Started my MS Surface Go (from sleep) today; MS was busy the previous night with the "new Edge" updates (There is already Edge on the device so why it should be "new"?)
After logging in, the first thing is you get some Office / Edge update prompts ... except they're full screen / scaled wrong: no close buttons ... no buttons, period. Can't slide, scroll, whatever.
Rebooting gets you through as series of updates until you just get Edge prompts ... ignore, ignore, ignore.
Other stuff now seems OK, except Edge ... incapable of adapting to screen resolution. So "big", it's unusable.
(Did my grandma get all that?)

First mistake - buying hardware from MS.

The device is great; it's the MS update (and verification) process. Obviously didn't test their changes on their own devices.

New Edge is the Chromium based version that is replacing the original Edge.

Ah ... thanks for that.
I hate browsers: I've seen Firefox chomping at 8GB on my 16GB machine.

Along with a theme song, Microsoft's QA avatar should be the Steven King "It" clown. More synchronicity.

I had the same thing happen to me on my desktop machine.
Instead of doing what the prompts wanted me to do, I switched to Task Manager and just closed the offending process.
Heh heh, I'll bet they didn't expect me to do that! 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I had no keyboard (tablet); and no task / tool bar; just some truncated text on a full-screen / background something. Only the power button worked. No other issues since I got it. Use it to test my UWP apps for adaptability. (Irony)

Ask the Coca-Cola(tm) company about their New Coke. If you're old enough to remember that. There's good reasons not to pretend it's the same product.

Is a book club just a novel tied to a stick?

Apologies in advance if I am asking something basic here. Does the above quote hints at book clubs are for old age people only?
If so, I am not too sure it fits into thought of the day as such for any reason to me.

"TotD" is a pun starter thread, not intended to be taken seriously.
It started out as a "daft question" daily, but the puns were preferred so I stick with that.
And no, I'm not going to try an explain a pun - jokes are bad enough!

Oh gawd, NOOOOO! Tell me it's not true.
At least they are all still alive, so we can hope they get back to together ... maybe we could ask Elvis to mediate with them?

I think you're thinking of a knitting circle; (computer) book clubs are for nerds / people of all ages.

That idea is just maced up, but perhaps we should take a pole?

We have a book club in our local branch library. It is so old that most of the original participants have dropped off the twig, or turned over a new leaf.
