Most people unconciously associate the pause symbol (Two vertical lines) as currently playing and the playing symbol (sideways triangle) as paused.
Ah, the old debate of "display current state" vs "display current action"...

YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5.
Percentage is just a fancy form of decimal point. I just multiply them together then move decimal digit to the left twice.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
Trust no one. Not because you're paranoid, but because you don't need to.

What is the most destroying command you can type in the Linux terminal?
Everyone is talking about rm -rf / and damage to storage drives, but I read somewhere about EFI variables having something to do with bricking the computer. If this is possible, then it's a lot more damage than just disk drives.
