@larand So help me, if you are trolling our bookkeeper, I am going to crush you.
It has been a long and trying day.
"I got this email from a vendor. They changed their name or something and it's all in French. Every time I try to open the attachment, I get a warning about something called macros."
Does this company, from Birmingham Alabama, typically conduct their correspondence in French?
"No."
Then it isn't from that company. Delete that and please refrain from opening strange attachments.
But, it SAYS it's from them!
It's going to be a long day. I can tell already.
Mental Note: Do not peek at a gaming forum after the government tests a emergency alert system. Good God.
Looking at changes coming in the October 2018 update of Windows 10
- Cortana being deemphasized in the search bar. GOOD
- Battery details for bluetooth devices. Why it didn't have that to begin with is anyone's guess. GOOD
- Magnifier improvements. No opinion.
- Increase text size without scaling everything else up. THANK YOU!
- Something new regarding the snipping tool. No opinion.
- Improving the clipboard. Always welcome. It always struck me as half-assed ever since showing up in Windows 3
- An aping attempt at iOS Messages (for Android phones). Not a surprise.
- An aping attempt at Apple Photos (for Android phones). Also not a surprise.
- Dark theme for Explorer. GOOD
- Windows Update to become less annoying with more notifications and options. GOOD
- Tool to see what their telemetry app is actually gathering. No opinion.
- Too to see what is in a problem report. Nice for edification.
- Block autoplay videos in Edge browser. About damned time.
- Attempts to make Edge an ebook reader. I have a Kindle and an iPad but okay.
- Emojis! Something I couldn't care less about.
All in all, a pretty good update.
@matigo I have my regrets about the children vs working thing. I'll say that much.
@larand The car stuff is a hobby and not work-related, at least. :)

@larand My dress code here coldest be described as, "Unkempt guy what holds cardboard sign on the interstate onramp."
Today, however, I am wearing a rather nice dress shirt and slacks to signal that I am not going to fool with working on cars in the warehouse today.

@matigo When work becomes life and vice versa, the problem takes care of itself…sort of.
@nitinkhanna That is annoying. As is setting my sound to 5.1 surround sound (I only have two speakers and a subwoofer) It didn't do it on this last update at least. This pleases me.
