If the cursor can go on a monitor that’s currently off, there’s something very weird with your configuration.

I was gonna suggest “just launch cmd directly”, but then remembered that this usualy just launches Terminal if it’s installed.

Well… it depends on the language too - although I’m not a native English speaker, I would use 12-hour in spoken English too (like I would in my native Bulgarian) - often without even appending “AM” or “PM” because it would be obvious from the context.

EU fella here. I’m strongly pro-Metric and yet don’t see a problem with 12-hour time. 24-hour is kind of clumsy to use in informal speech or chat/text, but I would use it in all other instances.

Just use a list. Untick anything that you finish or you see needs to be bought (or add it if it’s not there), tick anything you buy at the store. Share the list across the household so that everyone (hopefully) does the same.

Context is everything.

“When are you guys coming over?”

“We were thinking 20th, but I couldn’t get off work then, so 21st it is.”

If you’re in that conversation, you’d be perfectly clear of what’s up. Imagine having to append “of December” to both dates (or also the year for that matter).

If it’s something more than a year ahead, then sure, I’ll include the month and the year - but that’s still going from most specific to least specific (i.e. day, month, year).

Depends on the language honestly. In my native language (that’s not English) it sounds somewhat clumsy with the zero in front, but it’s still sometimes used. Depending on the context it might be a simple number (zero two) or it might be an ordinal (zero second). From 2010 and on it’s been easier because you just say the equivalent of “tenth”, “eleventh” and so on.

In writing it also depends on the context - if it’s something ambiguous (that could be 1925 or 2025), then sure, write the full year, otherwise two digits are fine.

Fixed. Brought to you by ortho gang.

For a very long time it’s been possible to set what the button is doing and it’d only cause a hard shut down if you hold it down for like 5 seconds.

Depends on where you are and depends on organisation. If it’s a small venue and a DIY type of thing, chances are that the merch money and at least part of the entrance is going directly to the band (as opposed to the 1% kickback they’d get for streaming).

Go to concerts, buy physical.

Wow, that’s cursed.

It’s somewhat amazing to be able to pull this off - and also speaks of the layers and layers of management in modern corporations.

Did the c-level folks find out eventually?

Imagine breaking someone’s scraper with that change.

And maybe some features as a side effect.
