Yesterday I accidentally learned that you can reposition the closed captions on YouTube videos. I waa at the Smartboard talking about how the cursor and my finger were a couple of inches apart, and I accidentally dragged the captions of a YouTube video that we were watching.

That if I touch myself down there I feel funny. Haven’t stopped since
And if I use my down there to touch someone elses down there it feels even funnier
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.
“softwares” makes as much sense as “traffics” or “emails”; i.e. none. And now you’ve learned something more.
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.
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.
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.
So many things that it’s hard to think of just one.
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
that’s a feature of image viewers as well
Whoah ! Nice.Thanks for that info
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.)
You can make them into stickers and put them into messages, can even have them moving. That stuff was an advertised feature though.
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.
I’m a mechanic in a factory and maybe 1/10 calls I get starts with “what the fuck is that?”
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.
that x marks it
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
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).
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?
