Didnt belive it . Tried it . Confused. What were they thinking when they decide to make this
iirc Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win is an alias for the Office key found on some Surface Pro computers, which can be used to open LinkedIn with Office + L
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.
whispering give in, dualboot linux
My personal machines are all on linux already. But unfortunately my work laptop isn't and won't be unless I find a different job.
Then let's hope for a better windows in Europe
Dual boot? Disgusting. Windows doesn’t get the privilege of bare metal in my house. It must relegated to a virtual machine
That's good but some people use windows for
rootkitsgames that need bare metal or a more difficult vm setupVM gaming was a lot easier to setup than I expected. Anything is possible with the Arch Wiki! Some anticheats will block you though, so super competitive games like Counterstrike or Apex Legends are out
Ah, so that's my ctrl+alt+shift+win opens the office app. I discovered that a couple of years ago and I couldn't find it documented anywhere.

I mean, it's be funny
mint better
It's a key sequence by default: Win, l, i, n, k, e, d, i, n, Enter
Not if you turned off search results in the start menu.
By default 😹
There's more:
Yammer (now/soon called viva engage) is a weird social media service for internal usage inside a company.
I have no idea why it exists, but it does.
I'm not going to install Windows just to try this
Can verify, it works. Am horrified and baffled in equal measure.
LinkedIn lunatics eating good.
Question though: Does it ACTUALLY pick YOUR default browser, or does it pick their favourite browser?
it actually opens in the default browser
Wha-
Well, it's a 'feature' on that one line of laptop. Besides it's not like shortcuts performance suffer because of this, it's merely an obscure 'fun to know'.
Oh my God.
Wtf (you can do this with auto hotkey)
Break your fingerbones
Rage shortcut. Reminds me about
emerge --rage -C.
