I pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the same time.

Gallardo994, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

Can we stop opening help webpages each time i accidentally press F1 instead of esc? Pretty please?

Quazatron, in What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?
@Quazatron@lemmy.world avatar

Good quality kitchen knives. Makes cooking a much better experience.

coffeemonster,

what’s a cheap quality kitchen knife.

EmiliaTheHero,

I personally really love my Babish Chef’s knife. I generally avoid buying content creator merch, but all the reviews I read for the knife seemed overwhelming positive for the price point

pokemaster787,

If you’ve got an Asian market, look for “Kiwi” brand knives there. Usually sold in big bins without packaging (maybe a plastic sleeve if you’re lucky). They’re sharp, but they do wear so also grab a cheap pull-through sharpener

shanjezi,

Victorinox chef’s knife 8" or 10"

edit: didn’t see the under $20 qualifier. looks like ~$45 on amazon currently. well worth that price imo

Peaty,

Literally the top choice for beater chefs knife in kits around the world. My Henkles and Globals are nice knives but if Im splitting up a partly frozen whole chicken Im using the victorinox because it is made to be abused

bitsplease,

+1 for victorinox, until I got my current knife, I exclusively used these

GyozaPower,

On the same note, Victorinox peelers are fucking great and, at least in here, they cost like 14€ or so.

AtmaJnana,

Nice. I need a new peeler soon and most of my best knives are Victorinox. Their paring knives are pretty well made as well.

kratoz29, in How do you spend your idle time?

Using my Miyoo Mini, or my DS Lite or DSi XL.

IMHO handhelds are truly a gem to be kept, and until streaming gaming (appears to be “the future”) is widely available for everyone we are better with the retro gaming community.

Honorable mention to larger handhelds such as the Switch or the Steam Deck…

Gallardo994, in What is your ringtone?

Forza Horizon 5 main menu OST. Doesn’t matter that I use my phone on vibrate though.

crypticthree, in What are your favorite names?

Kurt Russell’s main stuntman was named DICK WARLOCK

I would personally recommend the mucai h61 lga 1155 alliexpress motherboard I own one in my own personal rig and have been using it for almost 3 weeks now and it’s been smooth sailing Its £10 less than most other used motherboards and it has an additional m.2/mini pcie slot

cheeto, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?

You might be able to find this website on Google, but if you are in the US, this can help you get the freshest produce. I use it all the time. snaped.fns.usda.gov/…/seasonal-produce-guide

dil,

Huh. Apples are always in season.

hooferboof,

Yeah that seems a bit strange

cheeto,

I did some searching and it turns out some apples survive up to a year in a controlled atmosphere, so they are fresh year round. Pretty nuts.

For those in school:

www.desmos.com/scientific - badass scientific calculator. Desmos has a mobile app as well.

www.madeintext.com/subscript-generator/ - Helpful for typing out shit like: Na₂HPO₄ + H⁺ → NaH₂PO₄ + Na⁺

Also Windows Key + Period will open up a menu with a shit on of emojis and special characters, for things like that → arrow.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/475b8c27-324f-479b-b735-b61addbb40d7.png

^note that it’s got tabs on both the top and bottom of the menu

Strawberry,

also win+; for emoji!

AnonStoleMyPants,

Man, this made me remember that the win+period -window used to have a search bar in it. Loved it. Then suddenly I guess Microsoft thought that it was too convenient because it vanished.

Azzu,

It simply uses the text field you use it in as the search bar, you can just start typing and get results.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Oh wait really! Shit I need to try it out, thanks!

Sterile_Technique,
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

It still -kind of- does, it’s just not super intuitive anymore. Open the menu, select the tab, then just start typing your search. The text you type will appear in the text field you were typing in before opening the win+. menu, but as you type it’ll filter the emojis and symbols down to the ones that match your input, and then replace your input when you click one.

Really should just have a search bar. -_-

silverwing,

www.desmos.com/calculator is what I use every time I have to plot any graph

kuadhual,

just tried it, Windows/Meta + Period also works on KDE Plasma 5. 😀

justhach, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?
@justhach@lemmy.world avatar

This site will show you how to tackle any stain.

Scribbd,

This wording always has me imagining beefy American footballers tackling stained carpets.

kuadhual,

Sadly, today I was greeted with this message: We have discontinued our stain solution website.

jws_shadotak, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?

it-tools.tech

Bonus points is you can host yourself with docker. It has a bunch of handy tools for computer related projects.

jplee,

This is awesome!

ArtVandelay,
@ArtVandelay@lemmy.world avatar

I love this!

@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

For Windows, you can use devtoys for an offline version of this devtoys.app

wazoobonkerbrain,

What does it mean to host oneself? Is that like being a guest in your own house?

jws_shadotak,

You can set it up on your computer to run as a local website. You access it by going to your local computer IP address followed by the port it’s on.

I set mine to run on port 8084.

192.168.1.10:8084

If I put that into my browser it loads the website directly from the computer I’m hosting it from.

Steinsprut, in Do you pay for Discord Nitro?
@Steinsprut@szmer.info avatar

Yeah, I got a year for like $15 with some VPN shenanigans

Wouldn’t pay the regular price for sure

willya, in Do you pay for Discord Nitro?
@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

No. Only have it when some free month thing comes my way. I use matrix though too.

Hanabie, in Do you pay for Discord Nitro?
@Hanabie@sh.itjust.works avatar

Nope. It’s a bit kitschy, but it does its job. Nitro though, nah.

This To That tells you what type of adhesive to use to glue different materials together. It’s handy for Halloween when suddenly you need to figure out how to attach vinyl to styrofoam or something (hot glue)

Mr_Blott,

Useless in every country except one though. Never heard of these brands

Sklrtle,

I agree it would be better if the site included brands from other countries too, but it can still be used as a starting point. I’m sure you could Google the item and figure out the equivalent where you’re from.

TheGreenGolem,

A small instance of USDefaultism, but I appriciate OP’s thought.

SatyrSack,

Seems to be Canadian, not US
