  • My wife’s standing at her company’s IT dept skyrocketed during COVID lockdowns.

    Why? Because we were both working from home, and aside from helping her with basic troubleshooting, I also helped her formulate her tickets better.

    Turns out, tech support folks like it when a ticket has concise info, instead of “screen broke”.

    It’s called UniversalPauseButton (no link because on phone, but you can Google it). It basically makes the PAUSE/BREAK button pause any active process. Press it again to unpause.
