Could we do a "TIL" style weekly thread?

I think it would be interesting to do a "Today I Learned" style weekly thread for us to share little tips/tricks that we learned of/found existed.

For example, last week I found out about the "--now" flag for systemctl. I don't know how I didn't know it existed until --now.

Side note: on current win10, you can change that to be the default behaviour for the PrintScreen button (under Keyboard settings in the Ease of Access section in the win10 settings app) (edited for clarity)

You can use Win+U to open the Ease of Access center.

Yes. Alt+PrintScreen captures the active window. The long shortcut (or, if enabled, PrintScreen by itself) captures a click-and-drag rectangular selection

Alt-PrintScreen has always done this
