Code and graphics aren't the only things that people create on computers. There's word processing, spread sheets and various kinds of financial programs to be considered as well, none of which are practical to be used on a phone's tiny screen.

I never understood PINs being part of Windows Hello.

First of all, PINs are often shorter than an average password.
Second, the PIN length is fixed, making it even easier for an attacker.
Third, the PIN address space is often fixed to digits, making it easier for an attacker.

I know if I was an attacker, I'd prefer an 8 digit PIN to a variable length password, that may (not must) include uppercase, lower case, numerical, or special characters.

That said, i have had pretty good luck getting them to generate Python code. Never working right away, but you eventually get to that point iterating.

And how long does it take, start to finish, compared with how long it would take for you to do it from scratch?

When did Windows get virtual desktop support? Back when I migrated to Linux, about 20 years ago, I learned to use and love them. I showed friends using Windows what they were, using my laptop, but none of them were the slightest bit interested in them except as eye candy. I was once told, in fact, that Windows users "couldn't see the point" in having them. If it's taken this long for them to start to catch on, it's a clear indication of why Windows is concentrating on meaningless, useless changes: their target audience is mostly made up of people who can't adapt to change and wouldn't want to if they could.

Given a big enough body of water, it will float.

Yes, and so would Saturn. Of course, in Saturn's case you'd have to ignore the fact that it's a gas giant although it does have a small rocky core surrounded by a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a biologist of any type, but as a layman...

I'm guessing that smaller fish had a better chance of escaping from the nets, so the next generation tended to be smaller.

Different political environment. With the WTFs coming from Washington, this appears to be politcally motivated ("digital independence") as opposed to the previous (Munich) effort's financial motivation.

It would be difficult for MS to offer big enough discounts to cover a decree of "No Software From the USA"

Not always. Type I can be triggered by a serious childhood illness. As an example, I had a good friend who contracted rheumatic fever when he was three, and spent the best part of a year in bed. His parents ended up moving from the north east to southern California because he was too frail for the winter climate. It wasn't long before he was diagnosed with diabetes.

And, there's also LADA, which is just like Type I except it manifests in adults. That's what I have, and the root cause for it was exposure to Agent Orange, back in '72.

Or, to keep me warm on those long winter nights, espresso with a shot of bourbon should do the trick.

I see. My father had 1% vision in his left eye, but he was drafted for limited service. Of course, that was during WW II.

That was SPEX's evidence and theories.

Nah, they'll get a coupon for $10 off a WD drive.

So am I. In my case, my hearing loss and tinnitus was caused by exposure to too much "outbound" back in '72 when I was in the Navy. One morning, I woke up and learned that I'd slept through a 40 round shore bombardment. What's your story?

It's impossible to make anything idiot proof, because idiots are so ingenious.
