I remember a PC (286) brought in for repair that had blown a fuse in the power supply.
Nothing was visibly wrong, so I replaced the fuse and jokingly said, "Well it's either going to work, or it's going to explode".
I turned it on and the CPU promptly blew itself to bits. Literally "Bang" and the CPU was a few shards stuck to the pins (286 was soldiered directly to the main board).

People make mistakes, that's why we automate things. If a system relies on a human not making mistakes it is doomed to fail eventually.
Saving manually should be a feature, but autoaave should be on by default these days, unless 30+ years of people losing work due to not hitting "save" manually has taught us nothing.
Crashes happen. Errors happen. Pets and children happen. Any major document editor should be able to auto save and replay a very long history of actions.
Improve the system, because you can't improve people with a code patch.
Does owning commercial property count as business? Trump Tower probably has some shell owner.
I'm on HFC ... It's all I had before NBN, it's all that's available now.
I'm in inner-eastern melbourne... I hope everyone that had a part in screwwing us all over steps on a Lego taking the bins out and gets garbage water in their mouth.
As an individual with Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, and ADHD, that works in IT...
This policy is incredibly ableist.
Glad I don't live there.
"Just ask for directions"... have you ever tried asking a french person for help as a tourist? A lot of restraunts won't even serve you, even if you're speaking French.
A massive swathe of current gen devices don't even support it.
It won't be a month.
Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.
Have there been? Link them.
Because I call bullshit on that
I've always struggled with it. Often people let it degrade into a line with tiny bumps, and it becomes illegible.
Personally I am Autistic and have ADHD, so the fine motor control is hard to manage. I can't write cursive neatly, but if I slow right down I can "draw" cursive.
Growing up undiagnosed when I did, has developed a hardy set of calluses across the knuckles from teachers hitting them with a ruler for bad pen grip or messy writing.
Most of those fuckers are dead or in diapers now.
WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else
Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.
Maybe they filtered those strings to be safe, and put the notice there to answer the invertible "why won't it accept my password" queries.
It's a shitty password engine. But not necessarily uncleansed
It's a real reference.
