Jim Spath<p>There is a <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/MurphysLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MurphysLaw</span></a> or something about reading the directions when all else fails. In this case, looking closely at 2 power wiring dongles and realizing one works and is documented both *Upside or Down*. I finally checked why the lights were in different order on the top labels. Turns out, that is correct.<br><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DoublePlusGood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DoublePlusGood</span></a></p><p>Edit for tags:<br><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UI</span></a> <br><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a> <br><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/UserExperience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserExperience</span></a> <br><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/UserInterface" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserInterface</span></a></p>

I love music, but I want it to be "Audio" -- not all audio is music (plus "audio" pairs better with "video"). When was this default established, in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> X 10.0, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WinNT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WinNT</span></a>, earlier?

AnthonyI am 100% convinced just from my own experiences that tech companies are knowingly, purposely putting "AI" buttons and links near commonly-used buttons or links in user interfaces to encourage accidental clicking and increase their usage numbers.
