Makes sense on ultrawides.

In which case, the question becomes: what percentage of users are actually using ultrawides? If it isn't >50%, then the default should be the setting most appropriate to non-ultrawides. Unless you're going to autodetect screen resolution and set the button's location appropriately.

This is not rocket science, but Windows has been blowing it for quite some time now.

I know, and it's terrifying.

You can't really blame them. It'll be a lot easier to pick up the pieces without a bunch of lookie-loos getting in the way (and they don't need even the occasional would-be looter, either). The visitors can wait until residents have settled back in and surviving shops and services are back up.

Only the first few words of this title were necessary: any Ontarian with a functioning brain is upset with Ford at this point.

Given that Disney's history with litigation and human rights is pretty vile, I am not terribly surprised by this.

That's because you lack the political will to fix the actual problem, which isn't an issue anywhere else in the world and has absolutely nothing to do with communications.

Build a Faraday cage into the walls so that only wired connections will work. Boom, no bans required. Actual necessary calls go through the office landlines, like they did in the 1990s. (Probably impractical, especially given the refit required for existing buildings.)

Thing is, there's still what you might call a stagnation space between "line goes up" and "must declare bankruptcy", one in which even a publically traded company can ride for a year or so without the shareholders getting too anxious while they wait for the line to start going up again. Yes, you'll get the occasional company cratering by doubling down on a bad decision made in pursuit of line-goes-up, but 240 of them suggests that there's something more going on here.

It may be that the issue is the "higher borrowing costs" that the article alludes to, and the way these companies have been conditioned to do business causes them to overextend themselves by borrowing too much. That means that the ones that stay afloat will be the ones that can correctly balance the risks inherent in taking out loans.

Today, the cost of residential construction is 81-per-cent higher across Canada’s major cities compared to 2017 and more than double – up 107 per cent – in the Toronto region, according to Statscan data.

And part of that's inflation, and the rest of it is . . . what? Higher property costs for unbuilt land? New environmental regulations? Increased municipal permitting and red tape? Companies driving the expenses up by building large detached houses no one can afford? A knock-on effect from industries producing building supplies?

Are the costs being driven up at a similar rate outside major cities?

A lot of people seem to hate her for whatever reason,

She was wealthy and in a position of power over something they cared about, which she managed in a way they didn't agree with. Some people have a hard time seeing people who are very distant from them and not part of their particular tribe as human beings.

Nevertheless, she was a human being, and presumably she had loved ones who are now grieving her loss. I don't want to think about what this vitriolic spew is doing to them.

Once you have more mice than cats, the cats can't win if the mice are sufficiently motivated to put in an effort. That's why mice still exist even though cats have been around for millenia—only one mouse needs to escape the net. (Well, okay, a breeding pair if you're dealing with actual mice, but it's a lot less than the total number of mice.)

Trust? No. But all they actually need is resignation.
