Sometimes a pop-up appears that I blindly accept because I happen to be typing something with spaces. Wish that button was protected somehow.

Such pop-ups should never automatically get focused. The increase of them was why I switched away from Windows many years ago, and why I like to root my Android devices. It baffles me that focus-stealing notifications cannot be turned off in most OEM Androids.

I think with power tools on Windows 11 at least it forces the privilege escalation window to pop under.

I do wish those were a thing on flat touch sensitive induction cooktops! (For all those pesky water droplets causing the cooktop to error out and turning itself off)

I get annoyed even at the thought of those things! Had to use a few while travelling. Ugh!

Somebody make a keyboard where every key is a molly guard, where only one will open at a time, then make a fun video about it. And credit me for this stupid idea. Even though it wasn’t my idea.

I personally know a guy who shut down an oil factory by pressing the molly guard button, just because the button looked interesting.

Fun random fact, Eventbrite was first a security company called Molly Guard. I spent years cleaning out the 'mg-' prefixes from the code.

“Mollyguarding” sounds like a great derogation of unnecessary safety measures. Stop mollyguarding me!
