I'm sitting here, forced to use a Windows desktop (and I'm remembering

Now, honestly, I'm quite adaptable as I work with lots of different
systems, and have to simply roll with whatever my client at any moment
uses, but...

I opened Settings...

Then I remembered that Microsoft's settings for the mouse are
idiotically broken across two different interfaces, so I checked Control
Panel...

So I check online and would you look at that:
The only solution to changing the scrolling direction of the mouse in
Windows is...

Is you M3 MacBook Air now 'up and running'?
No way...that's actually insane. Even something as restricted as
ChromeOS provides that option in the settings.
