- Comment on [Opinion] Unending ransomware attacks are a symptom, not the sickness 1 week ago:
It already works like this. Audits perform this function. Failing a mandatory audit generally goes very poorly for financial companies. The unintended result is falsified audits - something my former company did (still does?) every year. The banks and the Fed never found out.

I’m in IT and do prefer to write for many tasks. When all I need is “Room, Rack, and U” to work on a system, a small scrap of paper is better than putting the laptop on the floor. I expect the role matters more than the industry.

- Comment on How do I plug this in? Old Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer. 7 months ago:
It looks like there is a lever that will spread open for access to the plug. ?Squeeze or twist? Those tabs might slide out of the way and then grip the cord once it’s connected.
