The original forum lounge thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information – if it’s about AC/Aeroplan, it doesn’t belong in this thread. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may should be posted to the relevant forum, as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge, that doesn't mean that the FT rules don't apply here (they definitely do), please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities, and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.
For those interested, previous versions are here: original 2004 - 2014 thread, 2015, 2016 , 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

One time my phone rebooted (not for an update) when I was 3 seconds away from showing my mobile boarding pass to TSA.
One of the many reasons I like paper.

I told ChatGPT to reconfigure my routes and VLANs to optimize both security and throughput. I'm sure it will all be just fine.

A program I use (and which I cannot configure any differently) mainly at the office has this one screen that is a bit too tall for the monitor, so I have to scroll up and down, which is obviously enraging.
If I get a higher resolution monitor (i.e. not just "bigger" necessarily but more pixels tall) is that likely to solve this problem?
