It might help.

I have 2. One has broken twice from over use, so I reprinted the broken piece and swapped it.

I spent 20 minutes (I timed it) on the phone diagnosing a tech support issue and instructing the user on how to fix it. It took about 10 seconds for me to realise that number lock was turned off.

The rest of the 20 minutes was trying to get the user to find and press “Num lock” on the keyboard.

About 10 minutes in, they actually found and pressed it. Apon noticing that nothing had appeared on the screen, they tried pressing it again, then announced it didn’t work.

Somehow, just getting them to press the button one more time was not simple, as they now had to begin their logical left-to-right scan of the keyboard again to find this mysterious new “Num lock” button they’d never heard of before.

This person (on another call) would say the name of each key as they pressed it. They would say “Caps lock, A, Caps lock, Enter” when typing a single “A” on a line, but didn’t know what “Caps lock” was and couldn’t find it on the keyboard when asked to press it immediately after having said and pressed it.

Gambling destroys lives. Making gambling illegal may be controversial, but I can’t see any reason to allow gambling ads.

If you want to gamble, then it’s your own life to ruin. If you advertise gambling, then you are ruining other people’s lives.

Ban gambling ads.

Multiple independent braking systems and adequate maintenance.

A single failure may cause the escalator to stop working, but it takes 3 failures in a row to make it catastrophic. Regular maintenance catches this failures before 3 in a row can occur.

If any of the stairs are damaged and cannot stay attached correctly, there is a chance of falling into the machinery below, which will not stop just because a human is in the way.

If the failure is in the braking system, it can quickly turn into rapidly moving stairs, which can be very lethal.
Most escalators have multiple independent braking systems so that this doesn’t happen, but some poorly maintained escalators have been discovered with 2 or even all 3 systems disabled.

Pinning the CPU clock can have certain uses.

What about showing the result that exactly matches the search query instead of a bunch of similar items?

Not too many people will tell you about the time they got coronavirus and died.

Physics Girl has another story though.

I’m in Australia. I don’t get below 200 ping. 150 would be nice.

Yeah, tell that wall to get out of your way.

Is that a cat on your lap?

I’ve had issues with printers and printer drivers until I got a brother laser printer. It seems to just work all the time.

I had a first generation Nissan Leaf. Only the most dedicated EV enthusiasts would have one. Every person with one (that I met) was excited to chat about it.

I hate this because I’m halfway through it. At least now I have instructions for the other half.

On three:

Five… Four… Three!

You also have to work 2-3 positions at the same time, without the required equipment to accurately monitor the location of planes, with faulty alarms going off multiple times per day, and you get blamed if you lose concentration for a second at the wrong moment.
