Can confirm, I'm on my second one now and it's so good. Some traps back the water up and others don't trap enough of the hair to be worth using, but these are perfect.

The better argument is that many keyboards don't have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it's more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don't have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.

So you're the one who changed the password from admin/admin to admin/hunter2? That's all I needed.

Explaining that I'm a systems and infrastructure admin is actually easier for me than explaining my organization to people lol. Because it's a local government agency that provides services to school districts, and people don't really know we exist if they aren't a district staff member themselves (and even then sometimes they don't know!), and we're a bit niche in our specific services, I usually just end up saying "school ISP" despite that only being a small part of it. 😂

When I played with AWS way back before it became the behemoth it is, I used it to simply store a few small things, like my Keepass DB. I then deleted it.

So my fun fact: if you ever had an account with AWS and delete it, you can never use that same exact email again. So I went from [email protected] to [email protected] and have had that AWS account for way longer than the original.

Anand left 10 years ago to the day of the announcement. Was pretty well timed and I doubt it was coincidental.

Shut down announcement 10 years to the day from Anand Lal Shimpi retiring from AnandTech.

You can definitely put me down for 0 because my parents didn't love me enough.

Even more frustrating is that different releases and builds recategorize where certain settings are entirely. To the point where search is the only reliable way of knowing for sure you'll get to the right place. They haven't changed things too drastically recently but they kept moving shit around in Win10 throughout its lifetime.

Yeah I basically ignored my teacher's suggestions and bought an HP instead because I really liked the Reverse Polish Notation it defaults to. I could do everything the TI could do and in fewer key presses. Took some learning though. Had the side benefit that no one would ever want to borrow it because they couldn't even do 1 + 1 in RPN.

Yep, if you're in charge of managing hundreds of computers, you don't want to guess at what it'll do. We have our defaults but also have people who make exceptions depending on their own work needs. Tbh, I rarely use that button anyhow though, I right click on the start menu to get that menu instead and use shutdown, restart, or log out.
