I eventually learned that there's a 'correct way up' for USB A cables. The two small holes should be on top. Tragically not all power adapters get this right, even for name brands. My ability to get the cable right first time still isn't much better than 50%!

I do occasionally find myself wanting to use the phrase "you're absolutely right", especially in technical discussions. I've started avoiding it though. I worry it'd make me sound like I'm just automating my comments.

Trying to let my 3yo try as many different technology interfaces as possible. Mouse: not too bad, especially after reducing sensitivity. Keyboard: WASD is easy to lose track of in a sea of buttons. Controller: requires both hands together, which is tricky. Arguably the left hand is more important too, hard for a right hander.
