As others have said, I use it mainly for the search function to start programs as well as many shortcuts. I’ve seen others mention screenshots and locking, but here are a few more:

• Win+. - Opens the special symbols/emoji windows
• Win+ left or right arrow - Snaps a window to the left or right half of the screen, respectively. Up arrow maximizes, down minimizes.
• Win+r - Opens the run dialog
• Win+v - Opens clipboard history (history is off by default, it will ask you to enable it the first time you use the shortcut)
• Win+x - Opens the ‘quick link’ menu (Power Options, Event Viewer, System, Device Manager, Network Connections, Disk Management, Computer Management, and Command Prompts
• As a bonus, my favorite windows shortcut is Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L, which opens linkedin in in a new browser tab.

For me, it was about being able to watch yt on my tv and mobile devices which are not able to block ads as easily as a desktop browser. I have a pihole on my home network, but it hasn’t been able to block yt ads for a few years.

This is so immensely disappointing

Besides the common stuff, I would add an extra set of arms. Who couldn’t use 4 arms?

There’s a few 3rd party solutions that are compatible with Google’s find my device coming out this year. Pebblebee just released a few trackers, and iirc chipolo is working on one too.

Generally agree on tools except for stuff that needs to work in an emergency even if you don’t use it frequently, or stuff that can pose serious safety hazards if it fails.

My understanding is that most cheap tool brands save costs in QA and material choices (e.g. lower quality steel), which is what leads to things like the harbor freight jack stand recall.
