Did you not see the fishing episode?

It never occurred to me to even check whether it can be disabled. I suspect you have improved my life and thank you for doing so!

Last night, I read the book Grand Theft Astro by Scott Meyers. A moderately important plot point is about something called the Ibu. This made me think of that.

The book is still sitting next to me from where I set it when I finished reading it. When I picked it up to double check I remembered the word correctly, the book fell open to almost exactly the page that introduced the Ibu. Oddly serendipitous to allow me to make such a meaningless post.

FWIW, the book was not a masterpiece and has a very recognizable style - positives and negatives - from his books that I’ve previously read, but I found it enjoyable enough to read in one sitting.

In many cases, perhaps most, you can use Ctrl+shift+c/v to get around this. This muscle memory has caused problems for me because Ctrl+shift+c in Firefox brings up the development console (IIRC) and I haven’t found a way to close that without using the mouse.

Depending on your environment, you may also be able to highlight text, press no keys, and middle click elsewhere to paste.

I tried to buy an external 20TB drive from Amazon twice. First one that came, I bought refurbished; the drive had been shucked and replaced with a 146GB drive.

Second one I bought was 20TB, but was clicking and grinding from the moment I turned it on. When I tried to initiate a return saying “drive is clicking and grinding, indicating that it’s failing,” their support bot helpful informed me that a clicking and grinding drive usually indicated drive failure.

They did accept the return for the latter. They also accepted a return for the former, but it took literal months and several support interactions where the (seemingly real) agents actively lied to me.

I’ve had okay luck with smaller Amazon drives in the past, but will have trouble recommending them for this kind of purchase in the future.
