I think the origin was that Surface devices had a dedicated Office button, so you could press Office+W to open Word and such. Office+L opened LinkedIn

But this button was internally just mapped to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win, giving this shortcut. I am actually impressed that it uses your default browser though instead of forcing Edge.

This list contains pretty much everything I wanted in this app. Thank you for your work

How are in-store pickup sales tracked for revenue?

So, obviously, if you go to a brick-n-mortar store and buy something there, it counts as a sale for the store, with stores that don’t get enough sales often closing. But if I order something online from, say, Best Buy and pick it up in store, how is that tracked? Does it count as a sale for the store, even though I didn’t...

I’d guess it depends on the chain. I know of one retailer where a store pickup would count as an in-store sale, which gave revenue to that particular store. This applied even if the in-store pickup required the item to be shipped to the store first

I use a Git repo for the files, and a simple Makefile to script the correct paths and optional install steps for them

That looks useful, thanks for sharing

Probably just that Pikachu often says “pika pika”, and sometimes variations like “pika pi”

This looks really nice, I’ll star it so I remember to download it later

Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

4 days on-site. I like the mental separation by having a completely separate space for work, and I enjoy talking to my colleagues. I don’t see many people outside of work, so I need the social interaction. And the lunches at work are usually much healthier than something I’d cook up myself, so that’s also a plus.

I have tried to work from home a few days, but don’t really like it at all.

I’m sorry for having an opinion different than yours. I am not even saying that WFH is bad or anything, just that I don’t prefer it.

KHTangent,

By talking to others, I’m feeding on their energy? I never said that I forcefully disturb others so they have to talk to me or something. I just enjoy the casual day-to-day chats with my coworkers.

But if calling strangers gross on the internet makes you feel good, I hope you have a lovely day.

KHTangent,
@KHTangent@lemmy.world avatar

That seems like a very depressing mindset to have. And don’t generalize your view onto everyone else like that. You say this as if I’m forcing everyone else at work to talk to me, which I am not. I am not even the one to initiate most conversations.

KHTangent,
@KHTangent@lemmy.world avatar

I actually work in a company where anyone can work from home if they want. It’s just that many of us chose not to for various reasons.

So I’m sorry for having a preference different than yours, but if your management uses me as a single example to keep people in the office against their will, I think that’s s problem with the management, not with me.

I really love concept albums where the chorus of the first song makes a return in the finale. Makes it feel so conplete.

Examples, all power metal:

  • Gloryhammer - Return to the kingdom of Fife
  • Memories of Old - The Zeramin Game
  • Marius Danielsen’s Legend of Valley Doom - (all three albums listened to together)

That feeling when you're googling the answer to some technical question, and your own Lemmy post appears 4 results down. (lemmy.one)

Hopefully this kind of content is ok here. Up until recently, when I would be searching for some kind of technical info, the top (and best) results would usually all be Reddit posts. I was very pleasantly surprised to do that this time and find a Lemmy post instead!...

Yay HaxeFlixel

That was one of my main introductions to programming in general

It was used to power the Vive Wireless Adapter. I’ve also seen a Steelseries keyboard which used this cable type.

It’s not widely used, but it’s nice to be able to buy one

Or you could get a QR code reader that displays the URL before opening the browser.

The font on that website is so thin and bright (on my device) that I can’t even read it

Travel agents are still widely used by small and medium sized businesses. It’s much faster to say “Get these two people to London for these days” in an email instead of manually looking for flight tickets and hotels.

But I haven’t heard of anyone using them for private trips in a long time.

Some password hashing functions have a maximum input length. That could be a reason for some of the requirements. E.g. if I remember correctly, bcrypt used a maximum of 60 characters, while still being an ok choice for a hashing function

CloneZilla has worked well for me in the past

I don’t understand how Zedge still exists, and is apparently doing relatively well too

I'm glad to hear that
