NES only has two buttons, but it did establish the "A on the right" norm. The SNES established the four-button diamond labeled A, B, X, and Y.
Is this why Ian McCollum's videos are getting altered? Over the years, he's had many historical deep-dives featuring firearms from the Murphy's auction house. In recent months, he's been re-uploading those videos to cover their logo with the word "Morphy's". Even though the auctions are long over, I suppose Google counts them as promoting sales.
Nintendo set the standard in 1990 with the SNES. Microsoft broke it in 2001 with the Xbox.
Old hotness: Swing Wing
New hotness: Transform into bipedal mech

This 100%. Only a hobbit would bring their favorite cast iron frying pan on a transcontinental hike into hostile territory.
I've read and enjoyed a lot of Stross's work. Some of my favorites are Palimpsest, Colder War, Singularity Sky, Nightmare Stacks, and Accelerando.
Again, thanks for making the connection. I wanted to show the story to a friend, but the details I could remember weren't much use for a web search.
The event I'm referring to wasn't OP's photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.
That's it! Thank you so much!!
Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn't have admin access.
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but "cancel" is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.
Can anyone prove it's NOT an extra-long cow?
