She wants to enter her Covid LFT result but her tablet is not playing ball, so she has been screaming at it for not turning on.
Finally, I go to investigate the problem, and ... the battery is at "0%" ... 
At least it's easy to fix!

Mine too. Only she would go back to quill pens and calligraphy if it were possible.

If I only could ... My wife (then) was the editor of a small magazine published by our local historical society, I was the computer typesetting consultant. This guy that regularly made headlines for some articles, as well as the the front page, did use a real quill pen for his calligraphy. He was so unsatisfied with the ink he could buy here in Norway that he traveled to the Netherlands for the sole purpose of buying the right ingredients to mix his own ink of proper quality. Note that he did not buy Dutch ink, just the ingredients so that he could control all aspects of the ink composition!
But gee, if I could have had a handwriting like his! Every word he wrote was a graphical piece of art.
Looking at my own handwriting, I feel ashamed. I have always been ashamed of it. So from day one of my playing around with computers, I let them handle all of my writing. My upbringing had taught me that personal letters always should be hand written, never typed. I have consistently been misbehaving for more than forty six years now. Not a single letter has been in my handwriting since 1975. I do believe that the readers of my letters are happy with it.
Still, I wish that I really knew how to do calligraphy with a real quill pen.

Oh, just wait until she has to use 2FA to sign into her tablet, then puzzle site, etc.
Herself: I need my phone to do my puzzles on my tablet!?! (launches nuclear missiles) 🚀🚀🚀🚀
2FA drives me nuts.
Here's my contribution to the 2FA discussion[^]. It's star wars based so it should go over really well here.

I really hate those code reviewer who say "oh your variable name is too short, or too long, or I don't like like it, blah, blah"... but I realize I somewhat became what I hate meself... Thankfully I still don't care about the length, or abbreviation, or single letter variables... But when one used a concatenation of multiple full words, what really grates me is... spelling mistakes! :/
like
- m_SomethingManger, argh.. it's manager, 2 "a" you dyslexic moppet!
- currentTransation, what's a transation? did you forget a "c"?
anyhow, no biggie. What I noticed though, is when I say "spelling please", my comment is ignored  I guess while you can't unsee it once you see it, you probably can't see it, until someone.. mmm.. spell it out! (pun intended  )

Plural variables are my issue. Tons instead of ton, etc. Higher probability of a single letter spelling error.

What do you do about arrays? Singular or plural?
Plural looks better in declaration:
int apples[5]; Singular looks better in other statements:
if (apple[3] != rotten) …
I know it sounds silly, but I’m an adept of literate programming and somehow care about these little details.

Exactly. I agree. Avoid plural names, but seek collective nouns.

Not talking about looks. It's writing code. I am not being fanatical just a rule of thumb(s).

I always use the singular, because the declaration happens just once.

Then don't apply for a job where I work, they seem to systematically do their spelling the wrong way

Or an "l". Or they replaced an "i" with an "a".

Maybe their storing a reference to a food trough for animals?
Another favourite in QA seems to be using "costumer" instead of "customer".

I have been one for 10 years or so now. sadly, it has nothing to do with code. I have worked alone for about 20 years.
Now, when it comes to bicycle riders, particularly those that run red stoplights, forcing you to pass them over and over again....
And don't get me started about the riders that bring their young children along in a little trailer doing "Child endangerment"!
