My systems drive was only 256 GB and was slowly filling up. So I decided that in preparation for a clean install next month when Windows 11 arrives, I will install a new, larger drive. I got a 512 GB NVMe SSD from Amazon and fitted it into the machine.
Then I tried to boot from a Macrium recovery USB flash drive to restore my last image. Macrium booted OK, but nothing worked. The mouse had no effect. I was stymied. Went into the BIOS a couple of times to fiddle with the boot options, but nothing worked. Fiddling with the BIOS always makes me nervous, and I became convinced I had broken something in the BIOS.
I was about ready to start crying when I noticed something: The mouse was black! My computer's wireless mouse is red! When I started using the red mouse, everything worked like a charm! I felt such a fool!

I had the same issue with multiple keyboard for multiple machines on my desk. I'd always wonder why the typing wasn't working.... wrong KB!

Yes. With wireless keyboards and wireless mice, one has to remember which goes with which machine. But it requires such a lot of intellectual effort! I get the mice in different colors to avoid confusion, but I still manage to mess up.

I have actually never seen a red mouse. Just my two cents.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You mean you've never embarrassed a mouse.

I double checked. It is RED indeed!

How did a black mouse get in the house,
and, how did get it sneak ahead of red?

I inherited an old Pinto station wagon many many years ago. It was a POS but it refused to die.

My sister had one many, many years ago, it too was a POS. No fuel fires for that one.

IDs should never be meaningfully sortable. It must be a meaningless operation.

Hmm. I could argue that any sequence of bytes can be used as a sort key, as long as your sort comparison handles it correctly.
Sorting a data structure on a binary key is useful for improving search times based on those key values.
