I entered the thread hoping this would be the first comment; thank you for fulfilling my wishes.

You are singlehandedly compensating for me never leaving the house.

According to my tag on you, you’re a construction worker with a camera; I would imagine both of those things would expose you to cold. It’s not blind!

If there’s anyone I’d trust on this matter, it’s you.

I don’t often literally express my amusement verbally, but this made me do so … After a moment or two of processing it. Thanks for your contribution to my day!

My work gave me a Mac with this. I absolutely hated it - constantly triggering random things I didn’t want or need and apparently something about the wiring caused the physical keyboard to fail prematurely.

Fortunately we’ve moved on from those dark days. I still have to use a Mac, but at least there’s no touch bar.

It was weird to see an actual vacuum repairperson on Breaking Bad. I understand that that wasn’t their primary function, but it seems like in the modern world the front wouldn’t stand up or at least would be subject to extensive scrutiny.

Though not the most academic resource, the YouTubers How Ridiculous recently popped a CRT screen. Because of their video format, I’m having a bit of time identifying which one it was, but it might have been this:

When I’ve heard “tatty,” it’s been short for “tattered.” Like “threadbare.” However, as you said, from context I assume that’s not what’s meant here.

This kind of folding also seems okay.

23 was before my time, but it is 1/3 of 69, so there’s that.

No worries, thanks for following up.

Well, one viable solution is to use a non-compatible remote, but at least my TV complains every time I press a button on one.

Thanks in advance!

That’s disappointing; I always thought the one thing they got right was the 98/XP interface that Cinnamon copied.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

How did you do that?

I would be so happy if I could just disable the “magic mouse” (IIRC that’s what it’s called). I once talked to support for an unrelated reason and asked how to do that; they said the only way was to enable on screen narration.

Any time throughout the conversation I asked why those two things were connected, they dodged or outright ignored the question.

I’ve had Fedora encourage me to reboot, but I don’t think I’ve ever had it do so without consent (excluding when my laptop battery died).

But there has to be a twist!
