Uhm. Alright. But nevertheless, a position in the army was, and still is, nothing I ever desired. I'm happy enough I only had 5 months of initial training and 3-4 weeks a year of repetition.
Speaking of the WEF... My next WK is there... Although, we're probably just one of the reserve units (at least thats as much as our commander was informed during our last WK) . And as air defense, we're probably scattered somewhere in the hills around Davos, and I don't really fancy being in service in the mountains during winter ... (Ok, to be honest: There isn't really a "good" time for the army as I usually always have better things to do )

But are you sure that always works? I'm sure I have at least one device that breaks that rule. Also what about vertical USB sockets? USB sign to the left or right?

I'll have to check that. Usually if the manufacturer's name is on it, that side should be up.
I am not even going to reveal how long it took me to figure out that my PC doesn't have to be turned on in order to charge my phone through a USB cable.

I just tried, and the USB sign goes on the bottom, although it is possible I have the computer the wrong way up.

It's actually on its side, I cleaned, tidied, and reorganised my desk yesterday - happy times.
The box came with a stand so it could be on its side, although I do not know if there is a preferred side, presumably the other one if what you say should be true. Normally the USB ports on the front are vertical.

What always works is that the bottom is the part at which the 2 ends of the metal touch each other.

I .. don't want to go so familiar with what the USB metals do

That's something I like about Samsung phone ost/usb plugs: they're not symmetrical, so you don't have to squint like a crazy person to see the black-on-black pimple-height symbols; you can tell without even looking if they're the right way up.

Reminds me of last weekend when I couldn't get my pressure washer to start. It has a rocker switch labeled 0 and I. Does that mean 'Off' and 'Ignition'?..or 'On' and 'Interrupt'? Actually, it's binary, 0 and 1, on and off!

IIRC, that is not necessarily consistent.
I've also plugged in USB cables the wrong way. Interesting things happen when you force the plug and short out the +5 power.

I have a lot of time to waste today but I can't just sit idle. I can't watch a movie or play games because I am at office. So I am surfing through all sites that publish lottery and lucky draw results online. I haven't bought a ticket in ages but that's not gonna stop me today.
And I am not going to use Ctrl+F and search for my name. I will literally go through all the published names. Maybe I will get lucky.!
Warm Regards,

Little tip - it's probably best not to post online that you are going to be sitting in the office surfing lottery sites when your boss may also be online surfing your name to see what you have posted

Why not learn some new technology - something that will be useful to your employer, either in terms of enhancing the existing products, or creating new ones - during your spare office time?
