Ditto. I left during the api stuff, but left my account in case they calmed down and realized it was stupid. The whole 'selling data for ai training' and actually filing for an ipo is what actually drove me to delete my 15 year old account today

While many weather apps use published NOAA/NWS data, there's no official app. Not sure who you're paying lol

I don't think I've ever heard that fastener called an Allen bolt, just the tool (Allen key). I've generally heard them called hex sockets heads. Maybe it's a regional thing?

I will make room for someone to merge if the person is using their signal, as long as it's safe to do so. I'm not going out of my way to help folks who can't be assed to do the bare minimum.

As others have said, I use it mainly for the search function to start programs as well as many shortcuts. I've seen others mention screenshots and locking, but here are a few more:

  • Win+. - Opens the special symbols/emoji windows
  • Win+ left or right arrow - Snaps a window to the left or right half of the screen, respectively. Up arrow maximizes, down minimizes.
  • Win+r - Opens the run dialog
  • Win+v - Opens clipboard history (history is off by default, it will ask you to enable it the first time you use the shortcut)
  • Win+x - Opens the 'quick link' menu (Power Options, Event Viewer, System, Device Manager, Network Connections, Disk Management, Computer Management, and Command Prompts
  • As a bonus, my favorite windows shortcut is Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L, which opens linkedin in in a new browser tab.

A full list can be found here: windows key shortcuts

I never remember whether we're currently in daylight savings or not since it's so stupid. I just started saying 'eastern time' instead of the abbreviation to avoid getting it wrong

Some websites intentionally change behavior based on your user agent. There are plenty of extensions for Firefox that let you change it so sites think you're using chrome instead. It's wild to me that's even a thing, but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Didn't even have to click to know you linked Forklift Driver Klaus

Besides the common stuff, I would add an extra set of arms. Who couldn't use 4 arms?

This is so immensely disappointing

Gecko skin!

Tron does a decent job of scrubbing it

I just started the hildibrand quests yesterday, what a coincidence

Generally agree on tools except for stuff that needs to work in an emergency even if you don't use it frequently, or stuff that can pose serious safety hazards if it fails.

My understanding is that most cheap tool brands save costs in QA and material choices (e.g. lower quality steel), which is what leads to things like the harbor freight jack stand recall.
