I don't bother with that; I 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 the sites that make me go to multiple sites to block their cookies (even though I've probably already blocked most of the third-party cookies).
What these sites don't seem to realise is that they need us more than we need them. For every site on the Interwebs, there are dozens of alternatives we can visit instead, but the number of people willing to visit each site is finite.
Every site you block, every clickbait link you don't click, is a lesson to them.
I even have this line in my hosts file:
0.0.0.0 google.com www.google.com subdomain1.google.com And you know what? The Internet works just fine, for me -- and is really fast, without all their ubiquitous "analytics".

... And stops your computer downloading any files from that domain.
If a site is blocked, you can't get any cookies from that site, and that site can't access your machine to read any cookies.

Easier way is simply to not open the webpage, or disallow cookies in the browser. Blocking access to a site just for "cookies" is a little bit weird.

Quite possible : we have to listen to Microsoft's messages.
Any difficulty to use Visual Studio on it ?

Well, why not, I do not see it ...
How do I send a screen copy, do I host it on cjoint.com ?

I use Windows 10. I have next to see the vendor about a few problems, and then make some place for a Unix partition.

It was fun; didn't seem to make sense to get a mail with "quote selected text", and could almost feel your frustration after.

If you work with their product, you'd better.

Host is anywhere and include a link here.

You don't have to; install any pendrivelinux-supported distribution on a USB stick and give it a try.
As for MS forcing you to login to use your OS; it is their product. If you don't like it, then don't use it. Won't make major companies suddenly switch to Linux; your own choice.

For sure. And if their message is "hurry up to install another system", it is somewhat destabilizing.

Here it is

That is also a possibility. But maybe I have to change my machine next, and so that is the occasion to reserve some place on the disk.

Sure. I also have a magnifying glass I bought by the optician, but I feel this is not a normal way to access a key part of the system.

You haven't bought a product, but a software-license.

A movie from 1929 that shows the launch of a three stage rocket to fly to the moon. Earlier in the movie they even showed the flight path of the rocket through the Lagrangian point[^]. And the movie uses a countdown for the first time.
Rollout[^]
Launch[^]
It's more a self fulfilling prophecy. The advisor for the movie was Hermann Oberth, rocket scientist and Wernher von Braun's teacher.
Here we have the decoration on an A4 rocket from 1942, which references the title of the movie: Woman in the moon[^]

Sure he did, but he shot them there with a cannon. What was his plan to get back home, assuming there was no cannon conveniently parked on the moon?

Well, I never read the book, but it seems the plan was to land on the moon but instead they got into an orbit around the moon and landed in the Pacific Ocean.

It featured a mouse travelling to the moon. There wouldn't be a movie about that in English until 1963!
I don't remember the part about using a divining rod to search for water on the moon. Now I'll need to watch it again.

One of my childhood books was the 1963 vintage "The NEW Junior Book" from the Readers Diggable. It might be something published by the Norwegian publishers of the Diggable, but I assume that it was published all over the US dominated world, in different translations (like most books in this class were, in those days).
One of the digests in this book is "Summary of 'First Men to the Moon', (c) Werner von Braun 1958, 1959, 1960", filling no less than 14 large-format pages. I was immensely disappointed when I first discovered that this was a made up history - noone had ever been on the moon! And then, people did land on the moon, but it wasn't at all like the story from Readers Diggable! ...
Then, with Apollo 13, history took revenge! The Werner von Braun story of the meteorite punctuatinhg the space ship created a drama not that different from Apollo 13!
The Diggable book says nothing about where the Werner von Braun story had been published earlier. Maybe it was created for this book alone, 3-5 years earlier, and never published anywhere else.
