Never had a coffee in my life[*], and I just never started because I suspect I'd probably be the type who drinks 6 a day. There was a period of time in my 20s when I had 2-3 Coke cans a day, but thankfully gave that up. These days on my desk I have these extra-large plastic Subway cups that I refill with water 3-4 times a day. It's probably my saving grace.
[*] I've had chocolate-covered coffee beans, and I like the rush, but I intentionally avoid making a habit out of it.

Studies have shown it increases your focus and pattern recognition.
I usually have 2-4 large cups a day.
Multiple studies have shown the health benefits of coffee far outweigh the problems.
A word of advice, if you: start to get the shakes from the caffeine, then stop for the day.

Herself was printing little labels for the grandkids' Christmas gifts. The only suitable card stock I had for the labels was a light gray. We did not have any white stuff. She wanted pure white background, so she colored the background white using Illustrator and reprinted the cards, but lo and behold: The background stayed light gray.
She called me: "Why is the background not white? I colored it white!"
"Your printer does not have white ink."
"Why doesn't the printer have white ink?" she asked.
How am I supposed to answer that?

Combine "all" the colors, and you get white. (Don't tell herself to try that though; you usually get mud).

NO - that only works with additive colors (as in shining colored lights on a single spot). You're talking about pigments (ink) and this is subtractive. When you subtract everything your left with black.
Your monitor works (with respect to your vision) via additive colors. Your crayons and printers work as subtractive colors.

It was a "general knowledge" joke. I didn't want to bring spectrometry into it.

I have seen, some time ago, very high end printers that had colors like gold, copper, silver, and white in their array of colors. Inkjet, I think. Pony up a few $US thousand and she can do her best.

For a while, I've had multiple Win10 machines - my desktop and one or more tablets (Wookietab, Surface 3 Pro, Surface Go) and one thing has annoyed the heck out of me.
If I changed the KB layout on the Wookietab (because it had a US keyboard) or on the Surface 3 / Go (because the layout is ... not totally standard ... ) then it was reflected on desktop because I use the same MS ID to log into all of them. Which I do want to do, because it means I can restore files and so on because I as the one-and-only user own them regardless of the machine I backed up from.
And recently I've replaced Herself's Surface 3 Pro with a new Android tablet because she never got on with it, too heavy, too "not the same" as her Android phone, tablet, blah, blah.
So I'm repurposing it as a kitchen tablet for recipes mostly - which means I want "one touch open" for desktop icons.
And - you guessed - it syncs that with my desktop, where it's a total PITA! 
But ... I just found it:
Settings...Accounts...Sync Your Settings...Other Windows Settings
Turn that off, and it all stops. Phew!
It may not seem like a lot, but different devices have different needs, different hardware - so switching how that works because I did something on a different machine is very frustrating. Honest!

That's your "roaming data". When you create Windows 10 / UWP apps, you can specify in code what to roam, and it then handles it for you.
I would assume the setting only relates to Windows OS settings.

I keep getting nagged about "a problem with your account" in windows. This is one of the many reasons I have no interest in being "logged in" to to any Microsoft accounts.

Yeah - but it only happens about once every three days - so it's hardly annoying at all... 
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I see it every single time I log in and I log out every time I'm done. That's more like three times per day, at least.
If I want to be logged in I will log in and I see no reason what so ever to do so. It's the same with my damned phone. I don't use that for much beyond making calls but it thinks I should be logged in. I do not so I don't.
