Well THANK YOU for that. You win the internetz for today.
Which leads me to my next mobile pet-peeve: Discoverability.
Press and hold?
Top-left corner? Bottom-right?
Slide from any of the four directions?
Is it a Tuesday? Is the full moon this week? Do I have to stand on one foot?
And don't get me started on gestures. The only gesture I feel I should know about is the one involving the middle finger.
I like to think I'm no luddite, but I'm still finding unfamiliar things so much easier to figure out on a PC than any phone I've ever used. And then Android keeps moving things from one version to the next...

Press and hold link until the context menu comes up, at the top you'll see the link.
Works at least in chrome for android.

That's one of the most important reasons I use a VM
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

To be effective you have to shape it in the form of a hat and cover router.

That only helps to keep the government out (be aware that your WiFi enabled microwave won't work anymore though)

It may work under some conditions because the foil could act as a mirror to the radio waves.
On the other hand, because the wavelength of 2.4 GHz is about 12.5 cm, if the foil was close to the antenna, the reflections could cancel out direct radiation from the antenna in places. This would lead to hit and miss reception depending on the exact placement of the WiFi device.

Rabbit Ears would probably work just as well as tin foil, right?

This is not a programming question.
Very odd post - I am actually asking for opinions...
Please share your actual experience and tell your opinion
(in few words, do not want to take too much of your time )
what you recommend as
C++ learning book ( no u-tube, PLEASE ) written in
K&R style.
I mean "meat and potatoes" and minimal "click this /click that"
(got one already ) kindergarten picture book of 500 + pages.
Cheers

C++ is a far bigger language than C, so it can't be done in a small book. I learned it quite a while ago, so I can't give you a current recommendation. But the reviews of this book (by the inventor of C++) sound like it could be what you're looking for:

The direct comparison to K&R would be C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup This is a 1300+ page book, so it's not something you can get through in an couple of days, which gives you some idea of the difference in size between C++ and C. The book is also more a reference, whereas K&R is almost tutorial in approach.
Alternatively, there's Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo That dives straight into the C++ programming with STL. I found it very aproachable and easy to read. My only concern with this book is that it is a bit dated, having been published in 2000, with no newer editions having been published, so additions from C++11...C++23 are not covered (shame!)
I know you don't want YouTube suggestions, but I think C++ Weekly with Jason Turner is worth a look. It's not a course, but he does cover some of the ins and outs of C++. Most videos are less than 20 minutes long, and can provide some insights as to why, for example, you might want to avoid using std::endl.

I was about to recommend Accelerated C++, despite being out of date. It's really good at getting someone up to speed quickly.

I already recommended that one - great minds eh?

You know the rest of that, right?
But it's good to know AC++ is now available online. I did not know that. Thanks.

It's such a good book despite its age, so I'm not entirely surprised.

Sadly it appears that I no longer have the first edition. But it was quite a bit shorter.
I have the Annotated version which is only about 500 pages. In there Templates are 'experimental'.

Essential C++ [Book]
Looks like not many C++ authors are updating their books, but this is a consise introduction to C++. Covers a number of important topics, but dated 1999, previous millennium.

You do realize this dude is a narcissist? Yeah I know, what are the odds online... 95%?  But, if you give him an inch he's gonna be right back to asking programming questions in the lounge again. He don't care. He's playing a game to see just how weak we are.

Yes, I am well aware of what he is, but I would use a different word. I was instrumental in getting him kicked off the site for abuse a year or so ago.
