I doubt I need to press the Eject button to disconnect my iPhone, but I think it's nice that they still have that symbol for those who remember the "blue screen of death" or similar when you didn't ask the operating system for permission to remove a device.
Engineering design professor thought for 2.5 years that the valve on the hot water dispenser was broken. Nope. He needed to learn how to use the safety feature (and put on his glasses).
Based on my results from the Cringe Quiz in this article washingtonpost.com/technolog… I better practice my Gen Z speak before I teach the first-year engineering course next term @OregonState
