But now they don't have to ask. About what you're cooking for supper or anything else. And for all practical purposes, you can't opt out. Which is why you should care.
But that's okay, don't worry your pretty little head.

When I use google maps to find a place I have the option to send it to maps on my phone - it works very well.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Quote: Weighing 1.4 pounds (655 grams) and 5.6mm thick, the Surface Neo uses the thinnest LCDs ever created, said Microsoft Chief Product Officer Panos Panay. Attached with 360-degree hinges, the displays have more than 60 microcoaxial cables running between the hinges, each thinner than a human hair, Panay said.
Sir, I congratulate you, and all the denizens of Redmond and elsewhere, and express my deepest sympathies, on/for the latest crop of hardware wonders !
Legions of bourgeois bloggers, fanboize, gurus/influencers (aka shills paid in hard/soft/ware and/or swag), and mere mortals whose lust for the latest shiny is never slaked, are, I am sure, rejoicing they have reasons to live.
I hope you'll forgive me if the what-could-go-wrong daemon in my psyche fixated on the information about the Neo: you wouldn't believe the amount of therapy that has been unable to tame that daemon !
cheers, Bill
p.s. please respond to this e-mail, so I can send you my address, so you can send my complementary Neo, and, thank you in advance for maxing out the ram and ssd.

I'm willing to bet it still outlasts Samsung's foldable screens.

"Hacked", or did you have an easy-to-guess pw?

Which means we have to send few bucks to your new Paypal a/c to see if it works?

Nah; we each charge his Paypal account a few bucks, to see if it's still hacked.

You hit the button by accident, and all your tabs gone.
I need another browser.

Have your tried Edge? I understand it's only ever opened one tab: "download Chrome" ...

Default browser in Win10, so that'd be Edge, yes. I'm not going to download spyware just to say I don't have a MS-browser.

It shouldnt be called as "Edge". It should be called a "Gateway".. to the real browsing experience. hehe

Search on "How do I restore tabs in <name-of-browser>?" If you keep history, you should be able to recover them.
Edit: My initial response was going to be, "You need to stop using tabs!", thinking that you were referring to tab stops!

Doesn't bug me they can be recovered; bugs me that Edge hides all tabs when I accidentally misclick.
This will not be the default browser for long, if this kinda crap goes on.

I use Firefox. It's not perfect, but I prefer it to Edge and simply don't trust Google.

|

"It's not perfect" reminds me of my marriage; I prefer something that just works.. perfectly.
Edge doesn't. Seems mozilla is the only client left?

I use both FF and Chrome (work) and Vivaldi (home).
FF's out of the box tab restore sucks compared to what Chromium browsers have. Unless you close it via the hamburger menu instead of via normal OS means it only saves the last window closed; so one accidentally pulled out and forgotten tab can nuke your recovery. As can some types of crash on startup or other failure to properly restore tabs on startup where the failure state ends up getting saved over your saved tabs.
I need to go looking for some sort of helper addon. I had one pre-quantum but the APIs refactor broke it and I've been vigorously procrastinating ever since.
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?
