Should I allow google to manage my passwords? Do you?Yes, I use Google. I have a hard copy file encrypted and I keep Google's password strong and updated. I figure it's no better or worse than LastPass or another manager. I hate the "all my eggs in one basket" but what's really the alternative? I have over 500 passwords and every single one is unique, long, and complicated. I can't remember 5 of them let alone 500. I have to have some manager to help with it.

Stranger Things series 3 starts in less than 2 weeks ...It beat both regular Coke and Pepsi in all taste tests. It failed not because of the taste, but because of the nostalgia people had for the original version of Coke.

Let's REALLY make sure "4" isn't "5"The naming of
str
bugs me just as much. Ok, I know it's a string. But what is it? Calling it something likeinvoiceTypeCode
indicates it is a string and lets me know what I am looking at. -

Microsoft hatersYes, people should update. When they are ready. When they know their software will continue to work. The support for Windows 7 runs through 2020. There was no need to be this aggressive with it. Even Microsoft admitted[^] this was bad practice so I don't think I need to justify my opinion any further here. How do they not force their products down your throat. Edge is the default and other apps can no longer make themselves default. You have to override it. Run any search from Visual Studio or your start menu. It uses Bing. No matter what your default search is. You can't even disable Cortona. Do it, and run Wireshark. It still sends packets of data behind the scenes and cannot be disabled.

Microsoft hatersI hate them because I fell in love with WPF only to have them not support or push it. I hate them because I use Windows Media Center on all TVs in my home and I can no longer get guide data. I hate them because of their extreme push to migrate to Windows 10. I hate them because both of my parents computers automatically installed Windows 10 and I had to spend the time reverting it. I hate them for forcing Cortona, Edge, and all their own applications down my throat. I hate them for Internet Explorer. My only UI bugs in web apps start with "1. Open IE...". I hate them for being so late to the party on mobile. Windows Phone was great to develop for. And they blew it. With all that said... I still run Windows. I still love Visual Studio.

Chris Cornell dies at 52Really bummed myself. One of my favorites ever. I still miss Layne to this day and I doubt I'll ever stop listening to Chris. Hopefully Myles Kennedy doesn't go anywhere.
