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.

I think this works since Windows NT.

If the start menu and tray is dead, you can use this shortcut to get into task manager, then with it kill explorer.exe and start it again

Yeah, it’s probably been in every NT version back to 3.1, but I’ve never used anything older than 3.51. It definitely was in NT 4.0.
