    My best tip is to never use a vacuum cleaner when cleaning your PC. It might suck out your BIOS firmware.

    Great video! I learned a lot! I wish you would have put a summary list in the description. it would've help me remember the tips. I need to see things in writing to help remember them. So I'm going to rewatch and write them down

    Can you tell me a bit more about this "Outside world" thing

    • @StevenPersonal
      @StevenPersonal Před 7 lety +27

      Outside you will have access to these amazing and useful features; real people, pure oxygen produced by trees (I'm not going to go into detail about trees), physical shops to buy physical objects such as water and food! I personally really like food.

  • @ChrisPhillipsMusic510
    @ChrisPhillipsMusic510 Před 7 lety +11

    That last tip might actually be my favorite. I've seen so many comments from toxic people that decided to complain and gripe if I were to, for instance, mislabel a computer part because it was 2am and I was tired. These idiots come straight up with "You obviously have no idea what you're talking about!" as opposed to the obviously more helpful and simple, "Hey. I think you made a mistake, I think the correct thing is..."

    But the "outside" is full with hidden loading screen, like taking the elevator, buss, train, and the big one "sleeping".

  • @10Hrm10
    @10Hrm10 Před 7 lety +1

    This is one I use a lot: Ctrl + Arrow Keys (Left and right). It moves the typing cursor word by word, instead of letter by letter. And Shift + Arrow keys lets you highlight letter by letter, instead of having to use the mouse. And then, Crtl + Shift + Arrow keys highlights word by word.

  • @NeilRoy
    @NeilRoy Před 5 lety +2

    CTRL+SHIFT+T also works in Firefox, very handy tip! The right click to copy option is one I use a lot as left click and dragging will default to move if it is on the same device, where as you may only wish to copy and that is where right clicking comes into play.

    joe, here is a tip for your followers that are comcast customers. if after dropping their cable box remote it no longer accepts commands from buttons being pressed then do this. pull the batteries out one at a time and reinsert them properly. dropping the remote causes the batteries to come slightly ajar. i suggested this to comcast snd they were very happy that i told them this. i hope it helps people.

  • @mike_x48954
    @mike_x48954 Před 7 lety +9

    I use that ALT+F4 one all the time to shut down instead of going to start menu, I still have "update and shutdown" and "Update and restart" come up. That doesn't always bypass updates.

  • @clydevincentbenigno6792
    @clydevincentbenigno6792 Před 5 lety +1

    I figured something out in youtube, shift+/ will bring up an information panel that has keyboard shortcuts for youtube. Hope you read this ThioJoe, your videos are very helpful especially the one where you instruct how to engage all threads in a CPU.

    @AskMoonBurst Před 7 lety

    I knew some, but the triple click, drag right, shift tab, and that outside one I didn't know. Though for the life of me I can't imagine why anyone would want to use that last one.
    So for bringing me information I didn't already have, that's earned a Like. Props, Joe

    @jimbuchanan2026 Před 4 lety

    "OFF BUTTON" - and I was waiting for you to talk about this new/old feature. I actually replayed that section before I said to myself "duh! - Caught me". However, I do know about "outside" and there is actually an area near me that has a field which looks very similar to you screenshot of "Outside" except in the summer it is a field of sunflowers about 6 feet high. Truly splendid to view.
    BTW, I like your posts.

  • @NeilRoy
    @NeilRoy Před 5 lety

    Searched for the "OUTSIDE" app, couldn't find it. The CMD prompt tip was AWESOME! I could have used this SO MANY times. I usually just press SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK which will add an extra option to open a command prompt for that folder.

    @premierultima8698 Před 7 lety

    8:30 Outlook or Thunderbird used to have a RECALL function, which would allow to undo your sent mail, it the recipient hasn't read the mail by the time you realize your sent mail was wrong. It wouldn't always work since a mail may have different persons being sent to, some may have already read it, others not.

    Sometimes on the weekend, I listen to Kim Komando. But she is nothing but a Infocommercial. She really doesn't give good advise as much as she's pushing products.
    I'm saying you need your own weekly show because it would be hard to do everyday or Monday to Friday. Or maybe a spot on "FOX News" or some other major news network. A 5 minute spot and maybe answer some tweets and talk about current virus issues. I see you wear an occasional Google shirt, so I hope they are sponsoring you.
    You're a good teacher.

  • @GriggzorGaming
    @GriggzorGaming Před 7 lety

    There is a much easier way to not get any ads when you install a program, and doing it my way requires almost no reading at all, I go by the "if the decline button works, click it" logic, you see, usually the wizard makers just greys out the decline button when it is a required step to installing the program, and if it's not greyed out but still a required step it will just move you back to the previous page, not cancel the installation, so always click the decline button. =)
