I particularly like this definition. Moments like those I enjoy a lot.
A sentence with italics or any other emphasis should read exactly the same without that emphasis. Where the same isn't true of capitalisation.
Relating back to software as tools, this only works if you have access to the tool code.
There are three things driving me mad at the moment. One, despite having my audio muted I still get audible notifications for something, haven't figured it out. Two, volume control no longer works with my Jabra bluetooth earphones. Third, no amount of trying to convince Windows Explorer otherwise can I stop my downloads folder and it's sub-folders from going back to being grouped by date, which I hate.
This isn't a setting that allows admins to force a browser for security.
This is obviously about MS trying to force the uptake of Edge and nothing more.
Anything MS does that seems nice like TypeScript, C#, VSCode etc is the exception not the rule.
There have been no significant updates to sore points in Word such as: bullets and numbering that are convoluted to create and can completely corrupt; VBA IDE is probably unchanged since the 90s and the language itself has had little to no improvements.
Office 365 has only made things worse: collaboration features will randomly drop your formatting; auto-save can disable itself in some conditions; even with auto-save on, there can be significant lag between collaborators.
PowerPoint, years ago, lost the ability to record macros... it's still missing even though you can write macros and run them.
Don't even get me started on how much of a joke their "OpenXML" format is.
There's been so much potential in the Office suite that's been squandered by MS focusing on adding half baked features rather than making a truly solid product.
