The U.S., China, and about 100 companies are poised to capture the majority of the world’s data, according to Microsoft. But despite being one of the beneficiaries of that data divide, Microsoft says it wants to close it. "Sharing is caring for someone else."

I love my friends
And they love me
And because we really care
Whatever we get, we share
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?

Next week marks the 30th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope’s launch, and NASA’s celebrating its birthday with another launch: a new search feature to find out what out-of-this-world photo Hubble captured on your birthday. "My God, it's full of stars"
Well, not exactly "on your birthday" (especially if you were born before 1990, but more like, "the best photo from each day of the year"

Strangely, I have a birthday every year.

Back in August 2019, Microsoft announced that it would be bringing the Notepad app to the Store, allowing for faster and more responsive updates to the much-loved app. Oh, finally. I've been looking for a good text editor
Especially one with the ability to text-zoom. /eyeroll

Notepad.exe has been going for years without updates; the current "improvements" are not enough to get one to download notepad since there's better products out there at the same price (free). It's only advantage was that it was part of the system, and as such, you'd always have it preinstalled.
If it is not preinstalled, it is not worth the effort of installing.
IMO, "updating" the application with those new features is a waste of money and resources

Many other "text processors" keep the original format.
I do use it as a mid-stop to avoid moving propietary formats between applications, and for that is one of the best I have seen
Additionally this helps to spot weird chars in URLs too
If they haven't changed that... I think it still is worth the download.

Any textbox can do that; you could use the CodeProject forum for that even - just remember to not submit your clipboards' contents

Scientists manning gravitational wave detectors have reported picking up on vibrations from a distant cosmic collision which eerily harmonizes with the opening chords in Elvis Presley’s 1961 hit ‘I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You’ Elvis never died, he just returned to the stars

And it seems likely that what is said today as reportage will tomorrow be thought of as comedy.
