afraid_of_zombies,

A multimeter in amp mode acts the same as a regular wire. So you can use the probes as a means to generate a signal. If there is a god, and it is an engineer, then I am probably going to hell for this.

Blisterexe,

You can hold down spacebar or left click to fast forward thru a YouTube video!

mindbleach,

Fuck, is that why space-to-pause stopped working?

PM_Your_Nudes_Please,

You can do the same thing on tiktok. Hold near the left side of the screen, and it’ll play at 2x speed.

Lemminary,

That you can rotate your entire screen by 180° on Windows. I forget the shortcut key but I did panic a little when it happened the first time.

Why is there a need for this?

ExtraMedicated,

Some people like to rotate their monitor to fit more text on the screen.

shottymcb,

My monitor is 9:16 so I can scroll tic-tok.

Srootus,

Control + shift + down arrow key I think, it was the peak of comedy in our secondary school IT classes.

KpntAutismus,

my cat keeps finding new Windows features anytime he walks across my keyboard.

I do the same when wiping my phone. Some time ago I wiped it carfully and suddenly all the colors changed until i tapped the screen again.

proctonaut,

I’m a mechanic in a factory and maybe 1/10 calls I get starts with “what the fuck is that?”

hawgietonight,

I learnt (the hard way):

  • There are electrified fences
  • You don’t learn to wheelie while clipped in
  • Some dogs shouldn’t be touched
  • Binging on sugar free candy will keep you close to the toilet.

Just recently I found out that my new razer mouse can enable/disable scroll wheel indexation by pressing the small button next to it.

  • hawgietonight,

    Picture 18 y/o me in the 90’s with my new Marin Bear Valley SE and trick wellgo clipless pedals. No YouTube at the time, so had to figure stuff out intuitively… so I started to practice doing wheelies (while clipped in), and before you know it, I overshoot it a bit and my inexperience getting loose from the pedals had me land hard on my back.

    Now doing tricks with the bike is second nature, but it did take some bruises. Just remember to cover the rear brake ;)

    jystfact,

    On Google maps, you can zoom in and out with just your thumb by double tap+hold and then moving your thumb up and down

    Still,
    @Still@programming.dev avatar

    that’s a feature of image viewers as well

    allrian,

    Whoah ! Nice.Thanks for that info

    That if I touch myself down there I feel funny. Haven’t stopped since

    neidu2,

    And if I use my down there to touch someone elses down there it feels even funnier

    dan1101,

    I was looking at someone’s photos on an iPhone and we both discovered you could cut parts of the image out with a long press and drag (IIRC.)

    Bitrot,

    You can make them into stickers and put them into messages, can even have them moving. That stuff was an advertised feature though.

    My entire tech career.

    Jarix,

    That I can change the cursor position when typing by sliding left and right on the space bar (key?)

    And also if you long press the enter key it brings up a shortcut for emojis/gifs

    Bitrot,
    @Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    On iOS you can also move up and down between lines and select text with the spacebar (hold space, tap on keyboard somewhere else with another finger, drag space to select).

    Jarix,

    Neat for ios users!

    Phen,

    A ton of stuff. One that I figured out by myself and not many people seem to know is that in most softwares you can triple click on a word to select a full paragraph of text (double click selects the word). It works on code editors and IDEs as well, to select one line of code.

    NoneYa,

    There’s a useful feature in Defender for this I taught someone about today. If searching by subject title of an email, Defender may not show you the full subject if it’s too long. But if you triple click the title, it highlights all of it and lets you copy it despite some of it being covered up.

    corsicanguppy,

    “softwares” makes as much sense as “traffics” or “emails”; i.e. none. And now you’ve learned something more.

    all-knight-party,
    @all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

    Wait emails isn't grammatically correct? So, if you got an email, you could say "this email is cool", but if you had multiple you wouldn't say "these emails are cool"? It'd be "these email are cool"? That sounds wrong

    joranvar,

    I was guessing that the intended usage would be “email messages”. And I would compare it to (snail) mail. You can get a lot of letters, but it is still a lot of mail.

    all-knight-party,
    @all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

    I think the difference in day to day usage of the words is different. Theoretically I only ever refer to "emails" with people when I'm talking about work emails that are often in chains grouped together with the same subject. Sort of "did you see all of those emails about the forklift repair?"

    Whereas with physical mail it's always one offs, people wouldn't have groups of mail belonging to the same subject due to the nature of snail mail, they'd have all info for the person in one piece of mail and if there's back and forth it would just become "letters" or just papers/files at that point since the mail would already be opened and thrown away or filed away and you wouldn't consider it mail anymore.

    joranvar,

    Thanks! I’ve used emails as a plural of email for a long time, referring to the messages. Not a native speaker, maybe it’s something Dutch people do with some loanwords. Never softwares or the (more recent) codes, though.

    Lemminary,

    Nah, people do say “emails” all the time and it’s perfectly fine.

    Eg. “But her emails!”

    joranvar,

    Heh, thanks. I did just look up what people on StackExchange thought about it, and in short: both are correct, although the word originated as a mass noun (uncountable).

    favrion,
    @favrion@lemmy.world avatar

    I have also discovered that accidentally.

    Ejh3k,

    So many things that it’s hard to think of just one.
