Have you ever learned anything on the spot?
Have you ever learned anything on the spot?
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.
My entire tech career.
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
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.
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.
I have also discovered that accidentally.

"softwares" makes as much sense as "traffics" or "emails"; i.e. none. And now you've learned something more.
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.
You don't learn to wheelie while clipped in
I'm curious about the story for this one.
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 ;)
So many things that it's hard to think of just one.
I'm a mechanic in a factory and maybe 1/10 calls I get starts with "what the fuck is that?"
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.
You can hold down spacebar or left click to fast forward thru a YouTube video!
You can do the same thing on tiktok. Hold near the left side of the screen, and it’ll play at 2x speed.
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).
Neat for ios users!
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
