You can separate stairwell and elevator hall/apartment hallway with an open balcony like they do in some countries. This way smoke from the rest of the building can't get to the stairwell. This is called smokeproof enclosure.
The real story here is about bad JS KeyboardEvent API. I think a lot of JS code in the wild does these incorrect checks and author's code after "fixing" the bug is still incorrect. When handling keyboard shortcuts you want an exact match, in this case you want to check that the only modifier used is Ctrl. JS API does not make that easy, you need manually check that all other modifiers are not pressed.
Why not just have time as close to solar as possible and move working hours as needed? I have always found arguments for permanent summer time very confusing. Just move working hours as needed, why do you need to deviate the entire clock from the solar time for that?
What I find frustrating about Microsoft Store is that it only shows you ratings and reviews from the same country you are from. For me most apps have one or zero reviews and maybe like 5 ratings.
Not everyone would be learning English as a second language. In many parts of the world you may need to know some regional language in addition to your native one, so English would be your third, not second language.

Would be cool to have an option to actually read those reviews. If I open Firefox page in the Store app it says 420 ratings but I can only read a single review. If I press 'See all' it just shows an empty page. If I open Firefox store page[0] in the browser it says 'No one has reviewed this application yet. Be the first to add a review.' Reviews seem to be split by country or by some other criteria for no good reason.
They are promoting tightly packed structs as fast. For high-performance language I would expect native struct-of-arrays support because structs are bad for CPU cache and SIMD.
The keyboard itself looks good but hardware vendors (including keyboard manufacturers) have a track record of making abysmal software. In fact, software should probably be their primary focus. From their FAQ it look like they want themselves to add support for every application. Will they have an SDK for other software vendors to add support to their applications? Being more open, e.g. making a github repo where anyone can contribute support for any application would be welcome.
