I don't understand how that is possible. I learned touch typing in school, but I didn't learn Dwarf Fortress key commands in school. If you asked me what is the command to build a coffin in Dwarf fortress I might not know, but if I try to build a coffin without thinking about it my fingers automatically hit b/f/x. After a while I get board and go away for a couple years until the next big release, at which point I don't remember any of the commands, but my fingers still do. Spooky. If you do something all the time you just kinda learn how to do it. Facebook Aunt has a new favorite as of 23:13 on Jun 23, 2023 |

Anyone else CJ a Mac office? You could do some hilarious poo poo with Apple Remote Desktop - one of my favorite things to do was to use the Send Command feature on the poor unsuspecting staff who were in the office at odd hours. In Mac OS you could send the command "say" and the machine would use its text to speech engine to announce whatever you said - so now imagine you're at the office, it's 9pm, and every computer on the floor (maybe three dozen computers) simultaneously announce "GO HOME, CLAIRE" to you

mdemone posted:I love it when my students challenge me to a typing game Is typing not a thing that folks do anymore now that everyone's on smartphones? Most of my coworkers are Africans with families and typing and technology is a struggle for the older folks or second nature for younger crew that's more my age and more involved in graphic design or research

If only I had to type “attack skeleton” for work, I’d be even faster. My boss occasionally stares with wonder at my fingers when I type, and I have to start my Before World of Warcraft speech.

The RP ones expected you to converse in full sentences, with proper spelling and grammar, so I learned to type really fast, but it means that when I make a typo I go back and edit it manually instead of using spellcheck afterwards.

It was one of those foam tiles ceilings that every office uses, so he just had to dislodge one, hide the phone and push the tile back in place. Was his name Andy Bernard, and did he punch a hole in the wall when he couldn't find his ringing phone?

My typing form is pretty bad but I'm fast as gently caress and ruthless on the keys, boi. Something else is that I can usually even continue typing accurately while looking away and having my attention somewhere else, like at a friend who is telling me something. This seems to creep some people out.

Some computer toucher in I think it was the the schadenfreude thread bragged about pranking their new/junior coworkers by slightly unplugging their PC's CMOS chip or something like that, and then ridiculing them when they couldn't diagnose the problem after 2 days. That was real lame. Screen shots + hidden icons or tape over the mouse laser is harmless and funny, though. So is the air horn under the office chair that goes off when someone sits down.

CzarChasm posted:Reminds me of one of my early jobs out of school. Very small, family owned business. I was allowed to put up a custom desktop, and not being any major poo poo stirrer, I decided on something that was fun but safe. Or so I thought. One day I get pulled in to HR because someone thought the image was "offensive" or "obscene". Keep in mind that this is a company of about 20 people, most of them over 50, and most of those related to the CEO. I was asked to change it to something else, so I just went with a solid color. What was the offending image? Why do you think it's called the Satellite of Love?

in my first internship, there was a guy in his late 30s, early 40s. this was 10-15 years ago, so i guess genX. couldnt touch type. didnt seem to understand the concept. there was a mechanical keyboard that i found which had some sort of iso layout with a few caps in weird places, idk maybe german? anyway, he told me it was hosed up cause they keys didnt do the right thing, but i told him if you ignore the caps and just type normally it worked fine. he didn't understand what i meant, like how can you use a keyboard without re-discovering which key is where each time? anyway, he was one of the two programmers at this embedded device startup. idk how that kind of thing happens, but apparently it does.

i learned the terrible form i have today by trying to keep up with my friends in AIM in high school. i was hunting and pecking, but kept falling behind in the conversation so i would peck faster and faster until i didn't need to look anymore, then started adding more fingers to the mix. home row prescriptivism never worked for me, but brain still did the thing.

Someone mildly savvy having a few minutes of access to my work PC unlocked is a nightmare scenario, especially so if my password manager is unlocked. Like, "everyone gets to change their passwords, all keys revoked" nightmare.
