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

Huh? The single cog is the standard for settings menus. Just looking at three random apps on my phone, they all had single cog icons.

cog
noun
ˈkäg
1 : a tooth on the rim of a wheel or gear

Can you share an image of what you describe as a single cog?

It can also be used to mean a singular cogged wheel

It’s splitting hairs, but that would technically be a cogwheel. The actual cogs would be the teeth around the wheel.

If you have a cogwheel with a broken cog, it would be accurate to say “the cogwheel is missing a cog.” That doesn’t mean the entire wheel is missing from the system; The system is only missing a single tooth.
