They are all easy when you have the solution ...
Maybe we should turn them round: set the answer and see if anyone can come up with the right clue?

Now there's a thought

I an an eager updater and, you guessed it, I updated to latest VS this morning when I logged in to work....
Little did I know then how big a mistake it was....
While it seems fine at home as far as I can tell, at work our humongous 1544 projects solutions is freezing and crashing the thing all too often! Gone is my productivity today!
[EDIT]
Turns out, it's possible to sort of revert an update!

I have no solution with 1544 projects - only 381, but I'm using 17.4.0 (preview 1.0) and it seems to be stable...

We had problems too with C++ projects after an update some weeks ago.
My colleague who is specialized in video had to fix some C++ code so it would build again
As building "historic builds" are important for us, we are now switching to virtual machines for the builder so we can keep a VM backup of the original builder environment.

17.3.0 broke our builds.
Will wait for a more courageous gentle soul to test the new 17.3.1 here

It was in my pocket, ringing. Had no idea who was calling. Turned out to be a friend of my wife's who is used to missed calls.

When you're holding something together until the superglue sets invest in a set of small clamps from the pound / dollar shop ... They are useless for their advertised purpose, but brilliant for holding glue items safely.

The shattered curved surface of a front turn indicator housing, jigsaw puzzle. Extremely difficult to use any of the wide assortment of clamps round the house. Next best option would be sticky tape, which I considered.

Masking tape is better - it's designed to release really easily.

I would have used vinyl electrical tape. Also easy release, has the advantage of being a bit stretchier.

PVC bonds very well with cyanoacrylate glues, so it can be a PITA to remove cleanly if any seeps from the joint. Masking tape is paper based, with a non-setting glue so it's easy to get off (with water if really, really necessary).

I would have to say that is probably one of the most heinous responses possible. Even seeing it in response to questions I didn't ask raises my hackles.

I agree it would be heinous ... if only it were true.
I think the OP is trying to have a little moan about the quality of the answers they have received to their not particularly clear questions here. TBH as soon as I notice any QA posts from this member I just keep on scrolling past - this is my free time after all and I'm not going to waste it getting insulted.
Their reference to Linux is probably because they frequently forget to tag their questions properly or mention which OS they are using in their questions. They also frequently omit detail of code or of the error and tend to get tetchy when given perfectly viable advice e.g. ...back to the bluez ( library )[^] as well as the examples in other comments below.

Not to me personally, but there was a particularly annoying reply[^] to one of Dave's answers the other day. A perfectly sensible answer, to which the OP replied with angry vitriol and a suggestion to "not give up the day job".
That sort of response to someone who's trying to help is not a good way to encourage more people to help.
