I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

In Windows 10 & 11, window+shift+S then draw a box to grab a quick, pre-cropped screenshot. It goes to your clipboard for easy paste and you get a notification you can click to view and save to file.

Bonus: use window+L at work to lock your desktop, preventing shenanigans.

Yeah, but they removed the "Ctrl+Alt+cursor" shortcut I used to use to punish people for leaving their computers unlocked.

That was part of the Intel integrated graphics program, not Windows.

Changed screen orientation. The cursor indicated which part of the monitor was the top of the screen, so with a standard monitor config "Ctrl+Alt+Down" flipped the screen, for instance.

Ahha of course. I remember using this to mess with people when I was in school. Thank you

Lol it's still around, a graphics tray shortcut or something
