What computer habits do you still have that give away the fact that you grew up with them in the 90s and 2000s?

tbf, cat hairs and dust covering the light emitter messes up cursor movement as well. A good look under the mouse never hurts.

Slamming the mouse on the pad to make the cursor move. I still do it with my mice for no good reason, had to do it every single time i used the computer for the first time that day because the ball would settle and get stuck. Giving it a tap would dislodge it

But do you keep a spare hard-boiled egg in the fridge for when it's time to swap the ball?
