Microsoft says it’s starting to test ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11. The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store. Trillion dollar corporation is so poor. They need more money by selling your data to the highest bidder. wtf? theverge.com/2024/4/12/2412864

@mort Some more from >>> stackoverflow.com/questions/11

1. Reflection works differently on fields vs. properties, so if you rely on reflection, it's easier to use all properties.
2. You can't databind against fields.
3. Changing a field to a property is a breaking change. For example:-

TryGetTitle(out book.Title); // requires a variable

Properties expose fields. Fields should (almost always) be kept private to a class and accessed via get and set properties. Properties provide a level of abstraction allowing you to change the fields while not affecting the external way they are accessed by the things that use your class.
