well it was already set to landscape, I guess maybe it just needed affirmation. We'll see, thanks.

I've effectively taught everyone here (at work) that prank.

monster 03-13-2018 10:26 AM

is CTRL ALT UP a toggle for that then?

under other circumstances I'd experiment, but today i just really need my computer to do what i want it to do. i.e. help me communicate with the outside world and keep me entertained :)

CTRL-ALT-[direction that you want to be "up"]. IE, CTRL-ALT-DOWN is upside down.

monster 03-13-2018 10:39 AM

cool thanks. good job I'm all out of the capacity for evil today. And probably the last person to know about it :D

monster 03-13-2018 10:40 AM

I do wonder how in the fuck I did that accidentally.....

Same, then... ever since my main work PC is a laptop I keep docked, but also take to meetings, I use that dumb mousepad thing without even thinking about it. I don't even plug a mouse into my laptop at home, now.

You made the mistake of buying a Windows laptop.

lumberjim 03-13-2018 06:45 PM

That's where you're wrong, bub.

She stole that laptop

I'd still feel cheated. She took the risk of stealing it for a piece of crap.

Don't start that shit please. It's condescending and rude, not to mention poorly timed.

I'm sorry. I was trying to be funny. I didn't mean to cause offence.
