I wonder if that's actually true. I'm a lefty and have always used my mouse with my right hand.

I'm left handed and I haven't swapped the buttons or used the mouse with my left hand since the 90s. Just get used to using your right hand, it's not hard.
Guys, don't add any jokes to this thread, they're too easy.

I am a leftie as well, but I managed to hard wire my brain into knowing which button to press. The distinction is that I generally press the left mouse button with the middle finger of my left hand, but sometimes I will cross over and use my pointer finger.
The interesting thing... I can also "mouse" right handed. Then I click the left mouse button with pointer finger.

The other options are either practical or making fun of it.
The solution, in fact, is to place the laptop down on the surface you are using to hold it and then walk around to the other side so that left and right are reversed with respect to the laptop.
Don't over-complicate when the simple and obvious will suffice.

The test target print came out perfect. I haven't printed anything else on it yet, as been busy doing other stuff. I think the auto bed levelling makes it so much easier.
I had bought some dampers for it while I was waiting for it to arrive, and it turns out they have now fitted them by default at the factory, only found out while I was in the inner workings at the top. I had to open it up as the LCD wasn't shown anything, just the back light, turned out the ribbon cable wasn't secured properly.
The only negative is fan is loud, so will look to modify/replace that at some point. The fan on my Mega S has also started to make a racket, only at startup, then goes quiet after a minute or 2, so think its bearings are suspect.

Oh, yeh, 2 dogs and 2 kids......but the dogs aren't an issue, its the kids are forever helping themselves to whatever they find in the office. They never seem to put anything back either, especially when they borrow tools.

Only took 21 months; but they fixed the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing bug I found with EF Core and SQLite.
https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/11961[^]
It was a solid year and a half after the project in question ended; but is still a nice end to an otherwise bleh week.

Of the bug reports I have filed, they have only acknowledged one of them and it took two whole new OS versions for it to be fixed. To another one I filed, they replied that behavior is by design. I then stated that behavior is inconsistent with these cases and they replied, "oh."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I got lucky. Brice (the dev who finally fixed it) confirmed it was a bug when I initially posted for help on Stackoverflow. It was only an ~50 line fix; so it wasn't a hard problem to solve, just not particularly high priority so it kept getting punted to v.next.
On my side I just needed to keep reverting the bugged generation via git after each DB update. If the project hadn't ended I'd've probably changed up how I was doing the DB project at some point to avoid the nuisance.

Isn't it open source? Could have fixed it yourself

Exactly my same thought. If you are using an Open Source software and find a bug, go fix it and open a pull request to contribute back.

 Dan ... MS should pay you for that: an initial sum, plus interest for every month the issue is not fixed, or, resolved in a matter satisfactory to the dev who reported it.

So, now the question is, what did they break in the process of fixing it?

I'd bet that most devs who complain about Microsoft's bugs would feel different if their own customers complained about their bugs the same way they complain about Microsoft's.

And when you have as many products and customers as Microsoft has then you might have some understanding as well. 
I'm not defending them nor offending you. I just find it interesting that lots of devs hold Microsoft to a much higher level than they hold themselves, or at least that is how it appears.
