At this point, I'm certain that teachers don't know about full screen.

[–] Enasni@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I find it easier to inform people about the hot key.

For those unaware you just hold down Alt and press F4.

My favorite version of this was in Runescape back 20 years or so ago. Someone would tell someone to try it to unlock a cheat panel or something, and then you’d see the other players’ character just disappear lol

Or double click into the picture.

You didn't get the joke, right?

I just noticed it after seeing y'all mentioning it lol

[–] original_reader@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

🤦‍♂️ Duh. This took a while. Mistook ALT+F4 for ALT+ENTER.

😂 I'm so slow!

They can't!

As a teacher in luddite Germany: yes our smartboards still Run Windows Media Player + I need that bar visible so I'm able to stop the movie at the correct teachable scene.

(And before anyone suggests making a custom playlist with vlc and all those newfangled contraptions from around 2005: I don't even have admin rights to change the sound volume...)

Does the spacebar not work to pause and play the video?

[–] jfx@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need to see the timecode somehow...

[–] Aasikki@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Even though I now see why, it'll still bug the ever loving shit out of me.

We still use those overhead projectors, so, yeah

I've been in full corporate business leadership meetings where someone is sharing screen over zoom, but they have their PowerPoint windowed and one edge of it is slightly hanging off the side of the viewable screen.

What I'm saying is this sort of thing doesn't go away after you finish school

I once watched my dad watch a whole movie on his TV with the play bar up. I was waiting to see how long it would take him to notice and move it. Nope he watched the whole damn movie with it there.

My god, windows media player. This meme must be a few hundred years old by now

[–] Chickerino@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i happen to still mostly use windows media player on windows 10 LTSC, in my opinion it looks better and runs much better than whatever regular windows has nowadays

of course VLC exists too and is mostly superior, but it doesnt have the cool visualisations for music :(

[–] anoncity@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/windows10ltsc is still private. Do you know of an alternative place online to talk about that OS? I haven't found a Lemmy community for it yet

[–] Chickerino@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

not yet, if you want to push yourself a little bit you could create your own community for it

Pepperidge farm remembers those days.

Some teachers just want to watch the world burn.

[–] nepatriots32@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

As a teacher, I can confirm this. I always move the cursor out of the way, though. I don't get why other teachers don't do the same and how so many of them are so tech illiterate. Although I'm more amazed at the tech illiteracy of the students who use their phones 24/7.

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My (estranged) wife and kids seem content to watch streaming services this way, I'm genuinely just like what the fuck is wrong with y'all, I taught y'all better than this lol

Come to think of it, maybe that's why the marriage didn't work out.

Definitely not her chronically cheating for a decade. Nope. It was leaving the play bar up!

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'm so proud that my wife often notices when the surround sound isn't working properly on her own. Doesn't mean that she can fix it herself, but that's a job I will gladly do.

End the suffering

[–] dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Use the time stamp for note taking.

[–] Quills@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Peak relatableness

[–] SkySyrup@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I've become basically desensitized to it lmao

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Please... 🥲
