Usual being a synonym of normal and the no inverting the answer I thought would give the game away, I often get the solution and post it before breaking it down to justify it

However abnormal is not exactly the same as not-normal...

Agreed, but near enough for our purposes

Of course - I just noted that because lately me wife calls me abnormal, but in the past I was called not normal...

That's how I arrived at the solution. Usual = NORMAL, No = take the opposite => ABNORMAL. I wasn't sure about that result being a rating but went with it anyway. AB as a naval rating didn't occur to me, even though I have seen it before in the CCC.

rating usual = Abnormal I get. But then the "definition" would need to be just "no", and I don't think of "no" as being "abnormal".
In this case the clue word "usual" is used twice - once as a synonym for part of the answer, and again as the answer's definition. That seems at odds with the customary rules for CCC, no? Wouldn't a "cleaner" clue be rating usual, rare? or similar?

Easier, yes - but the clue as presented is clever - the "No", negates the previous word to provide the definition, while the other two provide the "basics" for the clue.
I like it (and not just because I got it  )

I'm testing an AI module on an M1 mac, an Intel mac, and a Windows machine at the same time. I have 1 keyboard and 2 mice, with the keyboard being a Satechi that lets you switch between 4 machines, and one of the mice being a logitech that offers 3 devices. And I have 2 screens and a laptop screen, and the screens are connected by a 3-ply HDMI switcher.
What could possibly go wrong?
I've just spent 10 mins trying to work out why, when I'm on my Intel mac, the cursor goes onto the external screen but I can't type. I switch to the M1 mac and the mouse seems fine, but then it seems I'm actually on the Intel mac because the cursor pops over onto the laptop's screen and has full control. I'm typing on the M1 via the Satechi keyboard and on the laptop via the laptop keyboard.
How is it when I switch machines (ie mouse and monitor) nothing changes. Screen seems the same, mouse is clearly on laptop screen then onto external monitor. Except I'm running the M1 version of the app which is appearing on the screen.
If this sounds confusing it is. It turns out that macOS Universal control doesn't care what machine I'm on. The mouse will span either. I'm also running the same AI module, so what appears on each screen is exactly the same.
Life is complicated.
cheers
