NES only has two buttons, but it did establish the “A on the right” norm. The SNES established the four-button diamond labeled A, B, X, and Y.

Nintendo set the standard in 1990 with the SNES. Microsoft broke it in 2001 with the Xbox.
The event I’m referring to wasn’t OP’s photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.
Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn’t have admin access.
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.
US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. “Cookies, oatmeal” instead of “Oatmeal cookies” because it’s a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.
This isn’t funny, this is just the sad state of software these days.
Joke’s on them: those aliens don’t perceive time, so the concept of pressing keys in sequence is impossible to convey.
That’s weird, the watermark says, “I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.”
It’s a matter of trust. This is just the latest in a long and increasing train of Microsoft abusing their market power. They have proven, time and again, that they cannot be trusted.
Anyone who tries to pull an “I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it further” gets a lifetime boycott.
So is the poop emoji.
Don’t worry, this just means your job is safe from being replaced by AI. No search results means no training data.
I didn’t know about that. At my company, the head of HR (3.5x average salary) recently told everyone, “If you want a higher salary, go work at [rival company].” This was onstage in front of ~150 people.
You have until May 15. The announcement just went out today; if they tried to make it retroactive, it wouldn’t hold up in court.

Burnout, depression, and anxiety are not the same. There is overlap, but they are distinct problems.
Our results showed a significant association between burnout and depression (r = 0.520, SE = 0.012, 95% CI = 0.492, 0.547) and burnout and anxiety (r = 0.460, SE = 0.014, 95% CI = 0.421, 0.497)… Our findings revealed no conclusive overlap between burnout and depression and burnout and anxiety, indicating that they are different and robust constructs.
Voicemail was a mistake. I wish more services would let me disable it completely.
No bounds checking, only fast.
