it's why you can't name files certain names such as CON

To expand on this: The reason you can't name files CON, etc., is because of a program from the 1960s called Peripheral Interchange Program (PIP), a program used in Digital Equipment Corporation's computers. The overall OS that PIP was part of was called CP/M.

DOS, which came out in the 80s and was made for IBM computers, was modeled after CP/M, and it kept and expanded the capabilities of PIP.

Then Microsoft came along and created a modified version of DOS called MS-DOS which IBM started using.

Eventually, Microsoft created Windows 95, merging two initially separate products: MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. Microsoft left in the code for handling CON, etc., but they hadn't put in any limitations for filenames, which caused some bugs. So, from the next version of Windows onward, they disallowed the ability for anything to name a folder or file "CON", among other related things.

So the reason you can't name a file or folder "CON" is because of a 60-year-old file-copying program nobody uses anymore.

Yes, actually.

Well, it's more like they update the old stuff and still add new stuff on top of it. That way, generally speaking, Windows can remain compatible with older programs.

And I just really have no idea how they have made stuff like resetting networking/connection issues worse over time.

While I generally agree with your comment, they did add an option (don't know how long it's been there) where you can right-click on the Internet icon, click the troubleshooter, and there's a button immediately right there in the troubleshooter to reset the adapter.

Remember when they planned to move over all the Control Panel settings to the Settings app?

In Windows 10?

Originally, before I posted it, my comment had something like "inb4 someone says you're making it sound like a great idea".

I really should've kept that in there.

Actually, Steam is usually one of the best places when it comes to refunds. The process is simple, and they're willing to make exceptions to the rules. And the company is run by one of the few CEOs in the gaming industry who seem to actually understand gaming.

If the motors need to cool down, they need to rethink their motors.

Only do it if it's supposed to be part of the wedding. Otherwise, don't do it. It would be very disruptive and distracting and could make an otherwise beautiful moment very awkward. And it'd be something the bride and groom would have to remember for the rest of their lives every time they put on their rings.

Does it block the word "Musk"? Is it case-sensitive? Honestly curious, especially since some of these last names can refer to either the person or a noun.

If Twitter's a video-first platform, then Twitch is a text-first platform.

I'm betting it's because Pixels have some unique hardware/ software quirks or something.

Is the EU mostly manual transmissions?

In the US, seeing a manual transmission these days is somewhat rare. I used to work at a car dealership's service department as a valet, and most of us younger guys who'd never driven a manual before had to get someone else to drive it whenever one showed up. (That happened maybe once a month or less.)
