If mankind wasn't there to perceive the universe, would it still exist? See also 'constructivism' - [Constructivist epistemology - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivist\_epistemology)

Why the comparison with humans? If anything is intelligent and conscious, it is intelligent and conscious completely independent from us.

We use three NUCs NUC6i5SYK for software development, Windows 10, Visual Studio. Of course the NUCs have fans. Once I had to clean a fan (it was full of dust). Samsung 8GB DDR4 PC4-17000 (or 16GB) Samsung SM951 128GB (or 256GB) BenQ GL2450HM Video card completely sufficient. They are incredibly quiet and they use practically no power. Plus great customer support. One NUC had a hardware problem and was immediately replaced at no cost. We are absolutely satisfied with NUCs and can only recommend them.

We started to work with WPF and MVVM years ago and I am very astonished that people still use WinForms. WPF/MVVM really does everything we need (for our standard product for company users). And I never found it difficult to get other developers' advice and examples for WPF. We also have some UPW apps in the store, but I cannot find companies working with them. Btw, I understood, that UWP is based on .Net Core and therefore will survive, when the Win32 kernel will die.

The first question is, whether you move on to WPF. The next is, whether you move on to Universal Windows Platform (UWP). And then comes the Store question.

That escalated quickly.

covering all the areas that could be causing the problem would produce a question that was far too long

To be honest: as long as you cannot wrap it up, you don't have a problem but you produce the problem. Not only in the virtual world but also in real life.

Do you think the internet has a future? Do you think Microsoft has a future?

I would not think about it. I would do it. We did it, it is a paradise.

How can I prove I'm genuine? :) And why isn't there any rule in the guide for posting tips/articles concerning links to practical life? (I personally am VERY interested to know the environment from which the postings of source code come.) But I can stick to the rules. Why not? But why don't you tell us new authors in the guidelines for writing articles?
