Mark looked at the screen. The Settings window was open, sitting on the "System" tab. He suddenly felt foolish for all the times he had searched for "settings" in the search bar, sifting through web results and store apps just to find the native control panel.

His task was simple: project his screen to the conference room TV for the quarterly review. But Windows, in its infinite wisdom, had decided that the "Project" menu—accessed via the Windows Key + P shortcut—was merely a suggestion. It wouldn't open. The sidebar was ghosting him.

Silas winced as if struck. "Clicking the gear requires approximately 1.5 seconds of motor movement and visual tracking. Win + I takes 0.2 seconds. Over the course of a forty-year career, that saves you... roughly three months of your life."

It was a Tuesday afternoon, the kind where the office hums with the low-frequency drone of fluorescent lights and suppressed sighs. Mark sat in his ergonomic chair, staring at a monitor that had betrayed him.
