Past practice indicates we don't fix bugs that are only indicated by artificial input. But I'm the area lead of this thing now. But we don't have manpower. So we'll see how it works out.
And the reason we don't fix bugs based on artificial input is that nine times out of ten it's incorrect. As it was here.
I still don't quite have my reproduction but I'm closer.

Used to be @Tufty's avatar.

I think that's a 'shop similar to the one @tufty (I think) had as his avatar for a while. I think it's a leech's mouth, or something like that.

IIRC, his avatar was just a single fingertip. Either way, they're creepy.

Status: Had a visitor at work today from another university. It was a show-and-tell session where we were comparing notes on how to do data management in an academic research project (in life sciences; things are very different in other disciplines). Interesting but very wearing. Apparently, we're doing a lot of stuff in very similar ways once we trim out the BS. The state of products in this area is… imperfect. (For example, Benchling looks interesting in many ways, but is missing lots of key features for integration with the larger context of a research lab. And there's very little for doing good management of semi-structued data streams in the scale of 1TB/day coming off single instruments; couriering that many disks starts to get expensive.)
But thank goodness that's done. + = Why no white wine emoji? Red would totally overpower a nice piece of hake…

If it helps, no actual fingers were harmed during the creation of that image (as far as I know).

It's the same reason why you can have your whole household packed into boxes and across the country in one or two days but then face unopened boxes months after you have moved in.

Oh, that picture. Yeah, not "serious physical damage". And it's not a leech's mouth. It's a lotus seed pod.

Somewhere there's a thread talking about Windows 10 active hours - but that means searching for it...
From the Window's Blog:
Expanding the Active Hours default range: We’ve heard the feedback that you like the control Active Hours provides over when your PC restarts for updates, however feel that that the default 12 hour range on PC is too limited. We want to accommodate various enterprise environments and schedules including those where employees have double shifts, so starting with Build 14942, we’ve changed this range for PCs on Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions to 18 hours. ... PCs using Home edition will continue to have a default range of 12 hours.

So in other words, MS assumes that only one person ever uses a particular installation, and that they must necessarily have a six-hour period daily consistently during which they're not using it. Classy.

Well, they do have to allow for enough time for slow machines to complete their multiple-reboot cycle :)

Does it continue to run in the background when "closed", hosting so-called "Background apps"? No? Then why would it have a tray icon?

Just wanted to point out that you could switch to it if you wanted to minimize tray space usage.

.... I could also not run all the other programs that put other icons in the tray (ahem, sorry, system notification area), such as VLC, Synaptics, Intel Graphics, Citrix Receiver, DisplayFusion, Twitch?, Discord, Chrome, Some remote server thing, Slack, Windows Defender, Microsoft Sync Center, NumLock, Scroll Lock, Trackpad enablement status, and Hangouts.

For me, Hangouts doesn't use up tray space. Instead, it uses up the bottom right corner of my screen and covers half the minimap in whatever game I'm playing. And also a bug in Windows 10 means the taskbar no longer hides if I'm running Hangouts over a fullscreen windowed game.

Huh. I noticed that glitch too, but it only happened after I got a text and Hangouts decided I needed to see it. Bad App behavior, I say.

It showed up after I installed the Windows 10 anniversary update and still hasn't been fixed, presumably out of Microsoft's spite for Google.
