If an alarm is set for a time doesn’t exist, I expect a big warning on the Lock Screen that there’s a problem so I can fix it. Or set the alarm off early assuming that it’s better to be early than late for whatever it was.
Both are better than silent failure.

Elderly relative needed to take a pill 4x daily, including in the middle of the night. Every day. It was a repeating alarm set for 2:30.
We slept through it and they missed the pill. Not ideal.

By the life of the party by bringing crossover cable, allowing you run ethernet directly from one laptop to the other for some intimate social networking. Keeps the LAN uncongested for everyone else.
Nice ethernet hardware will detect if you cable is not a crossover cable in this situation and reverse the pin mappings for you.

It’s all fun and games until someone brings a USB 2.0 thumb drive.
The file could transferred over the LAN and the network de-saturated faster the file could be copied off a USB 2 drive.
