There are some dark patterns in the setup experience that might cause that.

Turn off the "Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates..." and the "Suggest ways I can finish setting up..." options in settings.

I bet if you're having preferences change on you, it's because you're clicking ok or next without reading during these nag screens.

One of the lesser-known gems of Windows Phone was Contact-based reminders. You could tie reminders to people and be reminded whenever you interact with them. I used it regularly. Has this been copied anywhere else??

The specifics of their keyboard implementation were also really great. And that UI! The well-designed apps which followed their design language were so goddamn clean.

WP had many unique ideas but was always on the outside looking in.

I almost feel like they listened. Was this you, Deiter?

They did and I'm perfectly prepared to double down.
If I told people I used a password manager, and which one, I give a bad actor a target. I give a social engineer a thread to pull.
If I told people I had a bitcoin at an exchange, secured using a certain method, I'd be painting a target on me.
If I told people about a rock with a key under it, then I've given out far too much info. Sure you don't know where I live, but small pieces of info can add up quickly. It's flat out dumb telling people the details of your security. What form it takes, and what products or procedures you use. Just telling them what you're protecting is too much. Don't. It's bad security practice. Like it or not, I'm actually trying to be helpful.

I don't divulge my security practices publicly, online. That would be incredibly dumb.

Welcome to the expensive world of mechanical keyboards.

You're asking for a great deal of specificity. If there are any products that match that list, then that is likely the cheapest option.

If your aim is to convince the users still on the platform to leave the platform, then calling them morons is not a great strategy.

I wouldn't mind if the revolution paid me for the content that I produce. Would it be so bad??
