Agreed. Many high security locations epoxy the USB ports.
Many years ago, I worked on an USAF Afb supporting and developing for Vaxes. The DOD ran a security sweep doing two things. First, they attempted to penetrate any system they saw on the network. At the time, they could not get past the VMS security, but they found numerous Unix machines wide open with unpatched issues.
So, they hacked in, modified the login screen or some other obvious place to say something like "You've been hacked, please call the base security office (insert phone # here) immediately!"
And then they waited. And no one called. I think a key part of security is simply paying attention.
The also did another test. They created many thousands of infected USB drives and leave them in parking lots, bathrooms, etc. Even though security protocols dictated to turn in these devices to security, it was uncanny how many really smart people shoved them into their machines, cause, you know, I just got to know.

I have an old service manual app for my old car (1999) that comes in a XP virtual machine.

Yeah, we still have some XP in a local LAN in the field... I suppose those will stop working first, when the hardware says: "until here and no more"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Nope - but I'm interested to know your thinking

food => beet
limited edition => LE
flier (def) => beetle (some of them, I think)

I was working with "LE" or "ED" for "limited edition" but got nowhere.
So what was it?

In the "old" days, you "clicked" (mouse); or perhaps double-clicked.
In UWP, we don't have (much of) a mouse; we have a "pointer"; and we "Tap" or double-tap; which generally can also be handled via Click. (The trolls get excited when you suggest tapping instead of clicking in certain instances)
Now the UWP double-tap, is actually a triple-tap: first the (single) Tap fires (if implemented); then the double-tap (if implemented). So, if you plan to handle both; you need to be aware of both.
My scenario was that if one Tapped a particular user control, it was "selected"; tap it again, and it became unselected.
I decided that a double-tap would select / deselect all of the same type. So, what happens now it, the first tap selects / deselects; then the Double-Tap sender is the original One-Tap sender which is now selected / deselected and enabling a cascade of the original intent.
(If you implement single-tap and not double-tap, all double taps become multiple single taps; but the double-tap does not override a single-tap. And implementing a drag, required implementing a "pointer pressed" versus a Tap)
Seems totally natural, somehow.

I dunno man. For any fan of Spy Thrillers, double-tapping has a whole other meaning. I think you might have to be careful where you say something like "Just double-tap it!", just like when meeting your friend Jack at the airport it might not we wise to say "Hi, Jack".

His signature clearly explains he is against that practice - it is also less defendable in court.

OK, Let me be sure I have this straight. If you implement both tap and double tap, and then you double tap the control, it raises the tap event and then the double tap event?
How is your code supposed to respond to the double tap appropriately if the single tap also happens, and happens first?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I've never worked on this kind of interface but am keen to guess.
I assume the double tap has to undo the effect of the single tap when necessary. The generator of the double tap appears to run a timer that raises the double tap event so that the recipient doesn't have to do this. Presumably the single tap event is raised first so that the user doesn't have to wait for the timeout, which could be annoying.

Yes; (single) tapped fires first and then double-tap fires; if both are implemented.
Double tap may or may not care what happens in single tap; that's up to the programmer.
I think we're used to thinking as "click" and double-click as being mutually exclusive. At one time, I think we may have had only single clicks, and we had to do the timing ourselves and decide when it should be handled as a double.

You totally lost me with all the tap dancing. Luckily, I do not do UWP.

Assumption only - I have not touched UWP.
There should be a time setting between single and double tap!
If you get a single tap then the state should toggle.
