfortunately Windows is retiring it and forcing outlook on people, so i'm in the market for a new client. I'd like it to be lightweight unobtrusive, and seamlessly integrate with windows, notifications and such.
Meh.

try protonmail https://proton.me/mail[^] especially if you value your privacy. They have apps for IOS, Android, Windows and I believe Linux.
One thing I should add, Proton and their suite of apps: mail, calendar, vpn, password manager and cloud storage are all built by scientists and engineers at CERN. I like to know who is behind a company before using their products, and Proton are very upfront about who is running their company. https://proton.me/about[^]

I made the switch to protonmail about 4 years ago
during this time I have only had one unknown email
I buy some woodworking tools from Banggood in China
and just created a non linked additional PM account
they have never spammed me and if that happens I just delete the PM account
I am using the FREE version but I am sure the benefits of the other plans are
worth the price
You can sync your old email accounts with ease

Thunderbird... Ever since OutlookExpress was unsupported (Win8 ?). Just wish the calendar add-in was a bit [lot] more functional.
