      Mouse? OG experts fumble with the touchpad and touchpad buttons to drag the scrollbar down inch by inch.

      Fool—the scroll wheel is a scalpel; the scrollbar is a broadsword. Use the right tool for the job.

      I’ve seen someone briefly turn on caps lock to type a single capital letter, I wanted to scream

        Former “IT” coworker would do that too. He apparently didn’t know how to type characters on tge number row, you know like & for example.

        I called him out on him using caps lock instead of shift and he asked “what do yoy do, hold shift?” with a tone that implied I was the crazy one.

        When I first started to learn touch typing I used some popular documents. It recommended to do that, especially for people with smaller hands. I eventually moved on from it, but I only use left shift since I can’t reach right shift in any sane manner without moving my whole hand.
