screenshot, probably from Ex-Twitter but I saw it on NOSTR, showing a guy saying that training a zoomer to use a PC at work is as difficult as training a boomer, with a reply indicating that there is only one generation that can rotate a PDF and that knowledge dies with us

Training some younger people at work: "click the cog in the corner to pull up the settings". "What's a 'cog'?" Some things people miss out on life when you've never seen a Jetsons episode.

I always call it a gear.

Cogs are typically square tooth, gears have involute teeth.

The definition online says that the teeth of the gears are cogs, which I'd never heard of before.

Me neither. We were taught cogs were those janky gears for certain tasks, while a true gear had geometry for smooth engagment
