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

      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

    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…)

    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.

      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 :(

        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

    Some teachers just want to watch the world burn.

      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.
