I find it interesting that Windows has always gone out of its way to refer to items as "My Computer", "My Documents", "My Pictures", etc...
But now that this is for Android, suddenly it's "your" phone. Like it's a (not-so-subtle) disclaimer...
Incidentally: I'm one of the 3 people still using a Windows phone. Would it have killed them to throw in support for their own?
Not that I'd use the app anyway (based on what I understand it's for) - my phone doesn't have a SIM card.

I have a Samsung and have been using SideSync for years. It displays the phone screen on your PC and allows you to access it via the mouse and keyboard. What MS came up with is second rate.

Yes, Sidesync worked very well, but I'm interested in the calls feature... that did not worked with my Galaxy S7...
Being able to find a number in the internet and starting a call from your computer rocks.
The problem is that while the call is running the phone uses the main speaker and microphone... so no hands free...
I have not seen the Samsung Flow (I think that was it's name) software, so I can't say anything about it...

This works pretty well until you have multiple bluetooth devices in play on your phone.
Then you get disconnects.

Useful for tax time as well. I had to submit a copy of my car's registration to the State of Colorado to claim the EV tax credit. Pulled the registration out of the car, snapped a picture of it, and used this app to grab it off my phone.

It's normal to have preferences, and to not want to see things that go outside those preferences, but there is more than one set of preferences, and there is so much oppressively divisive behaviour and talk in the West, these days, that the norm for communications is more and more becoming "I Hate [enter a group of people here]!"
IMO, there is nothing wrong with CP. It has 14,435,318 members (and counting), and they can all read the bits they want to read, and not read the bits they don't.
Kudos for changing your approach from "I Hate!" to "I'll just read the bits I want to read, and bugger the cr@p I'm not interested in". Being bigger than the hate talk is good for everyone (all 14,435,318 of us).

Try not replying to your wife and see how well that works!

I've ordered pizza.
And I don't like pizza, so you can have the lot.

Turn your ad blockers off and the images will show up. 9 times out of 10 this is the issue.

It may be a security thing, e.g. some sharing sites are not quite safe enough, and images have to have an https address.
If you upload your images to the CP repository, alongside your article (I can't remember how, off the top of my head, but I do remember that the option was easy to find and carry out), there will never be any problems.

Now I have to restructure some performance critical code entirely because of the lack "break" statement.
I'm angry at their lack of effort.

If it had a break statement, it would probably follow C++ and overload it. 
But surely it has...you know...goto.
|
|
|
|
|
If does have goto, and i'm seriously considering it at this point

Well, when there's a reason, and it's thought out properly, there's nothing wrong with a goto.

I think the reason would hopefully be better than "someone at microsoft slacked off"

Just document what the goto is in there for. Even Dykstra said goto has a place.

Do it. break is just a thinly-disguised goto anyway.
