I swear that with each update they’re adding more and more artificial stupidity

    In my country, for the numbers, the dot and the comma are inverted in usage

    9,600 => 9.600 and 2.6 => 2,6 and 9,600.6 => 9.600,6

    Seems a nightmare but any software takes care of it since DOS, except on MacOS as apple in their infinite wisdom switched the dot with a comma in the numpad, so each time I type an IP address it comes out as 192,168,1,1 and makes me really mad

      yeah the period/comma switch up has caused me some trouble while studying abroad (mostly by apple). the calculator app for example will show a period (to specify decimals), but pressing it will insert a comma (to specify decimals), despite my number formatting settings being set to use periods for decimals.

      i probably should’ve added an /s to my comment
