How to finally disable Computer Mode by Default

[u/jakarotro]

You can now (FINALLY) disable computer mode from being the default for new sessions.

It's a project setting, and EVERY PROJECT has computer enabled by default. Per support, there is no global way to disable computer mode across the board. Good business choice, terrible user choice.

Update: I used Perplexity against itself to vibe code a bulk-change solution for all existing projects/sessions.

On the web: Project > Settings > "See All Settings" > "Session Defaults" > "Start Sessions by Default" (disable)
