Literally today it opened a PDF file with Edge for me. And, of course, file association page does not have a searh box to help find .txt among hundreds of useless and unassigned extensions.

Missing from the list: Win 10 periodically resets the "default applications", completely ignoring previous user preferences. Starts opening PDF files with Edge (argh!) or TXT with Notepad (double argh!). Does anyone know how to p

"they" usually write requirements for set top middleware and control the broadcast. the problem, i think, is not that it is difficult (Musk launched a massive electric car company and spacecraft to ISS in the relevant time frame)

The difference between physical goods and service is the cloud has a copy . One does not lose own copy of the data when service goes bust, and one can use multiple cloud providers for redundancy. But in this case, I think ToS are insuffic

I would have assigned a high probability to this outcome from the beginning. Why would anyone want to send their CDs (or any other valuables) to a third party without express guarantees for getting it back?
