What did you learn today?

After years of doing right click and "save image as" from a webpage, I discovered that you can just click on the image and drag it on to your desktop or straight into the required folder.

 

Usually you can do it the other way around, too, and drag a file into the web browser to open it

Or even straight into Photoshop, either onto an existing document as a new layer or as a new document.

I find the lack of an obvious run prompt on Server 2012 a PIA, so I normally find the CMD prompt and run fire off everything from there.

 

Today, I learned you can fire off notepad, mmc, etc directly from the powershell rather than having to find the CMD prompt. Result [ATTACH=CONFIG]33934[/ATTACH]

I assume you know that you can hit Win+R and pin run to the taskbar?

Thanks sted & Oaktech - that's two things I've learned today!

Windows key + X gives the same menu as right click on the start button - my most used keyboard shortcut

I learned that my local MP doesn't care at all if I don't have a water supply.

He probably is being paid by Nestle who disagree with the WHO on the concept of water being a basic human right.

Passed OS X 10.10 Essentials yesterday after 3 days of classroom stuff. My head hurts and is not prepared for learning of that kind at all...

I learned how to multipath in Linux, with KVM and Proxmox heads, to a SAN.

 

I also learned **** Linux.

I learned that even if a Wordpress blog doesn't provide an RSS feed you can just add a suffix to the address and it will work: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds

 

Now have a feed set up for Philip Reeve's blog: Philip Reeve » Blog so I shouldn't miss any news.
