You should repost the solution here too, might help someone else later

I think they’re fine but kind of unnecessary unless you’re boxing a bunch of stuff. If you’re moving or do online sales on e-bay or whatever it might be worth picking up a quality one but otherwise just buy a roll of packing tape.

Are you sure you’re not conflating it with the drop bear?

I love these goofy little bastards…

It logs literally everything you do with screenshots, then sends it to M$ despite their assurances that it would be local only.

Super invasive!

I am the IT department, but have had mostly good experiences with FOSS stuff, although you do need to vet the licensing: Not all licenses will allow for a company or institution to use it.

Also, you need to make sure it will work reliably, doesn’t pose any security risks, etc. but that should always be SOP for any software FOSS or proprietary, free or paid. If a tech department isn’t vetting stuff, then they’ve already fucked up before deploying anything.

FOSS isn’t necessarily bad in an enterprise environment though, sometimes it’s even the best possible option (most web servers run some version of Linux, for example).

There’s also Greenshot if people dislike the built in stuff, it’s free, open source, and works pretty well.

It depends on how the app you were using was written. If it was written correctly, it’ll work, if not, blame the company that made it (especially when it’s Microsoft themselves!).

Power Toys has a feature that will force it to work in every app, I highly recommend it! There’s all sorts of helpful features in Power Toys.

Power Toys FTW!

I can believe it: Stuff like this is not very well advertised to users so tons of useful shortcuts go unused regularly.

Bonus hotkeys:

WIN + X will also bring up a more helpful menu and allow you to do things like shut down, restart, sleep the computer using only a few keystrokes instead of clicking around.

WIN + right or left arrow will snap the screen to one side or the other, WIN + up maximizes, WIN + down will minimize

CTRL + SHIFT + V in Windows pastes without formatting

Dude your girlfriend is stalking me, please tell her to stop.

Use it when you’re in a pickle.

Don’t make this a big dill.

Awesome, thanks!

That’s how you get pinkeye!

I wonder if there is a mirrorsforsale community or magazine somewhere in the fediverse…

Kids in college, but Bananaphone still gets referenced semi-regularly in my household.

Honorable mention to Baby Beluga and Joshua Giraffe as well.

Sorry, but where shouldn’t beans be?

Ok, now that I ask, I guess you could say something like “human lungs”, but doesn’t that really just mean we haven’t evolved to breathe beans yet?

One beautiful day, we will achieve such a power!
