I totally get the last one.
Why do they put the current year as the default selection? Do they expect newborns to use it most?

Yes. But it beats the alternative.

broke down and bought a new pair of shoes with memory foam insoles.
No more forgetting why I walked into the kitchen.

I just bought a pair of Skechers and I must say they have an excellent memory and weigh almost nothing

Maybe you can remember to install the RAM n next time!

Yes, seriously, at work for desktop apps etc I still use app.config style, as all the apps run from a central place on a server which is seriously locked down it's fine - all it shows is the very basic connection properties ( i.e. no user/password ) so it's not a problem

If they didn't want things hardcoded the keyboard would be inactive, right?

... since I last lifted up a soldering iron, but it's just like riding a bicycle!
Provided you remember which is the hot end. Hint: This is wrong.[^]
My mouse has been getting iffy - it releases sometimes while drag and dropping, double clicks when I single click, you know the kind of thing. Trouble is, it's a Logitech Trackman, and they don't make 'em any more. The newer model I don't find as comfortable (as well as being £80) and is wireless, which I don't like either. I like wired keyboard and mice so the cat can't remove them.
So it's replace the microswitch time. Buy 5 switches from Amazon on Prime next day (£4 for Omron ones), open it up (4 screws), detach the PCB (two clips, one spring), solder suck 3 joints, replace switch, solder three joints, reassembly is the reversal of disassembly.
About 5 minutes in total. Works fine!
So ... something has gone properly today, which makes a nice change.
How's your day going?

Satisfying to do something like that, isn't it.
And you remind me: I must buy a solder sucker.

It's so much less hassle than that stupid braid ... I always end up soldering that stuff to the PCB ...
