I had no idea what you meant by rings so I had to look up a picture. Here's Wikipedia's picture for anyone else confused like me.
I don't know anything about hockey either, but I'm pretty sure "The Stanley Cup" is their big trophy.
I got myself a Xerox printer because I figured I'd be familiar with the interface since all the offices I worked in had Xerox printers, plus I figured getting a near-corporate printer might keep some of the bullshit away since Xerox would probably not want to motivate their corporate customers to switch brands. AFAICT they probably get most of their business through service, not so much product.
So far it has worked out well. I have yet to buy a Xerox brand toner cartridge, and I've had this printer for several years and I keep getting consistent high quality prints. Some of the features are not super intuitive, but I don't think it's terrible to have to read the manual once in awhile.
It didn't change everything, but it did change some things. We still take our shoes off to get through airport security, for example.
It wasn't huge in terms of actual numbers, but it still feels like my biggest win. I bought my first car for like $750. It needed some work, but I fixed it up. Before long, I crashed it. It was totalled. But, it was a 1973 Dodge Charger. I started pulling parts off of it and selling them on this new thing called eBay, and by the time I ran out of parts, I had made more than twice what I bought the car for.
If you read this comment, you are legally bound to whatever requirements I imagine it carries with it.
Really? I wasn't sure which one I "should" use so I looked at a cable that I had laying around (probably came with a cable modem or something?) and was able to see the wire colors through the connector and it was A. So that's what I've been using when making patch cables or wiring my house.
I guess my question is what's your experience with where B is used? Mostly I'm just curious, it probably doesn't really matter for me since I only do networking work in my house.
Also, the 2032 numbering indicates its physical size: it's 20mm x 3.2mm. There are for example 2025's (like in my car remote) that are 20mm x 2.5mm.
And CMOS refers to what the battery was powering on the motherboard (a small amount of CMOS static RAM) rather than anything about the battery itself. I don't know if motherboards still use any static RAM, the batteries might only be there to power the clock these days, making the name just a historical convention.
Please direct me to anyone who has gotten Excel to run under Wine and documented the procedure.
I dunno about everything, but my car has a talk button on the steering wheel, I think you press it to answer the phone or whatever, but when Android Auto is active, that button works the same as saying "OK Google". I would imagine it does something similar with CarPlay. Maybe you have a similar button?
And if you work somewhere where shitty people are never fired, it's probably a good time to find another job. Unless, you know, you're a shitty person and want job security.
