A bug report came in: <\/p>\n
When I go to the Power Options<\/i> control panel and select Edit Plan Settings<\/i>, the Turn off display<\/i> combo-box is disabled. Is this a bug? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Shortly thereafter, this response was submitted: <\/p>\n
Do you see a big yellow warning over the Turn off display<\/i> that says that some settings are managed by your system administrator, and a link called Why can’t I change some settings?<\/u><\/font> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The reply: <\/p>\n
Yes, my machine is joined to a domain, and I see that yellow warning. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This is a fact of life. People can’t see what is right in front of their face. Even though there’s a warning right above the disabled item explaining that it can’t be changed due to an administrative setting, even though there’s a link on the page whose text directly addresses the issue they are asking about, even though they confirm the existence of the explanatory text when asked<\/i>, they still don’t read it or understand it. It’s another case of inattentional blindness<\/a>. You are so focused on the task of clicking on the combobox that you completely disregard any other information because you simply aren’t expecting it to be there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
