Once had a user manually change their ticket to Priority 1, which we used to indicate dozens of people/everyone down, because their M key only worked half the time they pressed it.

    Electrician at a factory, I get called to operator’s stations all the time because “I can’t type any numbers so we can’t change products.” I have tried for 30min over the radio to direct them to press the numlock key to no avail. Please send help, I can only drink so much on my day off.

      “OK, power it off and on again”

        “You mean logging off and back on isn’t rebooting? What about this button on my monitor?”

          I have no problem with ignorance unless it's deliberate. It's the people who think they're above troubleshooting and lie about it who are the problem people

            And the people who refuse to learn.

            “I’m just bad with computers.”

            So learn and get better.

        Could just disable the functionality in general or go all caveman on it and get rid of the button

      Just remove the key from their keyboard at this point or I think there is a way for windows to simply ignore it and keep it on all the time
